South Africa face New Zealand today in Lahore for the second ODI of the tri-series.
New Zealand, coming off a dominant win against the Pakistanis by 78 runs, will be hoping to keep them winning. Spearheaded by Temba Bavuma, South Africa boasts a squad that can go all the way, even without many stalwarts.
Both sides will be desperate to earn their place in the final and the game should be an exciting one.
New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner has won the toss and opted to bowl first, citing the tacky pitch and early swing.
South Africa’s Temba Bavuma is hopeful, led his country’s batting line to stand in the absence of “big names” and the task of putting in a score the other side would be able to chase.
With batsmen like Devon Conway and Kane Williamson for New Zealand and Jason Smith and Kyle Verreynne for South Africa, a high-scoring game is on the cards for the fans.
New Zealand’s Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner would aim to take advantage of these conditions while South Africa’s spin pair of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi would be vital.
Both the teams will lock horns here to set the stage for a nail-biting contest. Don’t miss a single ball with our guide to watching a South Africa vs New Zealand live stream today.
