New Zealand have been cruising so far, registering comfortable wins against Afghanistan and UAE. Openers Finn Allen and Tim Seifert chased 174 in just 15.2 overs against the UAE in their last match and will be keen to continue their good form against the South African pacers.
South Africa, on the other hand, are fresh off a nail-biting win against Afghanistan. The match went into a second Super Over where Keshav Maharaj held his nerve to defend five off the last ball. While Ryan Rickelton and Quinton de Kock have put in solid performances with the bat, pacer Lungi Ngidi has picked up seven wickets in just two matches and will be key going forward.
The overall head-to-head record favors the Proteas, who have won 11 of their 18 matches against the Kiwis. However, the Black Caps have won four of their last five matches. Everything points to this being one of the best matches of the tournament so far.
