NZ vs SA Preview:
- Daryl Mitchell, who played a commendable innings of 54 runs from 51 balls in Match 27 against Australia, enters the Pune match with an impressive ODI batting average of 51.80. Notably, he contributed a score of 48 against the Netherlands and recorded memorable performances of 89 not out and 130 in this tournament. Our prediction is that Mitchell will be New Zealand’s top run-scorer against South Africa. In contrast, Trent Boult delivered a notable performance, securing 3-77 in the recent defeat, and the left-arm fast medium bowler has amassed 8 wickets in the last four games. With a career tally of 206 ODI wickets at an average of 23.90 and a strike rate of 28.9, Boult is our choice for New Zealand’s leading wicket-taker in this clash.
- On the South African side, Aiden Markram impressed with a remarkable 91 runs from 93 balls in Match 26 against Pakistan, displaying brilliant form with one century and three half-centuries in the competition. Markram enters this game with an average of 73.36 and a striking strike rate of 121.17 from his last 13 ODIs. Our expectation is that Markram will emerge as South Africa’s highest run-scorer in this match. Meanwhile, Marco Jansen has proven himself with an outstanding tournament, securing 13 wickets at an impressive rate of one wicket every 21.69 deliveries. Jansen, aged 23, is known for swinging the ball with the new ball at the start of the innings and has consistently taken at least 2 wickets in every game in the campaign. We anticipate Jansen will be South Africa’s leading wicket-taker against New Zealand.
- Marco Jansen’s blend of pace, height, and precision has made a significant impact in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. We suggest placing a bet on Jansen to take more than 1.5 wickets in this ODI.

Weather & Pitch Report:
Weather: ⛅
Once more, in Pune, there is no significant anticipated increase in humidity during the match. The weather forecast calls for clear skies and temperatures exceeding 32 degrees Celsius during the initial hours of the game.
Pitch Report:
In Monday’s match at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, there was a subtle sense of inconsistent bounce on the pitch. A first-innings total of 270+ should prove to be highly competitive in this contest.
Toss Prediction:
In Pune’s recent ODI history, the team batting second has emerged victorious in three out of the last four matches, with the last two games won by a convincing 7-wicket margin. Consequently, it is anticipated that both team captains will opt to chase if they win the toss.
NZ vs SA Team NEWS:
NZ Team News:
In their recent game in Dharamsala, New Zealand stayed competitive with Australia throughout the match, but they fell short by just 5 runs. Consequently, we don’t anticipate making sweeping changes to the team. Nonetheless, our forecast suggests that Tim Southee is likely to join the playing eleven, potentially stepping in for Matt Henry.
SA Team News:
Kagiso Rabada was absent in the thrilling victory over Pakistan last Friday due to a back injury, and it’s unlikely that he will be at risk in this match. The Proteas squad already boasted a robust team spirit, but their camaraderie has likely surged to greater heights following their nail-biting 1-wicket win in Match 26.

NZ vs SA Key Players:
New Zealand
Daryl Mitchell
While he may have felt a twinge of disappointment for not turning his fifty into a century against Australia, the right-handed batting all-rounder continues to exhibit outstanding form.
Rachin Ravindra
The 23-year-old has emerged as one of the standout performers in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, and he achieved his second century of the tournament in a recent match.
Mitchell Santner
While the left-arm spin bowling all-rounder proved a bit costly against Australia, he has remained relentless in picking up wickets throughout this tournament. Notably, he removed Mitchell Marsh and Marnus Labuschagne last Saturday.
Trent Boult
The seasoned left-arm swing bowler claimed the wickets of Josh Inglis, Pat Cummins, and Adam Zampa in the previous match. If he manages to secure three more wickets in this game, he will reach the milestone of 600 international wickets.
South Africa
Aiden Markram
Before Tuesday’s match, just four players have amassed more runs in this tournament. The 29-year-old cricketer played a pivotal role by striking seven fours and three sixes in his innings against Pakistan.

Marco Jansen
The left-arm pace bowling all-rounder is in exceptional form, as evidenced by his performance in Friday’s match. He efficiently removed both opening batsmen and later returned to claim the wicket of Mohammad Nawaz in the innings.
Tabraiz Shamsi
In the recent game, the left-arm wrist spinner seemed to have regained his top form. In his two outings in the tournament, he has delivered impressive figures of 6 wickets for 98 runs.
