Betting Preview
New Zealand are the clear favourites to lift the title. Their unbeaten run across the tournament, combined with stronger bowling displays and higher chase success rates, sets the tone. South Africa, despite showing fight and pulling off important wins, have been inconsistent with the ball, especially in powerplay overs, and remain under pressure to perform in crunch moments.
