Betting Preview
The Proteas head into the clash with some momentum after a five-wicket win over Zimbabwe on Monday, while this will be the Black Caps’ tournament opener.
South Africa are likely to stick with the same top five that delivered victory earlier in the week, meaning teenage left-arm quick Kwena Maphaka may have to miss out again.
