NZ vs SA  Dream11 Prediction | New Zealand vs South Africa Match Preview | Fantasy Team & Team News

South Africa and New Zealand face each other in the 25th ODI of the ICC World Cup. Proteas will look to take revenge on the semi-final loss against the Blackcaps. New Zealand on the other hand, will look to regain their number one spot on the points table, which was taken over by Australia.

It’s been a tough World Cup for South Africa. They lost their ace pacer, Dale Steyn, to a shoulder injury and have only won a single game against Afghanistan from the 5 they have played so far. They are at the seventh position on the table, just above Afghanistan with only 3 points. They will heavily rely on their bowlers, especially Imran Tahir.

In contrast, New Zealand hasn’t lost a single game so far in the tournament. Their individual performances are peaking at the right time for the team and they will definitely love to continue their streak of wins against South Africa, who have a very poor form right now. To counter South Africa’s bowling prowess, New Zealand has a solid batting unit, led by skipper Kane Williamson.
