South Africa will expect that pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada is fit and raring to go after missing out on the Pakistan game in Chennai. Rabada has that aura which can always worry opposition and his presence certainly helps youngsters like Gerald Coetzee and Marco Jansen to up their game.

 

One department where South Africa hold a distinct advantage is having both Keshav Maharaj's orthodox left-arm spin and Tabraiz Shamsi's left-arm wrist spin.

 

While Shamsi won the 'Player of the Match' award against Pakistan, New Zealanders will not be too worried as they played Kuldeep Yadav comfortably in the opening game.

South Africa pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada is expected to return to Proteas Playing 11 after missing the previous match against Pakistan. In that case, Tabraiz Shamsi might pave the way given Pune wicket likely to assist pacers more than the spinners.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | New Zealand vs South Africa playing 11 live updates | Semis spot at stake

With both teams firmly in contention for semi-final berths, one can expect good game of cricket where batters of both sides are expected to set the tone of the match.

 

For New Zealand (8 points from 6 games) , the Dharamsala-leg after four straight victories didn't pan out on expected lines and another loss would give the likes of Afghanistan (6 points) and Pakistan (4 points) a shot at semi-final qualification.

 

On the other hand, if South Africa (10 points from 6 games) win, the 12 points will almost put them in the last-four bracket alongside India.

 

Hence, it would be one of the most high-stakes game of the league stage and a team like Pakistan wouldn't mind if New Zealand suffer a hat-trick of defeats.

 

Both teams have put up more than impressive bating performances in most of the games but the track at the Maharashtra Cricket Association ground in Gahunje hasn't exactly been a belter with spinners getting sufficient help like Afghanistan spinners did against Sri Lanka in their seven-wicket victory.

One side endured the agony of a close defeat and other felt the ecstacy of victory in a rip-roaring game but when New Zealand and South Africa clash in a World Cup game here on Wednesday both will start on an even keel.

 

The current edition of World Cup has featured mostly lopsided games but if the two games stood out, one certainly was South Africa's one-wicket win against Pakistan in Chennai and New Zealand nearly pulled off a sensational chase of 388 against Australia before finishing five runs short.

 

With both teams firmly in contention for semi-final berths, one can expect good game of cricket where batters of both sides are expected to set the tone of the match.
