NZ vs SA Preview

New Zealand displayed a strong batting performance against Pakistan in their first warm-up game as they chased down a target of 346 in just 43.4 overs with five wickets in hand. The Kiwis however will like their bowlers to step up on the difficult wicket.

South Africa, on the other hand, will be hoping to get some game time as their first warm-up match against Bangladesh was washed out because of rain. They have entered the mega event in some form as they defeated Australia at home. However, they will need to get accustomed to the Indian conditions quickly to have a strong run in the World Cup.
