NZ vs SA Head-to-Head Records- Key Statistics
The NZ vs SA has witnessed 17 matches so far in T20I cricket, and the majority of those have been a good battle between bat and ball.
Out of the 17 matches, it is New Zealand who have a significant lead with 11 wins as compared to New Zealand's six after the same number of attempts.
Having said that, the tables have started to turn in New Zealand's favour of late, with the Mitchell Santner-led side winning three out of the last five matches that the two sides have featured in against each other.
Two of New Zealand's last five wins in question have come in the ongoing tri-series, and the BlackCaps would like to make it three in three when they take on South Africa in the final.
As far as South Africa is concerned, the Rassie van der Dussen-led side would want to register their first win over South Africa in this series, that too in an important game like the final, and they have the resources to do so.
The reason for so is the presence of batters like Pretorius and Brevis along with the captain Rassie van der Dussen, all of whom have the capability of putting pressure on an in-form bowling lineup.
However, the man-to-man comparison between the two teams and their form on the field paints a completely different story, with New Zealand yet to lose a match on this tour.
Both teams have been a part of some high-intensity matches in white ball cricket, one of which was the semi-final of the 2015 ODI World Cup that New Zealand won courtesy of a spirited batting performance.
