Mitchell will face the challenge of Lungi Ngidi, who is the senior bowler in the South African side, and would hope to put on a solid performance in the final.
Lhuan-dré Pretorius vs Matt Henry
Lhuan-dré Pretorius, who is expected to open the innings for South Africa, would wish to continue his aggressive style of play at the top of the order.
Pretorius will go head-to-head against Matt Henry, who, like Ngidi, is the senior bowler for New Zealand and would like to put his hand up and deliver a match-winning performance in the final.
Dewald Brevis vs Mitchell Santner
Dewald Brevis will play a crucial role in stabilizing the South African innings in the middle order, courtesy of the maturity he has shown, especially in T20 cricket.
