NZ vs SA Key battles:
Devon Conway vs Corbin Bosch
New Zealand opener Devon Conway, who scored a match-winning half-century in the last match against Zimbabwe, would be itching to put on another solid performance in the return fixture against South Africa.
Conway will be up against Corbin Bosch, who has been in the form of his life since the beginning of South Africa's tour of Zimbabwe.
Daryl Mitchell vs Lungi Ngidi
Daryl Mitchell, who is an integral part of New Zealand's middle order, will look to make a significant contribution once again in the upcoming match.
Mitchell will face the challenge of Lungi Ngidi, who will look to pick wickets for the team against an in-form New Zealand batting lineup.
Lhuan-dré Pretorius vs Matt Henry
Lhuan-dré Pretorius, who appears to be an attacking batter, would want to continue his aggressive style of play against New Zealand.
Pretorius will go head-to-head against Matt Henry, who is one of the senior members of New Zealand's bowling lineup, and will have to take the responsibility of picking up early wickets.
Dewald Brevis vs Mitchell Santner
Dewald Brevis, who has made a name for himself as a reliable batter in a short span of time, would want to repay the faith shown in him by the South African team management.
Brevis will have to tackle the bowling of New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner, who would wish to lead from the front.
