In fact, New Zealand batting hasn’t been tested to full throttle in the tournament. They were put on the backfoot against Bangladesh where they had lost wickets in a cluster. However, apart from that match, the remaining two wins against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka has been relatively easy. Thus, South Africa will like to test the middle order of the Blackcaps.
