New Zealand and South Africa will lock horns in the 25th match of the ICC World Cup 2019. The Blackcaps have had a good start to the tournament as they had won their opening three matches. However, their last match against India was washed off due to rain. We take a look at New Zealand’s Predicted Playing XI and Analysis.

On the other hand, South Africa hasn’t had a great start to the ODI showpiece. The Proteas had savoured their maiden win of the tourney against Afghanistan and they would like to build on the momentum. South Africa also received Lungi Ngidi boost ahead of the match.
