Venue | MCA Stadium, Pune |
Both teams are well placed in terms of semifinal qualification. New Zealand have been very good in the World Cup, however, they have suffered close defeats in their previous two games. The team cannot afford to drop another match as the defeat will get their campaign in trouble. New Zealand almost chased 389 against Australia in last game so they have confidence and momentum on their side.
Meanwhile, South Africa have been ruthless, however, they have at times choked under pressure. They lost one match to Netherlands and almost lost to Pakistan in last game from a position of strength. South Africa need to ensure the team does not panic in pressure situations else their dream of winning a World Cup will stay a distant dream.
Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction for this match.
The surface should be good for batting. The pitch will not offer much help to the bowlers while the quick outfield will give batters full value for their shots.
It will be bright and sunny, with temperature ranging between 33 and 21 degrees. There is no rain predicted but dew can play a role.
Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (c & wk), Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi
There is a slim chance that Kane Williamson might be fit to play in the crucial game. If not, New Zealand should play the same team. Kagiso Rabada can come back in place of Lungi Ngidi in the South Africa playing XI.
South Africa clearly hold an edge over New Zealand in terms of head to head records.

Rachin Ravindra has been a great find for New Zealand. He has scored two centuries in the tournament and almost helped New Zealand chase 389 against Australia. He has scored 406 runs so far. Rachin can also contribute with the ball.
Conway has blown hot and cold in the tournament. He has scored 277 runs for the team so far and New Zealand would expect a great outing from the senior batter.
Santner has bowled extremely well in the tournament, with 14 wickets in six matches. The pitch will not offer help to bowlers but Santner is very accurate with his lines thus can make life tough for batters.
Quinton de Kock has enjoyed a great season. He is the leading run scorer of the tournament with 431 runs in six games. De Kock has also scored three centuries in the tournament.
Markram has also been at his destructive best in the World Cup. He has a 49 ball century and a few fiery fifties to his name. South Africa have posted most 300+ scores this season and Markram has played a big role in achieving the feat.
