NZ vs SA, World Cup 2023 Match 32: Team news
New Zealand and South Africa have played eight times in the World Cup, with the former winning six and South Africa winning two. In the last encounter of 2019, the Kiwis won by four wickets with captain Kane Williamson’s 106 (138).
New Zealand suffered a minor setback in their flying season with consecutive losses to India and Australia. He currently ranks third in the points table with four wins from six games and boasts a net run rate of +1.232.
Williamson, whose comeback from a cruciate ligament injury was interrupted by another thumb injury, was ruled out of the heat. Stand-in captain Tom Latham provided an update on Williamson’s fitness and hoped he would be “ready to play” ahead of the match, but Williamson was unable to regain fitness in time. He said there was no.
Lockie Ferguson’s right Achilles tendon issue and Mark Chapman’s calf injury are also injury concerns in camp. Whether they can participate in tomorrow’s game depends on their physical fitness.
At this point, South Africa was a force to be reckoned with in the World Cup. Thanks to an explosive batting performance, they have won five out of six matches and they currently sit squarely behind unbeaten India in the points table with an unparalleled net plus run rate of 2.032. His one-wicket win in an exciting duel against Pakistan gives them momentum.
