NZ vs SA | ODI World Cup 2023 | Pre - Match Analysis
The 32nd match of the ODI World Cup 2023 will have New Zealand play against South Africa at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. With more wins than losses in the flagship tournament, these two proud nations are a couple of steps away from securing a semi-final place. In the recent past, the Blackcaps and the Proteas haven’t contested against each other much in 50 overs cricket, but still the quality of both these teams could translate into a great ODI World Cup 2023 match.
Pitch Report
In the first match played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, during the ODI World Cup 2023, Bangladesh put together a below-par total of 256 runs on the board against India on a placid pitch, which was chased down with ease. Moreover, the average first-innings score at this venue is 301 in ODI cricket, which could easily be the total when New Zealand take on South Africa on November 1.
