New Zealand vs South Africa prediction

New Zealand let themselves down with the bat last time out and a reaction is expected from a team of players looking to impress. They were bowled for just 91 after winning the toss and batting first with the top order proving uncompetitive as each of the top four were dismissed for single figure scores. South Africa’s batters weren’t tested as a consequence in what was a straightforward run chase.

We should see a much better Black Caps performance here. Their team remains good with a few real difference makers and in Hamilton, you would expect plenty more runs from them if batting first. T20 can be an inconsistent game and with that in mind, consider backing the hosts to level things up.  

New Zealand vs South Africa tip: New Zealand to win
