New Zealand vs South Africa prediction

New Zealand got the better of South Africa by 21 runs when the two nations last collided in this tri-series, so payback is on the agenda for the Proteas here in Harare. The two sides are well-matched and there’s no reason why South Africa couldn’t be the team to seize the early initiative in this match as they did against Zimbabwe by taking two wickets inside the powerplay.

The batting of New Zealand has been strong across this entire tri-series. But they are due an off-day and it would be no surprise to see it come here. South Africa are no doubt good enough to take advantage of that and the shrewd move would be backing them to overcome the Black Caps on this occasion.

New Zealand vs South Africa tip: South Africa to win
