The match preview, venue, dates & time, squad, team comparison, Last 5- ODIs performance, head to head, match prediction
Two of the most evenly matched teams in world cricket, currently one New Zealand have played 5 ODI, 2 win, 2 loss and 1- abandoned while second South Africa have won 3 ODIs, lost 2nd ODIs in 5 ODIs.
The match between NZ vs SA will be exciting and expected to be close because both the teams have well balanced bowling and batting lineups. New Zealand has already played a warm up match against Pakistan in Hyderabad and it won that match.
New Zealand will be relying on their confident and experienced players like Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Trent Boult, and Tim Southee to lead the way to the World Cup title. They also have their strong batting lineup, with Devon Conway, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, and Tom Latham as key batting players. In the upcoming World Cup, New Zealand is determined to secure the title after finishing as runners-up in the last two world cups.

South Africa will be led by their experienced players Quinton de Kock, Temba Bavuma, Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram an all- rounder. But there is some instability at the top order of the team. They will also be relying on their pace attack of Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, and Marco Jansen to take wickets.
Both teams hold the capability to come out victorious in the game. They will be making it a possibility of an exciting practice match among the pre-World Cup fixtures.

Match Prediction:
Who will win the match, New Zealand or South Africa?
New Zealand are the slight favourites to win the match because NZ already won its 1sr warm up match against Pakistan. but South Africa is also a confident and big scoring team and should not be underestimated. I predict that New Zealand will win the match by a narrow margin.
