NZL vs SAF: Pitch Report
The MCA Stadium is a paradise for batsmen. Historically, its pitch has favoured the batters, providing a consistent platform for them to play their strokes and accumulate big scores. Out of the 9 ODIs hosted here, the average first-inning score is a notable 294 runs. Teams batting first and second have had close fortunes, with four and five victories each. India's spectacular score of 356/2 against England in 2017 stands as the highest at this venue, whereas the lowest is 232, made by India against Australia in 2013. In the current tournament, teams chasing have emerged victorious in both matches, suggesting that the ball might play better under the lights. As a result, the captain winning the toss might prefer to bowl first, aiming to chase down the total later.
NZL vs SAF: Head-To-Head ODI Record
New Zealand and South Africa have locked horns in 71 ODIs. Of these encounters, New Zealand has emerged victorious 25 times, while South Africa has secured 41 wins. The remaining 5 matches were inconclusive. In the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, the story takes a different turn.
