Match Preview
NZ vs SA: The 10th warm-up game of ICC Mens T20 World Cup Warm-up Matches 2022 will be played between New Zealand and South Africa. The fixture will take place at Allan Border Field on Monday, 17th October 2022.
The Black Caps were the first runners-up in the last edition of the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2021. They performed brilliantly in their last season as a unit. However, they are in decent shape currently. They last featured in a Tri-Series against Pakistan and Bangladesh. They played well yet lost the finals. Daryl Mitchell was the biggest positive for the New Zealand side as he performed exceptionally well.
South Africa, on the other hand, batted brilliantly in the bilateral series against India. However, the skippers’ form is the major concern for the management. They have a good mix of young and experienced players in the unit. Hence, a good game of cricket is on the cards for sure.
