South Africa will face New Zealand in the second match of the ongoing Zimbabwe T20I tri-series on Wednesday, July 16. The former won the first match against hosts Zimbabwe easily by five wickets. Youngsters Dewald Brevis and Rubin Hermann played starring roles in the Proteas' win. They will carry the same momentum into the second match against New Zealand.
The Kiwis are returning to international cricket after a month's break. Mitchell Santner will be leading the side, which sees Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, and Glenn Phillips. The bowling also looks solid, with the likes of William O'Rourke, Adam Milne, and Matt Henry. It will be a battle between New Zealand's bowlers between South Africa's batters. Whoever wins the battle will most probably go on to win the match.
