- New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra needs just 30 runs to complete 1000 runs in ODI cricket.
South Africa vs New Zealand Chance of Winning
An inexperienced South African side comes to Pakistan to participate in the tri-series ahead of the Champions Trophy. They suffered a whitewash in their most recent series - a 3-0 loss at home to Pakistan. They suffered a big loss with Gerald Coetzee ruled out of the tri-series as well as the Champions Trophy. While Lungi Ngidi and Tabraiz Shamsi have been brought into the fold, they have brought a very inexperienced side under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma.
New Zealand made a big splash in the tri-series with a dominating win over hosts Pakistan. Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell starred for the Kiwis, who were buoyed by the inclusion of Kane Williamson into the squad. The bowlers also did well in the first game with both Matt Henry and captain Mitchell Santner returning with 3 wickets. It wasn’t all rosy for the Kiwis though, as they lost Rachin Ravindra to injury after the ball hit him on the head.

South Africa vs New Zealand Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
The pitch at the Gaddafi Stadium supports batters with the bowlers finding it difficult to pick regular wickets. The previous game saw an aggregate score of 582 runs in the match. Despite South Africa scoring over 250 runs just once in their last four games, we’re expecting the match to be high-scoring. We feel the match will see more than 500 aggregate runs, a total that should easily be breached if New Zealand bats first.
Will Young failed to get going against the hosts in the first match, perishing after scoring just 4 runs. However, he has been the best batter among both teams in the last 10 games. He has scored 460 runs in the last 10 matches, at an average of over 57. We are expecting him to go big in Lahore.

South Africa vs New Zealand Match Toss Prediction
New Zealand began the series with a win after batting first at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Three of the last four matches played at the ground have been won by teams that set the target. We’re expecting the captain that wins the toss to bat first.
Weather Report
The temperature in Lahore is expected to be between 19 and 24 degrees celsius during match hours. There’s little to no rain forecast during the match and fans can expect to see a full game.

South Africa vs New Zealand Betting Odds
Expect plenty of wickets to fall in the powerplay overs
South Africa have come to the subcontinent with an extremely inexperienced side. Temba Bavuma is likely to open the batting for them along with Jason Smith, who has played just 2 ODIs. The Kiwis will be fretting over the fitness of opener Rachin Ravindra and it remains to be seen who will partner Will Young at the top of the order. New Zealand lost two wickets in the first 10 overs against Pakistan in the first match of the series. We are not expecting either team to start well and feel the powerplay overs will see both the teams lose a couple of wickets in the first 10 overs each.

South Africa vs New Zealand Top Batters
Jason Smith to be South Africa’s top batsman
South Africa’s top order batter Jason Smith has played only two ODIs for the team so far. Despite his short ODI career, the 30-year-old has already scored a half-century - a score of 91 against Ireland last year. We’re expecting him to shine at the top of the order and cause the Kiwi bowlers some trouble.
Will Young to be New Zealand’s top batsman
Will Young has scored 460 runs in his last 10 matches to be the team’s most prolific batsman during this period. The opening batter has played six times in Pakistan in his career, averaging over 40. We are expecting him to use the game against South Africa as a launchpad ahead of the crucial Champions Trophy.
South Africa vs New Zealand Top Bowlers
Lungi Ngidi to be South Africa’s top bowler
South Africa’s bowling unit will be bolstered by the inclusion of Lungi Ngidi, who joined the squad after finishing the SA20 with Paarl Royals earlier this month. We are expecting the 28-year-old pacer to be among the wickets in Lahore. He has faced the Kiwis just twice in ODIS, but will be eager to add to his tally of 1 wicket against them.
Matt Henry to be New Zealand’s top bowler
Matt Henry started the series in brilliant fashion, taking 3 wickets on a batting-friendly wicket. The pacer came into the tournament after taking 9 wickets against Sri Lanka in the 3-match ODI series at home. We’re expecting the 33-year-old to trouble South Africa’s inexperienced batting line-up.
