A for Agony, B for Bizarre, C for Crunch moments, and D for Death, Group D of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup has already delivered high drama, and the excitement continues as South Africa take on New Zealand in Match No. 24. The clash scheduled for tonight is at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Historically, the Kiwis have enjoyed the upper hand, winning four of their last five T20I meetings against the Proteas.
New Zealand have looked in outstanding touch throughout the tournament so far. They began their campaign with a commanding victory over Afghanistan in Chennai and followed it up with an impressive chase against the United Arab Emirates. Under the leadership of Mitchell Santner, the side appears balanced and confident. A win in this fixture would seal their qualification for the Super Eights, with one group-stage match still to play, a position they would gladly secure.
