SA vs NZ 2nd T20I Expert Advice

South Africa will start out as favorites to defeat New Zealand in the second match of the Zimbabwe T20I tri-series 2025, considering the ‘Black Caps’ will play without the presence of several of their key players who featured in the recently-concluded MLC 2025 final in the USA. For South Africa, top-order batters like Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Reeza Hendricks and captain Rassie van der Dussen will be aiming to shrug off their recent setback against Zimbabwe. While fast bowlers like Nandre Burger and Lungi Ngidi delivered tight spells earlier this series, the two speedsters will be required to come up clutch with the new ball against New Zealand.

For New Zealand, Tim Seifert will start out as a primary in-form batter owing to his prolific run against Pakistan earlier this year. It is imperative for fast bowler Jacob Duffy and senior spinner Mitchell Santner to break South Africa’s batting line-up.
