New Zealand vs South Africa 2nd T20I Chance of Winning

New Zealand will have a better chance of beating South Africa in the second match of the Zimbabwe Twenty20 Tri-Series on Wednesday, July 16. South Africa have dominated New Zealand in the format recently, but theKiwis seem to have an upper handthis time.

In the first T20I against Zimbabwe, South Africa lost five wickets while chasing 142. The top three failed, and also Zimbabwe managed to post a decent target against a bowling unit which was expected to run riot. It will be a different ball game against New Zealand.There is experience and depth in the New Zealand squad. Spinners did well on the Harare surface on Monday, and New Zealand have three world-class spinners in their side - Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, and Ish Sodhi. The pace department also has three world-class bowlers in - Matt Henry, Adam Milne and William ORourke. The likes of Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Glenn Phillips, and Daryl Mitchell will take charge of the batting department. The reason why we are mentioning these names is because South Africa have travelled with a relatively inexperienced squad. The likes of David Miller, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, and Tabraiz Shamsi are not part of the squad.

New Zealand vs South Africa Betting Odds

New Zealand to score under 48.5 runs at end of six overs @ 1.91 (Batery Bet)

New Zealand have a strong opening pair in Tim Seifert and Devon Conway. While Seifert scored unbeaten 97 runs in his last T20I outing, Conway is a white-ball superstar. He has scored 1408 runs in 50 T20Is at an average of 38.05, and a strike rate of 127.76. The two players were recently part of the Major League Cricket 2025, and should not find it very difficult to adapt on the Harare surface. However,South Africa have a very strong bowling attack, and should manage to keep Conway and Seifert in check.Gerald Coetzee is also expected to feature in the second T20I after missing the first T20I, and that would further bolster the Proteas bowling unit. Lungi Ngidi will be taking charge with the new ball with him, and also the good form of George Linde should help South Africa to restrict New Zealand inside 49 runs in the first six overs.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

New Zealand

New Zealand are the favourites to beat South Africa in their upcoming match in the Zimbabwe Twenty20 Tri-Series. The Kiwis seem to breeze past the Proteas as they have far more experience and depth in their squad. The nature of the Harare pitch is also expected to help New Zealand, who have a plethora of world-class all-rounders in their side. New-look South Africa won their first match against Zimbabwe, but the top-order failed, and no batter in the top four could score with a 124-plus strike rate.

• New Zealand to win - 1.90 (Pari Match)
