New Zealand and South Africa will play each other in the second match of the ongoing ODI Tri-Nation Series in Pakistan. The game will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on February 10, at 10:00 AM (IST). It will be a crucial game for both teams to increase their chances in the ongoing series.
New Zealand have won and lost two games each, alongside a ‘no-result’ game in their last five games. They are coming off a massive 140-run defeat against Sri Lanka in the last game. However, they defeated the Islanders by 2-1 in the three-match ODI series.
On the other hand, South Africa have been through a dismal run of form in the last five ODIs they have played. They have faced four defeats, alongside only one win in the last five games.
With that said, here we’ll look at the top 3 batters from South Africa vs New Zealand second game of the Tri-Nation ODI series.
Will Young
The star New Zealand opener Will Young has been in brilliant batting form in the last nine ODI games. He has scored 456 runs with a brilliant batting average of 65.14 and a strike rate of 93.63. Young is also the leading run-scorer for his side in the last 10 ODI games.
Will Young failed to live up to the expectations in the first game against Pakistan but still, he can make a strong comeback with the bat in the upcoming clash against South Africa. So, he could be there in the list of top 3 batters from the NZ vs SA game.
Heinrich Klaasen
The star South Africa batter Heinrich Klaasen has scored runs with an amazing approach in the last four ODI appearances. He has scored 285 runs in four matches, with an outstanding average of 71.25. He has been one of the top performers with the bat for the Proteas in the last couple of ODIs.
Klaasen has scored these 285 runs in four matches with a brilliant batting strike rate of 120.76; he can also make it to the top 3 performers with the bat in the second game of the ODI Tri-Nation Series between South Africa and New Zealand.
Mark Chapman
New Zealand’s Mark Chapman might make it to the playing XI of the Kiwi side in the next game against Temba Bavuma’s men. He has scored 274 runs in 10 matches, with an average of 39.14. He can play a crucial role with the bat while batting in the middle order, adding some important runs to help New Zealand post a big total.
Chapman might also be a good fit in the XI owing to his ability to acclimatize with batting-friendly tracks in Pakistan. The 30-year-old will also be there in the list of ‘top 3 batters’ in the NZ vs SA game.
