Predicting top 3 bowlers from South Africa vs New Zealand 2nd ODI from Tri-series

Both teams will play each other in this game at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on February 10, at 10:00 PM (IST). Both teams will be eyeing winning this match to strengthen their preparations upcoming Champions Trophy 2025.

South Africa has been through a horrific run of form in the last five ODIs, losing four games while winning only one. They also lost the three-match home ODI series against Pakistan by a miserable margin of 0-3. The Proteas will aim to win this game and end their losing streak in the ODI format.

On the other hand, New Zealand have won two games while losing two, alongside a game without any result in their last five games. They are coming off a 2-1 series win against Sri Lanka in the three-match ODI series last month.

Jacob Duffy

New Zealand might include the right-arm pacer Jacob Duffy in their playing XI for the next game against South Africa. Duffy has been one of the consistent performers with the ball for his side in the ODIs. He can produce some impactful overs with the new ball during the powerplay phase.

Duffy has scalped 11 wickets in 7 innings, with a decent bowling economy rate of 5.48 and he is one of the leading wicket-takers for New Zealand in the last couple of ODI appearances. He is also expected to end up being one of the ‘top three’ performers with the ball for the Blackcaps in the next clash against SA.

Matt Henry

The veteran Kiwi pacer Matt Henry is enjoying an amazing run of form with the ball in the last 3 ODI appearances. He has scalped 9 wickets in these three games, with an excellent economy rate of 3.72 and a decent bowling strike rate of 16.66. Henry is one of the experienced bowlers in the Blackcaps’ bowling attack.

The 33-year-old has been one of the consistent performers for the Blackcaps in the last couple of ODI appearances. So, he can also make it to the ‘top 3 bowlers’ in the New Zealand vs South Africa game.

Wiaan Mulder

South Africa’s Wiaan Mulder has been one of the very few ‘good performers with the ball’ amidst the team’s dismal run of form in the last five ODIs. Notably, the Proteas lost by 0-3 to Pakistan in the three-match home ODI series.

Meanwhile, Wiaan Mulder has scalped 3 wickets in the last six games, with a decent bowling economy rate of 6.68. He can also be counted to be one of the ‘top 3’ bowlers in the upcoming Tri-Nation Series game against South Africa.
