South Africa have already sealed the ODI series and will be eyeing to whitewash New Zealand when they face each other again on October 1 at the Kingsmead in Durban. Skipper Laura Wolvaardt is in remarkable form at the moment, while Nadine de Klerk and Masabata Marie Klaas have done the job with the ball. Hence, the Proteas will be confident of their chances to do well in the final game of the series.
When it comes to the visiting team, they would want to improve their batting. Amelia Kerr and Maddy Green looked positive so far while Hannah Rowe played a good knock towards the fag end in the last game. Despite that, the White Ferns could not get over the line in the last match. They will aim to get better and get the job done in the last match to end on a high note.
