New Zealand vs South Africa, Cricket World Cup Warm-Up Match Highlights: NZ Beat SA Challenge

...THE CHASE...

South Africa on the other hand looked very loose. The seamers got the swing early on and the spinners got it to turn but lacked consistency throughout the match. Aiden Markram used 9 bowlers but only Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen looked settled as both took three wickets each. A lot to work on before they jump on the main stage. Even their fielding looked well below-par. Time for their batters to do the work. They will have to chase down a huge score. Can South Africa do it?

New Zealand have scored 300-plus for successive games. Good preparation for them before the World Cup. Their batters are looking in top form. Apart from Young, their top five made a big impact. Kane Williamson wasn't sure to play this match but did well to gain his match fitness back and retire hurt later. So did Conway who scored a brilliant fifty. Latham and Glenn Phillips in the middle phase looked solid as well. Right now, it looks like New Zealand have all the boxes filled. They look solid with the bat but it is not up to the bowlers to defend this.
