The second match of the ongoing ODI Tri-Series in Pakistan will witness New Zealand locking horns with South Africa. The Black Caps have already made a strong start to the tournament, securing a convincing 78-run victory over the hosts in the opening encounter.
With momentum on their side, New Zealand will aim to continue their winning run and strengthen their position in the series. Their batting and bowling units performed well in the previous game, and they will be eager to replicate that success against a fresh South African side.
Meanwhile, this will be South Africa’s first match of the competition, and expectations will be high from the Proteas. They will be looking to begin their campaign on a strong note and gain early points in the Tri-Series. With a talented squad at their disposal, South Africa will be keen to put up a competitive performance and challenge the in-form New Zealand team.
The surface at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium is typically on the slower side, providing significant assistance to spinners while offering minimal bounce for fast bowlers. As the game progresses, dew could come into play during the latter stages, posing challenges for bowlers.
