One side endured the agony of a close defeat and other felt the ecstacy of victory in a rip-roaring game but when New Zealand and South Africa clash in a World Cup game in Pune on Wednesday both will start on an even keel. The current edition of World Cup has featured mostly lopsided games but if the two games stood out, one certainly was South Africa's one-wicket win against Pakistan in Chennai and New Zealand nearly pulled off a sensational chase of 388 against Australia before finishing five runs short.
New Zealand enters the upcoming match against South Africa on the heels of a closely-fought five-run loss to Australia. While the Kiwis remain in the race for the knockout stage, a victory against the Proteas would solidify their position. The team, led by Tom Latham, currently holds the third spot in the ICC Cricket World Cup standings with eight points from six matches. On the other hand, South Africa, coming off a thrilling one-run victory over Pakistan, has climbed to the second position with 10 points from six games. A win against New Zealand would propel them to the top of the points table. (World Cup 2023 points table)
