Stand-in New Zealand skipper Tom Latham on Tuesday called on his world-class bowlers to be proactive and understand the match-ups ahead of their crucial World Cup clash against a rampaging South Africa in Pune. It will be a battle between two formidable batting units when South Africa and New Zealand, who are currently at the second and third spots respectively, face off at the MCA stadium here on Wednesday. "Yeah, I think it's just recognising situations as best you can and trying to be proactive as much as we can as well from a bowling point of view and I guess from a field placement point of view as well," Latham said during the pre-match press conference.
New Zealand captain Tom Latham expects fast bowler Lockie Ferguson to be available for Wednesday's World Cup clash with South Africa but Kane Williamson and Mark Chapman remain doubtful for the match in Pune.
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)
