New Zealand take on South Africa in the 32nd match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Wednesday, November 1, at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) stadium in Pune. The match is set to begin at 2:00 PM IST. South Africa are second in the points table, collecting 10 points from six games. They have won all their games so far, except the match-up against the Netherlands, where were defeated by 38 runs. The Proteas have won three matches on the trot since the defeat against the Netherlands. Their most recent win came versus Pakistan in thrilling circumstances. Chasing 270, the Temba Bavuma-led side took the game to the wire to register a narrow one-wicket victory. Aiden Markram's steady 93-ball 91 laid the foundation for the win.

Their close five-run loss to Australia in the previous match has impacted their position in the points table. Previously the table-toppers, the Kiwis are now placed third in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 standings with eight points from six matches. (World Cup 2023 points table)
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)
Suryakumar Yadav is an antithesis to what proverbial Mumbai school of batsmanship is all about -- dollops of doggedness in a fine mixture of style and class. Style and class has never been a problem with 'SKY'. He has given ample display of that in T20 cricket, a format he has bossed with remarkable ease. However some of his low scores in ODIs did raise questions if he is unable to blend a bit of serenity in his all or nothing approach, which is perfectly in sync with T20s but not the 50-over format.
