New Zealand vs South Africa Prediction: Who will win?
New Zealand have not faced a solid side in the 2019 CWC yet as their match against India was washed-out and against South Africa it will be their first huge test. In spite of the fact that structure is with New Zealand, South Africa may very well end up with two additional points in their kitty.
This will be the eighth World Cup experience between New Zealand and South Africa. New Zealand leads the no holds barred against South Africa in World Cups and have won five matches.
