New Zealand vs South Africa 3rd ODI : Preview

 

   The series between South Africa and New Zealand have leveled in the 2 matches played. The major attraction of cricket fans was in the Ashes 2015 & the India-Srilanka test series due to retirement of two great players over the history Michael Clarke & Kumar Sangakara. The series have done well but in both the team there were many flops. In the South African team middle order batsmen David Wiese was not at all impressive in any of the match as well as the opener Morne van Wyk. In the New Zealand side Luke Ronchi has not done great with bat like he did behind the stumps.


     The South African team will look for the win in order to win the series. They have Kyle Abbott as the only bowler who havent played from the team. He will likely be playing the 3rd and final ODI. Dean Elgar will likely be playing the 3rd ODI as well in place of David Wiese. Dean Elgar will be playing an ODI since 2012.

Probable Playing XI :-

1. Morne van Wyk (wk)
2. Hashim Amla
3. Rilee Russouw
4. Ab de Villiers (c)

    The New Zealand have one of the greatest strength which is their batting line up which have remained consisted over a period of time. James Neesham who scored a quickfire 41 in the first ODI was dropped in the second ODI as the team tweaked the side. He will be likely returning to the side. Mitchell McChellagnan who was expensive in bowling was on bench will likely to be returning.
