You are forgetting one thing that South African team often choke under chase pressure. By winning the toss and choosing to field first might not be a good decision, only the time will tell. At the moment, South Africa is going good, they are over 150 at the lose of 1 wicket after 29 overs and they have power hitters still to come, the pitch is doing nothing after first power play. South Africa will be looking to a target of over 350 after this partnership.
The target of over 350 will be difficult to chase keeping in mind the South African bowling attack. South Africa win will keep the tournament alive for some time.

I was quite surprised with the fact that after winning the toss New Zealand chose to bat. With South African batsmen being in such splendid form, what is the point in allowing them to bat first? It was a big blunder and now South Africa looks set for a target of 350 or well above that. Temba Bavuma is the only Protean batsmen who is not in form and he got out for a small score today as well. But after that the game was completely dominated by Rassie van der Dussen and Quinton de Kock. And they still have Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller down the order.

New Zealand are bowling first after winning the toss. Tim Southee comes in for Lockie Ferguson. Kagiso Rabada replaces Tabraiz Shamsi. NewZealand won toss and elected to bowl first. Both team 1 changes in the playing XI for both New Zealand and South Africa. South Africa Kagiso Rabada replaces Tabraiz Shamsi and from Tim Southee takes the place of Lockie Ferguson. I think South Africa will score 400 runs if the openiors partnership is successful

I do not think so that in today's match South Africa squad successfully will made a 400 score defending target because their opponent squad also very strong team New Zealand. It was a right decision of New Zealand squad to won toss and invite South Africa squad come in crease and start batting inning. New Zealand bowler Trent Boult has picked up the wicket of South Africa's leader Temba Buvama. This batter got out after making 24 scores and then finished. Currently, two big and powerful batter is playing in crease and if these batters will not catch up by any bowler of New Zealand squad then South Africa squad set a 300 plus score defending target to New Zealand.

Quinton de Kock reaches his fifty, and South Africa crosses the 100-run mark in the 21st over in Pune. The South African skipper is experiencing a tough outing with the bat in the ongoing World Cup so far did not scored 16, 8 24, and 28 so far poor batting perform. South Africa present scored 155/1 runs in 30th Overs and its difficult to cross 350 at that moment. 50 for Van der Dussen. I think he score a century. if De Kock and Var der Dussen big partnership more than 150 + then may be South Africa end up with 350+ runs

In the match of South Africa vs New Zealand, South Africa batted brilliantly. South Africa's opening pair got off to a great start. But South African captain Bavuma was dismissed by New Zealand's Trent Boult. South Africa lost one wicket for eight thirty runs and then New Zealand bowlers could not take South Africa's wickets. South Africa did not have much problem with this. De Kock and Ven der Dussen's partnership developed very nicely. De Kock scored 78 off 89 balls and Ven der Dussen scored 59 off 75 balls. South Africa's current score is 189 runs for one wicket in 34 overs. South Africa's current state of play looks like they might score 370 plus runs.

[Sithara007]

South Africa at 194/1 after 35 overs. Quinton de Kock has got to 94. Both him and Rassie van der Dussen have been a bit slow till now, which I hope will change in the next few overs. If they want to get to a target in the vicinity of 350, then they need to start attacking now. BTW there is bad news for New Zealand. Looks like James Neesham has suffered an injury to his finger. Mitchell Santner and Trent Boult have kept things tight from the other hand, as they have bowled in a very tight line and length till now. South Africa need to work hard, in order to get to 350.

And now they made 230 runs in 39 overs. It means in 4 overs they made 36 runs. And now the party will start South Africa always play fast in last overs and I think they will easily touch the 350 runs. Quinton de Kock out while typing. David Miller is a good player too. Now they will play fast. 350 runs target will be enough for New Zealand team if South Africa will make. By the way no one can say what happen so let's see.

De Kock and Van Der Dussen's excellent performance set the South Africa team a huge target of 358 runs. David Miller's innings of 53 off 30 balls was also very effective. South Africa team collected 357 runs losing only 4 wickets. At the end of 35 overs, South Africa's collection was 194 runs. The team collected 163 runs in the last 15 overs. They have collected around 11 runs in each over in the last 15 overs. Apart from Boult and Santner, none of the New Zealand bowlers were in control today. However, New Zealand's batsmen are in good form. So despite giving a huge target of 358 runs, it cannot be said that the South African team will win.

[rojan]

South Africa set a target of 358 runs to New Zealand after completing 50 overs in the first innings of today's match. I think, in this match, the excellent performance of South Africa team batsmen has given New Zealand team a good target. Double centuries by two batsmen of the South African team were able to give the New Zealand team a big target. But on the other hand, the opposing team, New Zealand, is no less than the South African team. The New Zealand team also has many skilled batsmen. It is yet to be said how well the New Zealand team will perform in the second innings. But when the game of the second innings starts, it will be understood how well the New Zealand team can bat against South Africa in today's match. If the South African team can strengthen the bowling lineup of the second innings. Then surely South Africa can win the match against New Zealand. If the South African team wins this match today, then the South African team will be at the top of the points table. Now let's see what happens in the end

But South African captain Bavuma was dismissed by New Zealand's Trent Boult. South Africa lost one wicket for eight thirty runs and then New Zealand bowlers could not take South Africa's wickets. South Africa did not have much problem with this.

Bavuma is struggling through out the tournament. he is not so good with the bat while rest of player is performing very well including Dekock, Markram, Dussen, Miller and Klasen. He is not big hitter of the ball but one thing I noticed today that he is so smart to find the gap for boundaries and I think he has given good opportunity to prove that but not succeeded.

De Kock and Ven der Dussen's partnership developed very nicely. De Kock scored 78 off 89 balls and Ven der Dussen scored 59 off 75 balls. South Africa's current score is 189 runs for one wicket in 34 overs. South Africa's current state of play looks like they might score 370 plus runs.

De Cock played a very good inining. at start he missed so many ball but later he hit so many boundaries. Dussen inining was top one and what a knock by miller to finish the game. now South Africa has very good total but pitch report says that it will be easy for ball to come under the bat in second inining which is the reason NZ took risk by bowling first despite of good record of SA in the first inining.

De Kock and Van der Dussen are bossing the match right both batters scored century. the NewZealand bowlers managed to take only 1 wicket in the first 30 overs, after choosing to bowl first. South Africa scored 202 runs for the last 20 overs. Centuries from Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, and David Millers strong finish have propelled South Africa to post another 358 target for NewZealand in this world cup. New Zealand habe 50% chnaces to chase this target down on a batting-friendly pitch

If the South African team wins this match today, then the South African team will be at the top of the points table. Now let's see what happens in the end

In the current situation, South Africa has more chances to win than New Zealand. The sad thing for New Zealand is that Kane Williamson is also not playing today’s match because he is injured, and i am sure, New Zealand will be missing him today in this chase. I think India is not for Kane Williamson to play because in IPL, he was injured and after that, he can’t come to play, whenever he after injury in IPL, he is injured again and again.
Just a new wicket hit from New Zealand. The three wickets are down. Rachin Ravindra is also out. He is one of the best batting all-rounders but he can’t play a big innings against South Africa.

South Africa has done a good job and It's really decent target for South African bowling side to defend no doubt such Pune vanue are in favour of chasing team from previous two matches like ban vs India and afg vs sirilanka where both chasing team won without any trouble, so as a Paksitani cricket fan I will love South Africa to change history of this venue and won the game which will help paksitan to be alive in world cup points table.
Now NewZeland lose his three most important wicket in early stage of the game which will definitely execute pressure on lower order because mostly thier top order make runs but now things are totally dependent on lower order and I can say that if they get one more wicket then south Africa will be winner

[noormcs5]

I will love South Africa to change history of this venue and won the game which will help paksitan to be alive in world cup points table.

Well a loss for New Zealand will not only open doors for Pakistan but it may open chances for other teams as well, Afghanistan in particular.
As it seems that New Zealand's grip is very low in this match and hence they may lose, the other teams will be keen to see the new equations and how they can qualify for the Semi finals.

For NewZealand's point of view, it may be difficult to win this match but they can control the damage by playing the full 50 overs and making as many runs as possible. I am saying this because the run rate will matter a lot in the later stage of this World Cup and the more they can score and lose by less margin, they won't lose much on the run rate.

Apart from the batsmen, South Africa's bowlers also got off to a good start. Batting with a target of 358 runs, the New Zealand players were naturally under pressure. The New Zealand team is going to lose badly as a result of the bad batting of New Zealand's top order. New Zealand have just lost their sixth batsman. And New Zealand collected only 100 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. The team needs 258 more runs. And it will not be possible for them to do it. New Zealand are going to lose by a big margin today. And if they lose today's match, it will be New Zealand's third defeat in a row. Qualifying for the semi-finals is now going to be tough for New Zealand.

Just a new wicket hit from New Zealand. The three wickets are down. Rachin Ravindra is also out. He is one of the best batting all-rounders but he can’t play a big innings against South Africa.

Currently New Zealand score is about 100 and its running 23 over and they have already lose their 6 wicket.  So  New Zealand is on a very under pressure by South African bowlers.  The required run rate is about 9.6 and their current run rate is only about 4.28. In my opinion, South Africa will definitely win this match. Although I had a different thought before the start of the match, it may have been their weakness due to the absence of some important players from the South African team.
South African bowlers almost all are bowling very well. Almost everyone's econ is in good position.And if I talk about New Zealand team then the way the New Zealand team is batting today, I don't think the New Zealand team will be able to cross 200 runs. I really don't understand that the New Zealand team Previous has been downplaying their performance for two matches. If they lose this match, they will lose three matches in a row.

[jasonjm]

New Zealand is almost out of the game. They are currently 8 wickets down at 110 and need another 248 runs. They are losing by a huge margin, and this will make a dent in their run rate. Now, I think other teams have a chance to qualify for the semi-final after this defeat, obviously, with a lot of conditions/scenarios. The next game between New Zealand and Pakistan will be a high-octane game at Bengaluru.
Not a very good decision to field first by the New Zealand captain; everyone knows that SA is not good at chasing big targets, but I don't know what the captain was thinking.

Very bad performance by the New Zealand team and now definitely South Africa has confirmed it's spot for the semifinal I was not expecting that kind of performance from New Zealand. Keshav Maharaj on fire at this time got 4 wickets of New Zealand team. Marco Jansen also got 3 wickets. Excellent performance by South Africa. And advance Congratulations to South Africa.

New Zealand has bowled out for 167, and South Africa won by 190 runs.

South Africa is one of the top contenders in this World Cup. They've shown that consistently setting a target and then defending it is a winning strategy. Quinton de Kock has been in excellent form, and their bowlers have been impressive throughout the tournament. Unfortunately, New Zealand team let us down our hopes with their batting performance. While Glenn Phillips made a commendable individual effort, it wasn't enough to save New Zealand from a disappointing batting display against South Africa.

[Compromise me]

New Zealand are bowling first after winning the toss. Tim Southee comes in for Lockie Ferguson. Kagiso Rabada replaces Tabraiz Shamsi. NewZealand won toss and elected to bowl first. Both team 1 changes in the playing XI for both New Zealand and South Africa. South Africa Kagiso Rabada replaces Tabraiz Shamsi and from Tim Southee takes the place of Lockie Ferguson. I think South Africa will score 400 runs if the openiors partnership is successful

I do not think so that in today's match South Africa squad successfully will made a 400 score defending target because their opponent squad also very strong team New Zealand. It was a right decision of New Zealand squad to won toss and invite South Africa squad come in crease and start batting inning. New Zealand bowler Trent Boult has picked up the wicket of South Africa's leader Temba Buvama. This batter got out after making 24 scores and then finished. Currently, two big and powerful batter is playing in crease and if these batters will not catch up by any bowler of New Zealand squad then South Africa squad set a 300 plus score defending target to New Zealand.

South Africa gave a target of 358 runs to New Zealand in the 32nd match of World Cup.South Africa played very well especially De kock and Van der dussen.De kock made excellent 114 runs in just 116 balls and Van der dussen performed 133 runs in only 118 balls. These two players well  contributed in this match to stand a big score ,these players are in good form and South African team is present on the 2nd number in points table of World Cup and After winning this match, South African team will be at the top of points table.This is not small target and New Zealand score is 36 with fall of 1 wicket in 7.2 overs.Zew Zealand played excellent in last match but lose due to bad luck.

Another comfortable victory for South Africa by 190 runs in this world cup and place in top of the table. South African bowlers put up an outstanding performance with the ball to outclass wob by 190 runs against New Zealand in Pune. i think New Zealand have only to blame themselves. South Africa have completely outclassed New Zealand today with the bat and ball. Centuries from De kia and Rassie de van Dussen played an excellent knock 133(118) then Jansen and Maharaj did the rest. A lesson for every team in this World Cup Never ask South Africa to bat first after winning the toss.

There is the tough competition in between India squad and South Africa squad both teams show brilliance performances in all previous matches which they played. In today's match, Sounth Africa won this match due to thrilling performance of one of the opener batter Quinton de Kockand Rassie van der Dussen.
