Despite being aware of the risk that South Africa has been at establishing totals throughout the tournament, New Zealand made a bold decision to bowl first. Temba Bavuma had a good start, but he got caught at slip, so he was unable to build on it. It was not an easy pitch to bat on, and Rassie van der Dussen seemed obviously uncomfortable with the timing at the very start of the inning.
Even after that altercation, he was taking his time and established a strong rapport with Quinton de Kock; this ended up being their second 200-run partnership of the competition. In the middle of everything, each of them reached their own century. RvD had his second tournament tonne, while de Kock had his fourth
The best bowler was Trent Boult, who took a wicket early on and had a very good economy rate. NZ also had a couple opportunities, but they fell short in the field. David Miller scored a fast fifty to put the finishing touches on it. The Kiwis therefore had a difficult challenge in trying to track down such a huge 358 run total.
South Africa register yet another massive win in ODI World Cup 2023
In response, Jansen took Conway early on in the innings, and the New Zealander batters never appeared to be at ease dealing with the tall South African pacers with the new ball. Will Young, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips were the only ones who were able to score in double digits. This says a lot about the kind of performance by the South African bowlers
The Proteas pace trio dominated the opposing batter by applying tremendous pressure, delivering several dots, and picking significant wickets. Maharaj made certain to capitalise on this pressure by taking a couple key wickets and eliminating the tail as well.
In the end, Keshav Maharaj finished off with a four-fer to his name. Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee and Kagiso Rabada shared the remaining six wickets. It has been yet another emphatic victory for South Africa who move an inch closer to the semis.
