NZ vs SA: Pitch Report
South Africa will be looking at Tabraiz Shamsi to replicate his performance against Pakistan. The field is ideal for batting and teams can have a strong total on the board. But the surface offers minimal assistance to spinners. If Ish Sodhi is brought in by New Zealand, he may end up becoming their secret weapon.
