Topmost Picks for SA vs NZ Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – South Africa

• Aiden Markram – He can be handy in the next match against the New Zealand side because they have around 4 left-hand players who can bowl against Markram.
• Gerald Coetzee– He has been amazing for the South African side, and the skiddy bowling will be useful on the skiddy surface of Pune. He has been taking wickets in every match. He took 12 wickets in 5 matches and also can hit some runs if needed.

Top Picks – New Zealand

• Rachin Ravindra – has been in sensational form with the bat in the World Cup, scoring 406 runs in six matches with an average of 81.20. He scored 116 runs against Australia in the last match to make it his second century.
• Trent Boult  – He had a decent last match, but he was quite expensive because Warner and Head smashed him for lots of runs. However, in the next match, he will have pitch assistance if he bowls first and can be the main wicket-taker for the New Zealand team.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for SA vs NZ Dream11 Team:

Quinton de Kock(C), Devon Conway(VC), Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Daryl Mitchell, Marco Jansen, Mitchell Santner, Rachin Ravindra, Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee, Trent Boult

SA vs NZ Probable Winners

Both of these teams have impressive wins in the tournament and have been involved in close games. There is also a chance that these two teams will meet in the competition’s final, and they both have more than enough talent to make it that far. Our prediction is that New Zealand will be able to keep up with South Africa’s aggressive batting and match them with the ball on Wednesday. We expect the game to go until the final overs, with South Africa winning by a narrow margin. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.
