KINGSMEAD, DURBAN After making very good come back in the 2nd odi against south africa,the visitors New Zealand is all set to play in the decider on wednesday.The kewis showed very good bowling and batting performance to win the match by 8-wickets.On the other hand South Africa is facing issues in their batting in the absence of faf du plesis and duminy.The hosts are trying to get their batting combination right but its not working as Morne van Wyk failing continuously in top order and david wiese struggling to do good at no.7 with bat.The difference between both the teams in these two odi was the performance of top order thats was the reason in the first odi the Hosts got just a 20 runs win while in the second odi they were thrashed by kewis by 8 wickets.The hosts will need with the likes of AB devilliers and inform Rilee Rossouw to play big innings here in the decider and kewis will be once again hoping for good start by Guptill and Inform Latham.Kane williamson although got start on all ocassions but failed to capatalised on.He will need to convert the start into big inning here now.The weather is expected to be warm and hot and there will be something for spinners.Pitch is also expected to be good for batting so once again there may good high scoring match here.
TEAM NEWS
South Africa played with two spinners in the last game which did not worked so they may be giving chance to Kyle Abbott here in his home ground.Morne van Wyk although performed very poorly but they dont have any choice here so he will get a chance once again opening for the hosts.
For Kewis Allrounder Jimmy Neesham yet to recover from his injury so he is unlikely to play here and they also think of adding one fast bowling option here in place one of the spinners.I would personally like to see Matt Henry playing.He is an speedy customer.and Mclenghan gave too many runs in matches he played so far in the tour.
PREDICTION
The kewis have momentum with them and proteas lacks in batting department.So iam backing them to upset the odds and win here by some good performance by the lower middle order of Colin munro,George Worker and Luke Ronchi.
NEW ZEALAND TO WIN!!
