Summary of this article
New Zealand welcome South Africa in the 2nd of a 5-match T20I series
The Kiwis lost by 7 wickets in the series opener
Proteas wanting to try out their experimental squad
New Zealand will be desperate for a Hamilton reset as they head into the 2nd T20I at Seddon Park, trailing 1-0 in the five-match series. The Black Caps are coming off a nightmare opener in Mount Maunganui, where they were bundled out for a meager 91.
This was their lowest-ever T20I total against South Africa. While Mitchell Santner's men look to level the series, they must find a way to navigate a disciplined young Proteas pace attack that dominated the powerplay just two days ago.
South Africa, led by Keshav Maharaj, arrive with soaring confidence. Their experimental squad has already made a statement, highlighted by 19-year-old Nqobani Mokoena’s sensational 3-wicket debut and Connor Esterhuizen’s calm, unbeaten 45 in the chase.
