The Second ODI match of the tri-series started between South Africa and New Zealand. New Zealand's decision to choose to bowl first is not too good because If South Africa's batsman scores 300 plus runs, then it will be very difficult for New Zealand to win it. South Africa current score is 100 runs just loss of single wicket in 21 overs of the first inning. Matthew Breetzke is playing debut match scoring 45 runs while Jason Smith is playing at 25 runs. Matthew Breetzke very close his well deserved median half century. Temba Bavuma is out after scoring 20 runs. from New Zealand, Will O'Rourke is the only successful bowler who picked the wicket of Temba Bavuma. New Zealand needs to break the partnerships between Matthew Breetzke and Jason Smith if they want to come back in this match.
Opener Matthew Breetzke has been at the crease for a long time. Matthew Breetzke is batting very carefully. Matthew Breetzke is unbeaten on 58 runs from 82 balls. Matthew Breetzke is batting at a strike rate of just 70. Besides, Jason Smith has been out after scoring 41 runs from 51 balls.
So far, New Zealand's bowlers have been doing quite well. Each bowler's bowling is very controlled. Ben Sears has given away only 16 runs in 5 overs and Matt Henry has given away only 18 runs in 5 overs. South Africa has managed to score 138 runs in 29 overs. I would say that the match is under New Zealand's control so far.
