In this exciting tri series, New Zealand seems to be a very changing team, in fact, they have been able to win two consecutive matches. They have already won against Pakistan and even against South Africa. In this series, the New Zealand team won two matches as they reached the final match. Ken Williamson did the most important performance against Pakistan in the first match, and Ken Williamson is the most important performance against South Africa in today's match, this batsman currently is in a truly incredible form. The New Zealand team may be trying to complete their Champions League preparations well through these matches.
This is a very small series where each team will play against each other once. This means that New Zealand winning the two matches, have already qualified for the finals. Now we have just one match left between South Africa and Pakistan. It is like a semi final match for both the teams, as the team who wins this will play the final against New Zealand on Friday. Another thing to note is that the next match and the final will be played in a different city / stadium, hence it will be interesting to see how both the teams adapt to the new conditions.
If there were a few more matches in the series, especially if each team got a chance to play two matches against the other, the series would have been very competitive. But that was not the case. New Zealand is already preparing for the final due to the small number of matches, while Pakistan and South Africa are still uncertain about the final match. It will be difficult to predict who will play the final. Who would I keep ahead of these two teams? I think both teams are strong. However, those who get the chance to chase will probably be ahead in the match. Because even if they score 300 runs, there is no guarantee of winning the match.
