New Zealand will take on South Africa in the 32nd match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on November 1 at the MCA Stadium in Pune.
Their last match against Australia was a nail-biter, where they narrowly missed a record-breaking chase by just five runs. This loss has added to their woes as they now have consecutive defeats.
Skipper Tom Latham, taking the reins in the absence of the injured Kane Williamson, faces the challenge of boosting the team's morale. The priority is to put the disappointments of the past matches behind them and refocus on winning the upcoming games. Securing victory in the next match is crucial as it would not only end their losing streak but also bring them a step closer to qualifying for the semifinals.

The South African tailenders displayed remarkable composure and determination, ultimately guiding their team to an exhilarating win.
This crucial victory has put South Africa in a promising position in the tournament. A win in their upcoming game would secure their place in the semifinals and Bavuma will be undoubtedly eager for his side to maintain the momentum gained from their recent success and, if possible, reclaim the top spot on the points table.
