There will be a tough competition between South Africa and New Zealand

Both South Africa and New Zealand teams are known for their excellent play. The special thing is that New Zealand has never defeated South Africa in the T20 World Cup. But South Africa has never defeated New Zealand in any ICC knock out match. It is clear that there is going to be a tough competition between the two teams. However, the South African team has shown a very good performance in this T20 World Cup. This team has not lost a single match till now. South Africa has also defeated Team India. In such a situation, this team seems to be the contender for victory in this match.
