New Zealand vs South Africa, ICC World Cup 2019: Key Proteas' players to watch out for
Faf du Plessis led South African cricket team will take on Kane Williamson’s Black Caps today, at Edgbaston cricket ground.
South Africa ranks eighth in the points table and has won just one out match in the tournament so far against Afghanistan. Faf du Plessis led South African cricket team has been struggling to make an impact in international cricket post the retirement of their stalwart cricketer, AB de Villiers. The team will look forward to register their second win today against the Black Caps. Let’s have a look at their key players in the match.
Imran Tahir- Being one of the most crucial bowlers for the team, he managed to claim 4 wickets in their previous game against Afghanistan. With his exceptional bowling, the team was able to restrict the Afghanistan batting line-up to a mere 125 runs. In his 7 overs, he picked up 4 wickets and gave only 29 runs with a bowling economy of only 4. 14. Even though the team lost the rest of the matches, Imran has been consistent with his performance and will play a major role in the team’s triumph.
Quinton de Kock- This South African opener has showcased his batting skills in several occasions. Against Afghanistan, he scored a solid 68 runs of 72 deliveries in a low scoring game, whereas against the hosts in the tournament’s opener, Quinton managed to put across 68 runs off 74 balls and gave the team a steady start.
