It is expected to be a tough match between New Zealand and South Africa as both the teams have many match winners and world class players. However, the playing 11 will be selected keeping in mind who will be helped by the Pune pitch. This will be something to see. So let us tell you who will benefit from the Pune pitch.

How does the MCA Stadium pitch play?

The pitch of Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium has been providing a lot of help to the batsmen. In the seven matches played here before the World Cup , scores of more than 300 were scored five times. Twice more than 300 targets were chased. Whereas, if we talk about World Cup 2023, the teams batting first could not score big. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka failed to score big as expected.

Toss will be important

The team winning the toss between New Zealand and Proteas will prefer to bat first. This pitch is going to be great for 100 overs. If the team batting first plays well then it will be able to score more than 300. If the weather cools down a bit in the evening, the bowlers are expected to get help. If there is less hope of dew here, the team batting in the second innings may face problems.

The goal will be victory

South Africa has registered five wins in 6 matches so far in the World Cup 2023. The Proteas team led by Temba Bavuma is ranked second in the points table. At the same time, New Zealand team is stuck at third place with four wins in 6 matches. Both teams would like nothing less than victory to reach the semi-finals. One win or loss from here can spoil the entire equation.
