And again! Another short ball over middle, James Neesham goes on the back foot and keeps it down on the off side.

FOUR! Goes through! A tad short and wide, there to be hit, Will Young reaches out and slaps it to the right of Keshav Maharaj at cover-point and the latter just doesn't get down low enough and the ball sneaks under the hands to go into the fence. 1000 ODI runs come up for Young and Maharaj puts up a hand in apology.

The ball goes off the outer half and low to the left of the second slip where Aiden Markram dives across and gobbles it up with both hands. Top catch and New Zealand lose a big wicket early on.

SIX! BOOM! What a way to end the innings by Aiden Markram! Just one ball is what this in-form batter need and James Neesham is furious at himself. This is banged in short around off, Markram gets across his stumps, gets inside the line and pulls it with disdain over the fine leg fence for a biggie. 18 runs come off the final over and South Africa finish with 357/4 on the board.

Aiden Markram comes now to face the final delivery of the innings.

OUT! TAKEN! Excellent composure shown by Daryl Mitchell in the deep! Full and wide outside off, David Miller tries to get under the ball and thump it wide of long off but just can't quite get the elevation. Mitchell runs to his right from long off and takes a very good catch just inside the ropes but the momentum is taking him over the ropes. Mitchell does brilliantly to just pop the ball back up in the air before he crosses the ropes and gets back in to take in on the second attempt which is also confirmed by the replays. End of a devastating knock by Miller.

SIX! Swung away for six more and David Miller brings up a fast and furious half-century! This is full and on the pads, Miller walks across the stumps and just flicks it off his legs over the fine leg fence for another maximum. The 350 is also up for South Africa now.

FOUR! Smashed away! Boult misses the perfect wide yorker by a couple of inches and it turns out to be a low full toss. David Miller makes room and creams it through extra cover for a boundary.

SIX! 'If it's in the V, it's in the trees.' This is the saying David Miller lives by and he is staying true to it. Too full outside off and in the hitting arc, Miller has a slight shimmy across off stump and heaves it well over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

Slower and shorter over middle and leg, Heinrich Klaasen helps it down to fine leg for a single.

Heinrich Klaasen is the new man in. Can he help South Africa finish on a high?

OUT! BOWLED'EM! 'You miss, I hit,' stuff from Tim Southee. Steams in and ends up bowling the off-cutter at just 116 clicks, on a good length around the top of off and this one turns back in off the deck. Rassie van der Dussen stays back in his crease and looks for the slog across the line but is completely undone by the lack of pace. The ball knocks over the top of middle and Rassie has to walk back after a stellar knock.

Too full on the legs, whipped away toward deep mid-wicket for only a single.

Sees Rassie van der Dussen backing way and fires in the full and wide one, too wide to reach and Rassie leaves it alone. No wide called by the umpire and that was just kissing the tramline.

Goes back to bowling it seam up and gets it right at the toes this time, David Miller flicks it away in front of mid-wicket for a single.

SIX! BANG! Six number 77 for South Africa in this World Cup and that is the record for most sixes by a team in a single World Cup. Fired in full and outside off, David Miller just hits through the line and thumps it over the wide long off fence for a maximum.

Wide! Right idea to fire it wide outside off but spills it beyond the tramline.

Starts from around the wicket, bowls it flatter and around leg, Rassie van der Dussen goes on the back foot and works it to deep square leg for a single.

Risky move by Tom Latham as he brings the part-time offie, Glenn Phillips back into the attack. Could it turn out to be rewarding though?

DROPPED! Another drop by Trent Boult! In the slot, outside off, Rassie van der Dussen stays still and thumps it down the ground towards long off.

Easily done and that will be HUNDRED for Rassie van der Dussen! Not an easy knock but van der Dussen has stuck at it and has now breached the three-figure mark.

Reaches out in front to pull this one to the left of short fine leg for a boundary before taking off his helmet and soaking in the applause.

A confident appeal for caught behind but it is turned down! Tom Latham and Mitchell Santner are convinced and they opt for the review. Pushed through, short and outside off, David Miller presses forward to defend this one on the off side but the ball keeps straight and zips past the outside edge. The ball passes close to the bat but there is nothing on UltraEdge. The on-field decision will stand and New Zealand lose their review.

Drifts on the pads, quicker through the air, Rassie van der Dussen turns this one away in front of square on the leg side for a single.

David Miller comes in at number 4 for South Africa. Also, New Zealand can now have 5 fielders outside the 30-yard circle until the end of the innings.

OUT! CAUGHT! Smart bowling from Tim Southee and Quinton de Kock has to walk back here. Southee bowls it pace off, a bit fuller and angles it well across the off stump. De Kock is made to stay back and really reach for it and as he looks to cut, de Kock loses control a bit and ends up just slicing the ball to the right of backward point. Glenn Phillips takes a sharp catch at a comfortable height to his right and de Kock departs after yet another sensational inning. Tim Southee has his first wicket of this World Cup.

Bump-ball! Switches to over the wicket and nails the yorker on off stump, Quinton de Kock tries to back away but has to jam it out. The ball takes the inside edge, goes on the bounce to hit the boot and pops straight up. Trent Boult pouches it easily and the umpires go upstairs to check for a catch. The replays clearly show that the ball bounced before hitting the boot.

Is that out? An appeal for a bump-catch against Quinton de Kock has been sent upstairs. The replays show that the ball bounced as it made contact with de Kock's boot before it lobbed towards Trent Boult and therefore, it will stay as NOT OUT!

Bowled from around the wicket, shorter and outside off, Rassie van der Dussen crunches it away to deep cover-point for a single.

Good length, around the top of middle, Quinton de Kock covers the line well and blocks it out.

DROPPED! Trent Boult makes a mess of that one and doesn't even get a hand on it. Slower one, pitched up around off stump, Rassie van der Dussen makes room and looks to slap it over covers but has to reach for it a bit. Rassie ends up toe-ending it over mid off where Boult runs back and makes the hard yards but gets himself in an awkward position, reaching for the ball with his weaker hand. Just the single then.

Nicely bowled! Rassie van der Dussen is early to move back past the leg stump and James Neesham cheekily follows him with a good-length delivery. Rassie can only defend it back to the bowler.

Oh, no! James Neesham has taken a blow on his right thumb and he is grimacing in pain. It is his bowling hand and New Zealand cannot afford to lose another bowling option here. Looks like the magic spray has done its job and Neesham is getting ready to bowl again.

Just not happening for New Zealand, James Neesham gets a body blow and then Mitchell Santner misses a regulation run out. Too full from Neesham on middle, Rassie van der Dussen makes room and powers the low full toss straight back at the bowler. Neesham looks to get his hands behind it but gets thudded around the right wrist or thumb and the ball deflects onto the off side. Quinton de Kock is halfway down the track looking for the single but van der Dussen sends him back late. De Kock leaves all hope of getting back as Santner fires in a throw but thankfully for de Kock, Santner misses his mark. Meanwhile, Neesham is left feeling the pain of van der Dussen's stroke.

Three runs are taken.

Drinks break! With 18 overs remaining in the innings, South Africa need to get a move on soon if they are to post a big total. Rassie van der Dussen is struggling with his timing and given that there is plenty of batting left in the shed, he needs to kick on and shift gears. New Zealand are doing a rather good job of keeping the runs in check despite not managing to pick up wickets. However, Matt Henry walked off with a hamstring issue and it is a headache for Tom Latham to find someone to complete his quota of 10 overs.

Fires this one yorker, down the middle, Quinton de Kock swings his bat and slaps the ball to mid-on hard.

Bowled back of a length outside off, Rassie van der Dussen hops and taps it in front of covers for a single.

FOUR! Streaky boundary!

Sees the batter make room and follows him with a full delivery, Quinton de Kock can only push it to short mid-wicket.

Floats it up now, full and a bit wide outside off, Quinton de Kock gives himself room by moving leg side and lofts it over cover. The man in the deep runs around to his left and keeps it to two.

The third umpire is called into action and the replays confirm that de Kock had hit this one onto the deck the deck before the ball flew towards Young.

Is that out? The bowler seems disinterested but the fielder looks confident and Quinton de Kock too looks like a man who isn't in any trouble.

A couple of slips in place, let's go...

We are just a few minutes away from the start of this highly-anticipated contest but first, the two sets of players along with their mascots line up for their respective national anthems. It will be the national anthem of South Africa first, followed by the national anthem of New Zealand.

South Africa's captain Temba Bavuma says that they would have batted first anyway. Adds that batting first suits their makeup as a team. Shares that the wicket is on the drier side but feels that the ball will skid on under lights. Hopes that they can put up a good total and put New Zealand under pressure. Informs that Kagiso Rabada comes back in place of Tabraiz Shamsi. States that is important to continue with the momentum and they have taken a lot of confidence from the last game. Further adds that it was not a clinical win but the character shown was pleasing to see. Mentions that today is another opportunity to execute their skills and they will rely on the experience of guys who have played earlier against New Zealand in ODI World Cups. Adds that New Zealand have smart guys and they will have to make sure that they are switched on in all aspects of the game.

Tom Latham, the captain of New Zealand says that they will bowl first. Says that it looks like a reasonably good surface and dew might come on later. Informs that they have a few injury concerns and Tim Southee comes in for Lockie Ferguson. Mentions that they have been on the wrong side in the past couple of games but have got a good few days of practice and are ready for the contest. Ends by saying that South Africa isn't a team against whom they have played much ODI cricket in recent times but they did play them in the warm-up before the tournament.

South Africa (Playing XI) - Quinton de Kock (WK), Temba Bavuma (C), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada (In for Tabraiz Shamsi), Lungi Ngidi.

New Zealand (Playing XI) - Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (C/WK), Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Tim Southee (In for Lockie Ferguson), Trent Boult.

TOSS - The flip of the coin lands in the favour of Tom Latham and New Zealand have opted to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Shaun Pollock is pitchside and he says that it is 33 degrees Celsius with a nice breeze blowing. Says that it is 62 meters and 67 meters on either side and low 70 meters straight. Adds that the breeze will come across the ground and make it easier to hit to the smaller side. Ricky Ponting joins him and says that it looks like a good wicket, nice and hard with some grass on it but it might be two-paced and will slow down later on. Mentions that in the last 6 D/N games, there has been an even split between teams batting first and second. Pollock ends by saying that there was seam movement in the evening.

After suffering a shock defeat against the Netherlands, the way South Africa have bounced back with three successive wins has proved that the loss was nothing but a minor blip. One of the major reasons for their success has been their batting unit's ability to rack up huge totals. Quinton de Kock has stood out, and he has found good support from Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen. In the absence of Kagiso Rabada, who missed the game against Pakistan due to lower back spasms, Marco Jansen filled the void with an impressive showing while Tabraiz Shamsi justified his selection with a four-wicket haul. It has been more than two decades since South Africa last got the better of New Zealand in ODI World Cups. Will they manage to break the jinx? Or will New Zealand extend their dominance? Stay tuned as the toss and team news is coming up shortly.

The runners-up of the 2019 edition, New Zealand started their campaign with four wins in as many games. However, their campaign has hit a roadblock with two straight defeats, and they will be eager to return to winning ways. With Kane Williamson yet to fully recover, Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra will be expected to continue the good work with the bat. After scoring an unbeaten hundred against England, Devon Conway has seen a dip in form in recent games and he is due for a big score. In the last outing against Australia, Lockie Ferguson could not bowl much due to a right Achilles niggle, and the Kiwi fans will be hoping that the speedster is fit enough to feature. The pairing of Trent Boult and Matt Henry were put under pressure by the Aussie openers in the previous encounter and they would want to put in an improved display with the new ball.

Hello and a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to our coverage of match number 32 of the 2023 ODI World Cup, which sees New Zealand take on South Africa. A blockbuster clash awaits us at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium between two high-quality teams that currently occupy two of the top three spots in the standings, and we expect it to be a tightly fought contest.
