With four debutants in the squad, the South Africa national cricket team faces a tough test against an experienced New Zealand national cricket team.
Temba Bavuma (SA Captain at Toss): “With the new faces we have, good opportunity for them to show what they can do at this level. Our real preparation (for CT) will start once all the guys are here. We’ll have to make good use of what we have. Always exciting to see new faces. You want to see how they play at this level. We would have bowled as well as it might swing upfront. Hopefully we can take care of it, get through that and get to a position where we can put a nice, good score on the board.”
