NZ vs SA Probable Winners:

So far, New Zealand has gone unbeaten in this tri-series, and they appear to be the tournament's most complete team. South Africa performed well against Zimbabwe but struggled to keep up with New Zealand in both games. The Proteas' batting lineup appears strong, but their bowling inexperience may cost them again in the final. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.
