NEW DELHI: After a two-match losing run, New Zealand will be a little anxious to return to winning ways as they take on South Africa in Pune on Wednesday, with the race to the semi-finals in the ICC World Cup moving closer to the home straight.
The BlackCaps lost to hosts India before facing a narrow defeat in the high-scoring thriller against Australia in their last two matches. However, the New Zealanders stay in the top-four bracket on the points table, courtesy the four straight wins to start their campaign. But with the point-gap in the top half of the leaderboard closing, the Kiwis can't leave it for too late.
