Hendricks likely to make way for Ngidi

After having a lot of initial struggles, the Proteas found a win finally against Afghanistan in their previous match.

With Lungi Ngidi fit, it seems that the only change which will happen in the lineup is that of Ngidi coming in place of Beuran Hendricks. Other than this, Proteas are likely to stick to the same XI from the Afghanistan match.

Sodhi in reckoning once again

Ish Sodhi could be back in the reckoning as New Zealand may realize the vulnerability of the Proteas' batting line against leg-spin.

If Sodhi is brought back into the side, either Lockie Ferguson or Matt Henry will be dropped. At this time, Ferguson and Henry both are in some good form with the ball. Colin Munro could also make way for Henry Nicholls, who seems to have found full fitness after his injury.

Spinners could come into play as this is the first match at this ground for the World Cup. The wicket should be good for batting without any doubts. The pacers will swing the ball initially with the new ball. The weather forecast predicts some showers in the afternoon, but they might not harm the match too much.
