South Africa team

The South Africa team is the team that has been playing at home for a long time and has a good record against New Zealand. They have lost their last three ODIs against New Zealand, but they are still the favourites to win this series.

South Africa will be playing at home in all matches which means they can expect some good support from their fans while playing in Johannesburg.

The Proteas also have an impressive record against New Zealand in ODIs, winning four out of five previous encounters between these two sides. In T20s as well, South Africa have won 16 out of 18 games played between them since 2008 (including two wins each over Australia).

South Africa team news, updates, highlights and reaction.

South Africa is a cricket team that has been playing international matches since 1992. It is one of the best teams in the world, and it has won many awards for its performances. The country's cricket team was formed by English immigrants who came to South Africa as settlers after leaving England

during the British colonization of their country. They played their first match against Australia in 1879 at Port Elizabeth when they lost by an innings margin but this was only one game out of many more games that followed over the next few years until 1889 when England sent a team to play against them again but lost this time too!

However there were still some good players from these two countries who joined together under one name: "South Africa". This new team became known as 'The Springboks' which means "the blacks" because most people thought they were black people from southern India or even Ethiopia!

South Africa's Quinton de Kock has been named as the ICC's Men's T20I Player of the Decade.

The 32-year-old batsman scored 2,924 runs in 75 matches at an average of 34.50, taking him to second on South Africa’s all-time list behind AB de Villiers (3240). De Kock’s consistency in limited-overs cricket was recognized by his peers and fans alike – he was selected as one of six nominees for ICC World XI members – but it wasn't until this year that he finally claimed the coveted prize after being nominated alongside compatriot JP Duminy and India's Virat Kohli.

Dean Elgar says he can hold no grudges towards Lockie Ferguson for the beamer that struck him on the helmet in the first T20I, but also suggested there should be no place for such deliveries in cricket.

"If it was a choice between me and him, I'd probably have to go with him," said Elgar when asked if he would prefer playing on pitches where he could not be hit by any balls or batsmen were prevented from using helmets or other protective gear.

"If we want our sport to grow then we need people like Lockie who are willing to try new things," he added.

South Africa coach Mark Boucher has defended his side's decision to train on Thursday morning despite rain delaying the start of play in the second T20I against New Zealand.

The South African team has defended its decision to train on Thursday morning despite rain delaying the start of play in the second T20I against New Zealand.

The Proteas have trained in Johannesburg since Wednesday night and Boucher said they were ready for any eventuality.

"We had done a lot of preparation," he told reporters after Saturday's training session."It's not ideal but we'll go out there and hope that it doesn't rain tomorrow."

South Africa, who lost the series opener to New Zealand on Monday, will aim to hit back in Napier. However, they will have to do so without Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje who have been ruled out with injuries. Andile Phehlukwayo is also out of contention with a shoulder concern while Dwaine Pretorius will miss out because of a hamstring strain and Tabraiz Shamsi is also unavailable because of a knee problem.
