The second T20 international between New Zealand and South Africa will be played at Seddon Park, Hamilton, on March 17, Tuesday. The exciting series that just begun after the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, is a five-match rubber in New Zealand. Both teams, especially South Africa, are playing with youngsters.
Led by Keshav Maharaj, the Proteas won the opening game after a terrific bowling display. Nqobani Mokoena, 19-year-old pacer, bagged three wickets to become the Man of the Match as the Kiwis got out for just 91. Connor Esterhuizen made 45* to see South Africa go over the line. However, youngster Jordan Hermann is ruled out of the entire series after suffering a right hamstring injury
