World Cup 2023 Points Table Today: New Zealand and South Africa clashed in the 32nd match of the World Cup 2023 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. It was a critical game for both teams, but more so for New Zealand, who had lost two in a row after winning their first four matches.
In the absence of Kane Williamson, Tom Latham led New Zealand and he chose to bowl first after winning the toss. South Africa had previously posted huge scores batting first and the team repeated the same performance against New Zealand.
Quinton De Kock and Rassie van der Dussen scored centuries as South Africa posted a total of 357/4 in 50 overs. New Zealand had a big target in front of them, but succumbed to the pressure. The entire top order collapsed due to the sharp bowling of Marc Jansen, Keshav Maharaj and Gerald Coetzee.
Glenn Phillips was the top scorer for New Zealand, but the team’s performance fell far short of expectations, given that he topped the points table at one point. New Zealand were bowled out for 167 runs and South Africa won by a huge margin of 190 runs.
South Africa is now number 1 in the points table.
