A clash deeply rooted in respect and fierce competition

THERE is a lot that the Proteas have in common with the Blackcaps.

Both teams are loved and cherished worldwide because they are known for putting respect and fair play at the core of their values.As a result, the ICC T20 World Cup clash between South Africa and New Zealand in Ahmedabad today will be one between the “good guys” of world cricket.

Make no mistake, the contest on the field will be fierce, and both teams will fight tooth and nail to get a victory. However, off the field, the characters in both teams suggest that, regardless of the result, both teams will shake hands, share smiles and perhaps a drink and a conversation.
