Strangely, they had named just two players as substitutes at the start of the game, as reported by <em>Cricbuzz<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa, led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/temba-bavuma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Temba Bavuma<\/a>, are fielding a relatively fresh side in the match, with most of their regular players participating in the SA20. They had named six uncapped players in their 12-man squad for the game against New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Keshav Maharaj and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/heinrich-klaasen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Heinrich Klaasen<\/a>, two of their stalwarts in white-ball cricket, are expected to join up with the squad ahead of their next game, which is against Pakistan on Wednesday, February 12.<\/p>\n<h2>South Africa struggling to defend 304 against New Zealand in the 2nd ODI<\/h2>\n<p>South Africa are struggling to defend their total of 3014 against New Zealand in the ongoing second ODI. Having batted first, the Proteas ran up a decent total of 304-6 in their quota of 50 overs, largely thanks to Matthew Breetzke&#8217;s 150.<\/p>\n<p>In reply, New Zealand were 264-4 in 41 overs at the time of writing, needing just 41 runs to win the game. Star batter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/ks-williamson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Kane Williamson<\/a> was unbeaten on 112 while opener Devon Conway had departed for a well-made 97.<\/p>\n<p>Though the Proteas are playing a second-string side, the selectors have named a full-strength squad for the upcoming 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, which will be played in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates from February 19. South Africa play their first game, against Afghanistan on February 21 in Karachi.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline bottom\" data-tab=\"bottom\">\n<p>Looking for <strong>fast live cricket scores<\/strong>?
