The ground is favourable for batters in the second innings. The temperature is expected to be around 30 degrees celsius on the matchday with 82 per cent humidity and wind speed of 5 kilometres per hour. Besides, there are no chances of precipitation.
The surface of the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur is ideal for spinners and is close to cricket stadiums in New Zealand. No seam bowlers will have an added advantage. Chasing is the best decision here, and batters must score anything above 145 to 160 in the first innings to defend the chase.

Road Safety World Series 2022, New Zealand Legends vs South Africa Legends: Tournament till now
It would be the second match of South Africa’s campaign. In the first match, India Legends defeated them by 61 runs. While looking strong on paper, South Africa has not proven their mettle.
India Legends stand at the top of the table, with Sri Lanka Legends and West Indies Legends also winning their first match against Australia and Bangladesh, respectively. It would be interesting to see whether New Zealand starts their campaign with a win or a defeat.
