The sides, however, have never faced each other in the knockout stages of the tournament. In 50-over ICC events, New Zealand hold the edge by winning a quarterfinal and two semifinals against South Africa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Obviously, very excited the way, especially the way that we played this campaign, and I think for us, it\u2019s a new game, it\u2019s a new start, as we know, just to continue with those good things that we\u2019ve been doing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cEach individual has been preparing really well, has been putting up performances. If you look at the campaign so far, everyone\u2019s contributed at different stages, so that\u2019s always a healthy sign. Going into this game, it\u2019s another game to do something really special.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cSo I think it\u2019s just making sure that we get into the fight as quick as possible and kind of adapting on the day, see where it goes. Everyone\u2019s really buzzed up and excited and ready to go,\" said Miller in a pre-match chat with the broadcasters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cEach individual has been preparing really well, has been putting up performances. If you look at the campaign so far, everyone\u2019s contributed at different stages, so that\u2019s always a healthy sign. Going into this game, it\u2019s another game to do something really special.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p>Asked about his assessment of the pitch, Miller said, \u201cIt should be a good wicket. Like I said, let\u2019s adapt as we start and kind of sum up the conditions as quickly as possible. But I think it will be a good wicket. So it\u2019s just making sure that we do whatever we do first, we do it really well, and try and put pressure on the opposition as quickly as possible.\" <\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
