Champions Trophy: Ponting Backs SA Over NZ But Warns Of ‘big-game’ Williamson Factor
ICC Champions Trophy: Legendary Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting has tipped South Africa as the favourites heading into their ICC Champions Trophy semi-final against New Zealand, citing the Proteas' "bit more class and power" in their lineup. However, he warned that if Kane Williamson finds his rhythm, he could single-handedly turn the game in New Zealand’s favour.
Speaking on ICC Review on Tuesday, Ponting analysed the two sides and felt that South Africa’s deep and destructive batting order gives them the edge, much like India.
"If I look at both the sides, I think there's that little bit more class in the South African line-up. They bat deep. I think they might have a little bit too much power for New Zealand," Ponting stated.
