Match State: Match start scheduled for Noon local time (11pm GMT)
Welcome from Wisden-CricInfo to the 6th and final ODI between New
Zealand and South Africa from Napier in New Zealand
The great news is that the skies are blue and we are in for a
scheduled start
New Zealand lead the series 4-1 and all that is left for RSA is
pride, while NZ would love to make it 5 in a row, specially before
the test series starts
McMillan has been released by the NCU to be with his wife, so
Harris could get another chance to get his 200th wicket
Pollock seems doubtful after carrying a groin strain so the bowling
pressure increases on Ntini, Nel and Kallis
The pitch is hard and flat, has a slight dead grass covering, so
could be slightly slow, with some seam
For South Africa Pollock is playing, Boje stands down for Peterson
and Prince comes in
Smith has won the toss and South Africa will bat
Papps back for McMillan and Mason in for Mills
