New Zealand vs South Africa 2nd T20I: Live Streaming and Telecast Details New Zealand will face South Africa in the second T20I of a five-match series on Tuesday, March 17, at Seddon Park in Hamilton. The Kiwis are trailing 0-1 after South Africa secured a seven-wicket victory in the opening match on Sunday. Ahead of the second encounter, South Africa batter Jordan Hermann has been ruled out due to a right hamstring injury. Hermann, who made his T20I debut in the first match, sustained the injury while fielding during Sunday’s series opener at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, which forced him to leave the field and prevented his return to the game. The match will start at 11:45 AM IST, with the toss scheduled for 11:15 AM. The game will be televised live on the Sony Sports network in India and streamed on the SonyLIV app and website. The venue, Seddon Park, is located in Hamilton, New Zealand. The series is part of a broader schedule that includes other matches such as the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, with India’s victories over West Indies and England in the semifinals and final. The upcoming T20I will be the second of five matches between New Zealand and South Africa, with the series serving as a crucial opportunity for both teams to build momentum ahead of larger tournaments. The absence of Hermann could impact South Africa’s batting lineup, as the injury adds to the challenges faced by the Proteas in maintaining consistency. New Zealand, meanwhile, will look to capitalize on their home advantage and address the loss from the first match to secure a series turnaround. The match is expected to draw significant attention from cricket fans, with live coverage ensuring global access to the action.#new_zealand #south_africa #seddon_park #jordan_hermann #sony_sports
