The South African cricket team toured New Zealand during February to March 2017 to play three Test matches, five One Day Internationals (ODIs) and one Twenty20 International (T20I) match.[1][2][3] In January 2017 the current South African Test captain AB de Villiers said he would be unavailable for selection for this series.[4] The fourth ODI, which was originally scheduled to be played at McLean Park, Napier, was moved to Seddon Park, Hamilton. This was due to need for urgent work on the venue's turf, drainage and irrigation system.[5]
South Africa won the one-off T20I match by 78 runs,[6] and the five-match ODI series 3–2, reclaiming the number one spot in the ODI ranking.[7] It was South Africa's seventh consecutive win in a bilateral ODI series, ending New Zealand's eighth successive bilateral ODI series winning streak at home.[8] South Africa won the Test series 1–0, with the first and third Tests ending as draws, leading to the confirmation of South Africa as the number two Test ranked nation by the cut-off date of 1 April 2017 behind India.[9]
