New Zealand (NZ) vs South Africa (SA) 2nd Test Match Team News South Africa tour of New Zealand
South Africa faced a crushing defeat in the 1st Test match against New Zealand. The hosts won the match by an innings and 276 runs as the South African batting line up was ripped apart by the Kiwi pacers, especially Matt Henry and Tim Southee.
The 2nd Test match of the 2-match series is scheduled to take place on 25th February.
South Africa has to make up for their performance in the 1st match and they would want to level the series in this match which would be a difficult task for them.
Trent Boult will not be a part of the 2nd Test match as well as he didn’t have sufficient training to be a part of the playing 11 and he can be at risk of injury as a result.

New Zealand vs South Africa Dream11 Fantasy Team Players
Wicket Keepers
- T Blundell - Tom Blundell is the top pick for the wicket keeper category. He gathered 164 dream11 points in the 1st match. He scored 96 runs off 138 deliveries.
- K Verreynne - Kyle Vereyyne has picked up wicket keeper duties after Quinton de Kock retired from Test cricket. He picked up 73 dream11 points in the first match and he played a good innings of 30 off 38 deliveries in the 2nd innings.
Batsmen
- T Bavuma - South African red ball skipper Temba Bavuma struggled a bit here after a good form in the home series against India. We are backing him for this match as he played a good knock of 41 runs in the 2nd innings.
- D Conway - Devon Conway has returned from an injury hiatus lately. He scored 36 runs in the 1st match. Despite a low score, he is still one of the top picks in the dream11 batting line up as he has capability of scoring huge knocks in this format.
- A Markram - Aiden Markram is another batsman picked from the South African side. He couldn't perform much with the bat on this surface but he bowled 8 overs and took 2 wickets.
- H Nicholls - Henry Nicholls is a must pick for this match after his brilliant century in the 1st match.
All-Rounders
- M Jansen - Marco Jansen is our only pick from the all rounders list. Jansen is a good find for the South African team, for the red ball format. He picked 2 wickets in the 1st match and interpreted the foreign pitch quite well for his first tour.
Bowlers
- T Southee - Tim Southee took 1 wicket in 1st innings and then went all berserk in the 2nd innings with the figures of 5/35. He has great stats on the home pitches.
- N Wagner - Neil Wagner has taken 3 wickets and scored 49 runs in the 1st match. His batting was really impressive. He gathered 120 dream11 points.
- M Henry - Matt Henry emerged as the Player of the Match for his 9 wickets in the 1st match which came at an average of 6.11. He took a 7-wicket haul in the 1st innings which resulted in the South African innings bowled out for 95 runs.
- K Rabada - Kagiso Rabada took 2 wickets in the first match which is quite less than his average wicket taking stats. But he will always be in the bowlers pick for any South African Test match as he is a top class bowler in all formats.
