New Zealand are favorites to win
New Zealand and South Africa meet in the Second Test in Christchurch on Friday morning. The First Test saw South Africa suffer their second largest defeat in Test history as they were beaten by an innings and 276 runs inside three days. Read on as we preview this final match of the series. The Second Test begins at the Hagley Oval at 11:00 local time.
New Zealand were outstanding across all three days of the opening Test. They will be very confident of registering their third successive Test victory.
After beating India last month, South Africa had their bubble well and truly burst last week. Their batters must get acquainted with the local conditions or else this will be another quick defeat.
The series will be broadcasted on Star Network in India. Live streaming of the series will be available on Disney Hotstar.
Live Streaming: They will also be streamed on SonyLiv App. The info has been taken from a third party and is subjected to change.
New Zealand won the toss and chose to field first in the First Test. We expect both skippers to insert the opposition in this match.
Expect a very similar surface to what we saw last week. Plenty of grass on the pitch over the first day and a half with batting getting easier as the Test progresses.
Sunny with some cloud cover throughout the five days. We do not expect any rain interruptions with the temperature around 20 degrees across the Test.

After such a comprehensive victory last week, New Zealand have kept the same squad for this Test. This means that captain Kane Williamson and new-ball bowler Trent Boult are still both absent. Tom Latham will continue as captain and we expect to see an unchanged New Zealand XI.
All of New Zealand’s team performed impressively in the last game and they look very strong at home again.
Tom Latham (c), Will Young, Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell (wk), Colin de Grandhomme, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, Matt Henry
South Africa handed out Test debuts to opener Sarel Erwee and bowler Glenton Stuurman last week. Although neither had a game to remember, it would be a big surprise if they dropped either after one match. There are no injuries in the South Africa camp.
South Africa have won two and lost two of their last four Tests.
Dean Elgar (c), Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, Sarel Erwee, Temba Bavuma, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Zubayr Hamza, Duanne Olivier, Glenton Stuurman
New Zealand recorded their fifth victory over South Africa in Tests last week.

After the big win in the opening Test, New Zealand are heavy favourites with the bookies in this match.
Henry Nicholls and Tom Blundell were the big run scorers for New Zealand in the first game with no South Africa batter making a half-century across both innings.
Devon Conway, Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls are our batting tips for New Zealand. Latham averages 42.46 in Test cricket.
Dean Elgar, Rassie van der Dussen and Temba Bavuma are our batting recommendations for South Africa. Elgar and van der Dussen both made single figure scores in both innings last week but both are determined players who will not give their wickets away lightly this time
For New Zealand, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner and Matt Henry are our bowling tips. Southee took 5-35 in the second innings to win the game last week.
For South Africa, Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Duanne Olivier are our bowling tips. Jansen dismissed Will Young and Tom Blundell in his first Test in New Zealand.
Although New Zealand are still without two of their best players in Kane Williamson and Trent Boult, we expect them to be too strong once again for South Africa. We are predicting the visitors to produce a better performance and the game to last until at least the fourth day, but overall we are backing New Zealand again.
