Chasing has been more preferred by captains in the last few games as conditions have got better to bat in second innings. Once again, captain winning the toss should chase.
The conditions will be overcast so there will be some help on offer for the bowlers. If they put the ball in right areas, things could get challenging for batters as there will be definite movement.
There is some rain around in Dunedin. As per Weather forecast, it will be overcast, with a 35 per cent chance of rain. The temperature will range between 23 and 16 degrees.
