New Zealand and South Africa will face each other in the second Test of the two-match series, starting Tuesday, February 13. Seddon Park in Hamilton will host the contest.
The Kiwis have never won a Test series against South Africa, but are now in with a great chance of doing so. The visitors do not have a full-strength squad at their disposal and hence, it would be a challenge for them to stage a comeback.
New Zealand were clinical in the first Test at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui after they won by 281 runs to take a 1-0 series lead. Rachin Ravindra’s double century and Williamson’s twin hundreds made sure that the home team did not face any troubles crossing the finishing line. The Kiwis, however, would not have Daryl Mitchell, who was ruled out due to a foot injury.
As per our cricket betting tips, Kane Williamson will be the standout performer for New Zealand in the upcoming match.
In the first Test, he became the fifth Black Caps’ batter to score two hundreds in a single Test. The fact that he averages nearly 70 runs in home Tests and has converted 11 out of his last 12 fifty-plus scores show how dangerous he can be in the purest format of the game.

Kyle Jamieson turned out to be a tough nut to crack in the opening Test and it should not be a surprise if the lanky pacer makes the South African batters sweat even in the next game.
In the first innings, the speedster finished with figures of 15-6-35-2 after which he ran through the opposition batting lineup with a four-wicket haul in the second.

Lack of experience clearly showed as South Africa failed to create enough pressure on the New Zealand batters. Clyde Fortuin, Edward Moore, Neil Brand, Ruan de Swardt, Raynard van Tonder and Tshepo Moreki made their debuts in Test cricket and all of them felt the heat. The Proteas will be under the pump to secure victory and avoid a series defeat.
David Bedingham should stand out for South Africa in the batting department as per cricket odds. After playing some handy knocks in the series against India, Bedingham looked in excellent form in the opening Test against the Kiwis.
In the first innings, the right-hander scored 32 runs after which he racked up 87 runs off 96 balls with 13 fours and three sixes in South Africa’s run-chase.

The left-arm also chipped in with two wickets in the second innings to show his class with the ball in hand.

Kane Williamson is expected to be a strong contender to win the Player of the Match award. In the first Test, he scored hundreds in both innings, but missed out on winning the award. Rachin Ravindra won the award after his stupendous double hundred in the first innings.
As per toss prediction, teams should opt to bat first after winning the toss. If the batters can survive the initial bursts from the fast bowlers, batting will become easier gradually on the opening day. New Zealand would not mind chasing as well as they have the batting firepower to chase any target down.
The pitch at the venue in Hamilton is expected to be an excellent one for batting. Fast bowlers are most likely to extract pace and bounce from the surface along with sideways movement. Spinners would not be out of the game, but need to work hard to reap the rewards.
There are minimal chances of rain on Day 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the Test match, but on Day 4, rain is likely to cause delays and interruptions. Playing conditions will be pleasant for a game of cricket. Temperatures will be around 25 and 29 degrees Celsius.
If you are thinking about who will win today's match, New Zealand will go into the game as firm favorites. South Africa lack firepower, especially in the bowling department and it will be tough for them to stop the in-form Black Caps’ batting unit. It needs a herculean effort from the Proteas to save the series.
