New Zealand and South Africa face off each other in the NZ vs SA second Test in Hamilton. The Test match will be played between February 13-17. The match starts at 3:30 am IST. New Zealand won the first Test by 281 runs and are leading the Test series. Tim Southee leads the Kiwis. They have named a full-strength squad with key players back in the side.
Kane Williamson scored centuries in both innings while Rachin Ravindra scored his maiden test double ton. The form of the two Kiwi batters promises a lot more for the team in the second Test. The Kiwis are topping the points table as well.
South Africa has named a very inexperienced unit. Neil Brand was named the skipper for the South African Test squad. He was amongst the even uncapped players who were included in the squad ahead of the Test series.
Keegan Petersen with 13 Test matches is the most experienced batter in the squad. Many of the players made their debut in the first Test.
Cricket South Africa announced its second-string Test squad for the two-match NZ vs SA Test series. This was because the first-choice players were busy playing in the SA20. Cricket South Africa emphasized the importance of the tournament bringing revenue to the nation.
However, it was met with criticism from all corners of the world, with former Australian captains Steve Waugh and Michael Clarke also criticizing the move. The SA20 2024 ended on Saturday with Sunrisers Eastern Cape winning their second consecutive title.
