    The second and final Test of the series between New Zealand and South Africa is scheduled to commence on Tuesday, February 13, at Seddon Park in Hamilton. With the Kiwis holding a 1-0 lead in the series, anticipation is high for the upcoming match. The initial Test at Bay Oval unfolded as a largely one-sided affair. New Zealand asserted dominance with a formidable total of 511, powered by Rachin Ravindra’s double-century (240) and Kane Williamson’s century (118). In response, South Africa faltered, managing only 162 runs and conceding a substantial first-innings lead of 349 to the hosts.

    In the second innings, Williamson showcased his prowess once again by smashing a century as New Zealand declared their innings at 179/4, setting an imposing target of 529 runs for the Proteas. Displaying relentless determination, New Zealand’s bowlers then dismantled the visitors for 247 runs, securing a resounding victory by 281 runs and establishing an insurmountable lead in the two-match series. With a commanding performance in the opening Test, the inexperienced South African side faces the daunting task of elevating their game to match the Kiwis’ level and salvage the series. Meanwhile, New Zealand aims to maintain their dominance and achieve a whitewash in Hamilton.
