New Zealand stands on the brink of making history as one of the oldest rivalries takes center stage at Seddon Park in Hamilton. The Kiwis exhibited complete dominance over a relatively inexperienced South African team, which featured six debutants, in the first Test. They have never managed to secure a Test series victory against the Proteas, presenting them with a golden opportunity to rewrite that record. Rachin Ravindra stole the spotlight with a magnificent double century, while the ever-reliable Kane Williamson notched back-to-back hundreds in both innings. However, Tom Latham and Devon Conway faced challenges, and there's a possibility that Will Young might feature in this Test with Daryl Mitchell's foot injury. Mitchell and Glenn Phillips contributed with the bat in the middle order. New Zealand's bowling attack, led by Tim Southee, Matt Henry, and Kyle Jamieson, forms a formidable trio, with Jamieson and Henry claiming the majority of wickets in the last game. Spinners Mitchell Santner and Ravindra also thrived on a turning track, with Glenn Phillips joining in.
