Match Prediction:
On March 8, New Zealand will host Australia for the second and final Test. At 3:30 AM IST, the encounter will be played at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
In the first Test, New Zealand was no match for the formidable Australians, falling victim to a dismissal by 172 runs. New Zealand’s performance was predominantly unfavorable, with the exception of Glenn Phillips, who amassed 71 runs in Australia’s first innings and five wickets in their second. In order for New Zealand to contend with Australia, the upper order must generate runs.
Australia has also experienced its share of batting difficulties. Aside from Cameron Green’s spectacular 174 runs, no other batters made a significant contribution during the innings. Australia will be cognizant of the fact that in order to keep New Zealand at bay, batters must score runs. In the event that Australia’s batting struggles once more, New Zealand will have an opportunity to stage a revival in the series.
