    What's the story

    New Zealand will fight for a historic win as they take on South Africa in the second and final Test of the series.

    Having comprehensively clinched the series opener, the Kiwis are eyeing their maiden Test series win over the Proteas side.

    Meanwhile, the second-string South African team would aim to display a better show.

    Here is the preview of the second Test.

    Details 

    Pitch report, timing, and broadcast details

    The Seddon Park in Hamilton will host this duel, starting on February 13. Teams bowling first have 10 wins and nine defeats here (Draw: 8).

    While batters tend to dominate the initial couple of days here, pacers become lethal in the latter half.

    The match won't be live telecasted in India. Amazon Prime Video, however, will provide the live streaming (3:30am IST).

    NZ vs SA

    Can SA youngsters turn up?

    While Kane Williamson slammed twin tons in the opener, Rachin Ravindra made a double-ton in NZ's first innings.

    SA could not fight back thereafter as they lost by 281 runs.

    Meanwhile, Daryl Mitchell is unavailable for the second Test.

    Notably, the visitors have named a second-string team as the ongoing Test series is clashing with the SA20, South Africa's premier T20 competition.
