New Zealand vs South Africa Chance of Winning
New Zealand are the red hot favourites to beat South Africa and clinch the 2-Test series 2-0. New Zealand hammered South Africa by 281 runs in the first innings. South Africa have sent a highly inexperienced team to New Zealand, and another crushing defeat is on the cards for the visitors.

New Zealand, on the other hand, are loaded with the superstars of the game. Kane Williamson smashed a double hundred in both the innings of the first Test, while Rachin Ravindra smashed a first innings double hundred. The bowling consisting of Tim Southee, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Mtchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra would once again be too hot to handle for rookie South Africa players.

New Zealand opening partnership to be over 19.5
New Zealand opening pair of Tom Latham and Devon Conway partnered for two runs only in the first innings of the first Test. In the second inning the duo partnered for 10 runs. Latham and Conway are two highly talented batters and must have learnt their lessons already. Against a very inexperienced South Africa batting unit, Conway and Latham would aim to roar back to form and stitch a solid opening stand for their team.
