NZ vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Injury Updates & Pitch Report For 2nd Test

New Zealand will be up against Australia in the 2nd Test of the Australia tour of New Zealand at Hagley Oval in Christchurch from March 8. After completely dominating and clean-sweeping the Kiwis in the T20I series, Australia started the Test Series on a high as well and won the first of the two-match test series.

These teams squared off against each other in the first Test of the series, where New Zealand won the toss and elected to field. Australia started decently, but after the first loss, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Green stood his ground from one end as he smashed 174, taking his team to 383 runs. New Zealand started the innings horribly as they had lost five wickets at just the score of 29. Phillips and Henry played handy knocks down the order, which could save them the face, but still were bowled out for 179, having a first-inning deficit of 204 runs.

Australia, in the third innings, had a similar fallout as did the Kiwis in the second innings. A couple of batters got starts but none of them were able to capitalise on it to convert it into bigger totals. They were bundled together for 164 giving a target of 369 runs. This was a daunting task for the Kiwis, and they needed to start well if they wished to achieve this feat. They did not start well yet again and looked in trouble. Rachin Ravindra did play a good knock worth 59 but did not receive much support from the other end to save the team. As a result, they were bowled out for just 196, losing the game by 172 runs.
