Talking about the first test, New Zealand had won against South Africa by 281 runs. No player from South Africa failed to perform well and that is why they had to face defeat in the first test.

However, South Africa has made a very good start in the second Test and is still ahead of New Zealand by 31 runs in the first innings. The third day of the game will be very important for both the teams. Now it remains to be seen which team wins the second test?
