The result of the first test between New Zealand and South Africa came as expected. New Zealand thrashed the inexperienced South African team by a massive margin of 281 runs to take a 1-0 unassailable lead in the two-match test series.
With that, they also climbed to the top of the World Test Championship 2023–25. Now, New Zealand will lock horns with South Africa in the second test, which will start on February 13 at Seddon Park in Hamilton. It is a good chance that New Zealand will wrap up the series, while South Africa need a miracle to turn things around.

NZ vs SA: Pitch Report
The pitch in Hamilton is pretty good for the fast bowlers. It helps the ball swing, especially in the first inning. The batters can do well on Days 2 or 3, but then the ball will start to turn and reverse swing.
