At the Basin Reserve in Wellington, New Zealand will compete against England. On Friday, February 24, at 11:00 local time, the second test of the two-game series gets underway.
Only two victories in the previous 11 Tests sustained New Zealand’s abysmal performance. This was also England’s first victory in a Test in New Zealand since 2007.
The English Test cricket team’s fortunes had made an astonishing turnaround, and throughout the First Test, the visitors dominated and were in control. It was a really strong showing from the batting and bowling lineup in Mount Maunganui, despite their struggles to claim the final New Zealand wicket in the first innings.

England is the favorite to win this match.
At Mount Maunganui, there was a significant gap between New Zealand and England in terms of skill, strategy, and confidence. If the hosts want to compete with England in this Test, their bat and ball skills will need to significantly improve. We anticipate a closer game than last week, although the clubs’ Test records are quite different. We are rooting for England to become stronger in every area and to triumph once more.
