South Africa vs New Zealand Second Test Betting

March 16 - South African cricket fans are hoping the Proteas win the current South Africa vs. New Zealand Cricket Test series, after they beat the Kiwis in the T20 Cricket series 2-1 and the ODI Cricket series 3-0.

While the first test match resulted in a draw, the second is in progress in Hamilton. The third and final test match will be played in Wellington from March 23 to March 27.

Proteas Cricket Test Series Betting

In terms of South Africa vs. New Zealand Cricket Test odds, the Proteas are strongly favoured to win at most online betting sites, including Bet365.

In the test cricket rankings South Africa is at No. 2 while New Zealand is at No. 8. However, in the rain-marred South Africa vs. New Zealand first cricket test, either team could have won on the last day, which has given the home team a much-needed morale boost.

For the South Africans, the good news is that AB de Villiers has passed his fitness test and is playing in the second test, after he hurt his ankle during practice earlier in the week.

The talented player led the team in the South Africa vs. New Zealand T20 and ODI series victories, before handing the reigns to regular test captain, Graeme Smith. While de Villiers batted brilliantly in the shorter formats of the game, he failed to deliver in the first test and will obviously be looking to correct that in the second.

For South Africa, the biggest disappointment of not winning the first test match will be that they now have no chance of rising to the No. 1 spot in the current year’s ICC Test Cricket rankings. They needed a 3-0 win in the South Africa vs. New Zealand Test series to be in the running. However, they will expect to win the test series and live up to the faith their supporters and punters have put in them.
