New Zealand and South Africa will face off against each other in a two-match test series. This series will start on Sunday, and a number of former cricketers, cricket pundits, and fans have an eye on this series. It is because South Africa have sent a second-string team for this tournament.

They did this because of the ongoing South Africa T20 League back home. Hence, many have criticised Cricket South Africa. However, we will enjoy the cricket match. The first test will begin on February 4, which will be held at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. So stay tuned for the latest updates.
