Temba Bavuma is expecting conditions at the Hagley Oval for the second and final Test match against New Zealand to be more batter friendly because of the increased temperatures in Christchurch.
During the first Test, which they lost by an innings and 276 runs, SA struggled to bat against the New Zealand fast-bowling attack led by Matt Henry who returned with nine wickets.
“During the previous Test match, we started with overhead conditions and we saw that it assisted fast bowling a bit. I guess with the sun out, it will make it a little bit more pleasant to bat on.” In the first Test, Bavuma was SA’s joint top scorer with Kyle Verreynne on 48 runs and says someone needs to stand up and score big.
