India takes on New Zealand in the second and last Test at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. The Blackcaps won the first Test by ten wickets and took an unassailable 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Both these Test matches are part of the ICC World Test Championship 2019-20. So, both India and New Zealand will be keen to ad some more points to their tally. Interestingly, there is a chance of yet another whitewash result. In T20Is, India clean swept New Zealand 5-0 and then the Kiwis returned the favour in ODIs and won 3-0. Now New Zealand will be looking to make it 2-0 in Tests as well.
