All you need to know about the 2nd New Zealand-Pakistan Test in Hamilton

#4 Another greenish surface expected

A green pitch is expected to welcome both teams at Seddon Park

Amidst disconcerting murmurs regarding the types of pitches New Zealand have rolled out for touring teams, the curators left a copious amount of grass to tackle the effect of impending warm weather. A similar surface is expected in order to negate Yasir Shah’s menace and facilitate the home side's bid to seal the series.

Even though rain has been forecast for the first three days of the match, a result does not seem far-fetched when considering the help available to the seamers. The increased prevalence of humidity should make the new ball even more dangerous.
