Pitch Report – NZ vs WI 2nd Test

Eden Park offers a batting-friendly surface with consistent bounce, allowing stroke-makers to dominate once set. Fast bowlers enjoy early swing and seam movement, especially in the first two sessions. As the match progresses, the pitch tends to flatten out, making run-scoring easier for settled batters. Spin becomes effective from Day 3 onward, with footmarks aiding turn. The dew factor remains minimal, so it does not significantly influence the game.

NZ vs WI Fantasy Strategy

  • Pick two quality pacers from each team as early wickets are highly likely.

  • Add at least one spinner who can take advantage of the Day 3–5 conditions.

  • Prioritize top-order batsmen from New Zealand, as Eden Park often rewards solid stroke play.

  • Choose an all-rounder like Jason Holder or Kyle Jamieson to maximize dual scoring potential.
