South Africa vs New Zealand, 1st Test, Day 1 Live Streaming: Where to watch live telecast

South Africa and New Zealand will play the first Test, of the two-Test series in South Africa, at Kingsmead, Durban. The home side will be without regular skipper, AB de Villiers, due to injury. They will be led by Faf du Plessis. The contest should be neck to neck as both the teams have different motives and agenda to play for but the end result will be the same, i.e. to go for a win. New Zealand would like to make a strong statement, post Brendon McCullum-era, and want to move in the same stead whereas South Africa will like to climb up in the ICC Test rankings after being former No. 1 and sliding down to No. 7.

Problems are aplenty for the hosts as they have not only slipped down in the rankings but lost self belief and confidence after the drubbing they received in India in 2015. They also lost their last home series, where they have a solid record, against England. On the other hand, New Zealand have welcomed their new skipper, Kane Williamson, with a whitewash against minnows, Zimbabwe. It will be interesting to see how he leads against a top side who are not in form, at present. LIVE CRICKET UPDATES: South Africa vs New zealand, 1st Test at Durban

The visitors have a dismal record in the African nation and will like to better that this time around. Their batsmen Tom Latham, Martin Guptill, Williamson, Ross Taylor and BJ Watling are in good touch whereas Neil Wagner, Trent Boult and Tim Southee can run through any side’s batting line-up. Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock and du Plessis will have to hold the team’s batting while the bowling attack will be spearhead by Dale Steyn along with Vernon Philander and Kasigo Rabada. The pitch maybe prone to a four-bowler pace attack and will be interesting to see how both teams make amends in the Test.
