New Zealand Dominates as Australia Struggles in Pursuit of Victory

New Zealand is poised for a significant Test victory over arch-rivals Australia after a strong performance on day three of the second Test at Hagley Oval. Chasing 279 for victory, Australia struggled at 34-4 with Matt Henry and debutant Ben Sears making crucial breakthroughs.

Despite a resilient effort from Travis Head and Mitch Marsh, Australia finished at 77-4 requiring 203 runs for victory. In their second innings, New Zealand set a target of 372 with Rachin Ravindra (82) and Daryl Mitchell (58) contributing half-centuries. The Australian bowlers faced challenges and Pat Cummins led with 4-62.

Nathan Lyon took three late wickets. New Zealand’s strong position has set the stage for a potential series-leveling victory.
