New Zealand vs. Wisconsin key battle:

Tom Latham VS Jayden Sears

New Zealand captain Tom Latham will be entrusted with the task of scoring the winning goal and leading the team to victory in the series.

Latham will have to deal with the bowling of Jayden Sears, who will look to beat him early in the innings.

Kane Williamson VS Kemar Roach

Former Blackcaps captain Kane Williamson will also be looking to make a significant contribution considering the team is going through a number of injuries.

Williamson will go head-to-head with Kemar Roach, who will be looking to bring all his experience to lead his team to victory in the final game of the series.

Shay Hope vs. Jacob Duffy

Shai Hope will have to take responsibility and put in a lot of effort with the bat, he is one of the few batsmen involved in the white-ball setup and should be familiar with the conditions.

Hope will line up against Jacob Duffy, who has been in fine form for much of the Test series in the absence of Matt Henry.

Justin Greaves vs. Zach Fox

Like Hope, Justin Greaves is one of the batsmen who will be looking to make his mark in the two Test matches so far in the series and the team management will be backing him to perform well again.

Greaves will face a challenge from Zach Fox, who is expected to back up Duffy from the other end.
