Chance to complete 400 wickets in test cricket
Saudi needs 11 wickets to complete 400 wickets in Test cricket. If he does this, he will become the second Kiwi bowler after Sir Richard Hadlee (431 wickets) to take 400 or more Test wickets. This would be a big milestone, but considering the current form it may seem a bit difficult. Muttiah Muralitharan has the maximum number of 800 wickets in Test cricket.
Fourth batsman to hit 100 sixes in Test
Apart from this, Saudi has a chance to make another special record. Till now he has 95 sixes in his name in Test cricket. If he hits five more sixes, he will become the second New Zealand batsman to complete 100 sixes. In this matter, he will leave behind Jacques Kallis and Chris Gayle and reach equal to Adam Gilchrist. Gilchrist has 100 sixes in his name, while Brendon McCullum (107) and Ben Stokes (133) are ahead of him.
This match will be emotional and special for Tim Southee. He is leaving behind a career in which he has made great contributions with both ball and bat. His fans are expecting his brilliant performance in this match.
