New Zealand vs India | Tomorrow Match Prediction | Cricket Match Prediction
Preview :
New Zealand and India will face off each other in the first Test at Basin Reserve in Wellington tomorrow onwards.
Indian team kicked off this tour with a historic 5-0 win in T20I series but they couldn’t repeat that performance in the ODI series and got whitewashed and now they will look to do better in two Tests series. India is number one ranked Test side and haven’t lost any Test for last 12 months and that shows how strong they’re but in these conditions it will not be easy for them. Pacers along with batsmen have to step up to put New Zealand under pressure. On the other hand, New Zealand who have been excellent in Tests at home over the years, will look to continue their good run. As usual the duo of Trent Boult and Tim Southee will be the key for them and they also have debutant Kyle Jamieson for their support and in batting Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor and Tom Latham will have to step up.

Win Prediction by Dream Team Cricket :
India are number one ranked Test side and unbeaten from last 12 months while New Zealand have been unbeaten at home for more than 2 years so it shows both the sides are strong in some particular areas. New Zealand tracks usually help pacers on the first day and with time gets better for batting so both sides will look to bowl first after winning the toss. So whoever bowls first and bundles out other team for 150-200 runs will be in good position. Seeing form of players and their strength on paper team India is better Test side than New Zealand.
