NZ Vs ENG 1st Test Preview

The Kiwis will take on the in-form team of England at home. The team under Ben Stokes had recently won a Test series in Pakistan, which was England’s greatest win overseas and that win was their maiden Test win in Pakistan as well.

New Zealand also toured Pakistan. But they couldn’t win the Test series. However, The Kiwis won their maiden series in the fifty-overs format in Pakistan.

Under the leadership of Ben Stokes, the team has had a new approach to the red ball format and they would carry that dominant style of play in New Zealand as well. 

The batters still hold the key for England in this series. Their batters can set a template in this series. Joe Root and James Anderson will be the players to watch out from England’s side in the first Test match.

The Kiwis need their batters to step up against a good bowling side of England. The likes of Williamson, Blundell, Latham and Conway will be the key batters from the Kiwis team.

The bowlers too will have some work to do. Skipper Tim Southee and Neil Wagner hold the key with the red cherry.

The last time when England and New Zealand played a Test series, the team under Ben Stokes won that series in 2022.

Now The Kiwis, the current holders of the World Test Championship trophy need to show how good they are at home.

Daryl Mitchell had scored tons in the last series against England. The Blackcaps side will hope that the all-rounder, Daryl Mitchell contributes heavily in this series as well.

Overall England again looks favourite to win the series this time also because they haven’t lost any Test series since Ben Stokes has taken over the captaincy from Joe Root.
