IND vs NZ 1st Test Match Prediction: India will welcome New Zealand for the 1st Test match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, on October 16, 2024, and the match will start at 9:30 AM. Check out all the match predictions and everything related to the game in this article.
Team Preview of India vs New Zealand 1st Test Match Prediction 2024
India’s team will face New Zealand in the three-match test series, and after winning two out of two matches against Bangladesh, they are high on confidence. On their own turf, India has not lost any test series since 2012-2023; the last time they lost a test series was against England by 2-1.
India has won 14 test series at home since 2012-2013, and once again, against the New Zealand side, they will be looking confident of winning the series because recently, New Zealand lost the series against Sri Lanka and Australia back to back.
Mohammed Shami will still miss the test squad, but three new reverse bowlers have been named for the squad, including Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav, and Prasidh Krishna. In the recent T20I series against Bangladesh, the Indian express bowler Mayank Yadav was given a chance in all three matches, in which he took four wickets, which was a decent start to his career. However, Harshit Rana missed the chance to get the debut cap because of the Viral he got before the third T20I.
India won their last head-to-head match against New Zealand by 372 runs, which clearly states that India dominated the game and won it quite easily. However, India needs to win five more test matches to qualify for the World Test Championship for the third time in a row.
Kane Williamson will miss the first test match due to a groin strain, which he has been suffering from recently and has missed many matches. Mark Chapman might get the debut cap in the test match, who has been amazing in the domestic circuit.
