The series opener is scheduled to take place at the Basin Reserve in Wellington and will start at 3:30 AM IST. This is the first Test match between the two sides since 2020. Moreover, Australia are playing Tests in the Kiwi nation for the first time since 2016.

As far as the World Test Championship is concerned, this is the battle between the team at the top of the points table and the side sitting at the third position. Both teams will be looking to put their best foot forward and that makes this series an exciting prospect for the fans.

New Zealand Preview

New Zealand last played a Test series against an inexperienced South Africa side and won it 2-0 at home. They are in excellent form when it comes to the red-ball format especially in their home conditions and it is a very tough job to beat them. 

However, when it comes to Australia, New Zealand will be wary of their threat and will look to continue their strong record at home.
 

New Zealand Lineup
Tom Latham, Will Young, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell, Glenn Phillips, Scott Kuggeleijn, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, William O’Rourke, William ORourke

 

New Zealand- Who Will Be The Best Batter?

No doubt Kane Williamson has to be the main man for the Kiwis to click to have any chance of beating Australia. The former New Zealand skipper smashed three centuries in four innings against South Africa but the quality of bowling will be of different level in this series. 

Williamson himself is coming off some time away from the game and that must have helped him get refreshed for this crucial series.

New Zealand- Who Will Be The Best Bowler?

In the absence of Trent Boult, Matt Henry has been one bowler who has stepped up for New Zealand in recent times. He can make the new ball talk and in helpful conditions, is a massive prospect for the Kiwis. 

Henry has played 23 Tests and picked up 78 wickets with the best figures of 7/23 and is at times unplayable in home conditions.

Australia Preview

Australia’s home season concluded only recently where they hosted Pakistan and West Indies. They blanked Pakistan 3-0 but were shockingly defeated by the West Indies in the pink ball Test and that must have certainly opened up cracks in their batting line-up. 

With David Warner no more playing Test cricket and not all batters in top form, Australia will be tested in this series.
 

Australia Lineup
Steven Smith, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

 

Australia- Who Will Be The Best Batter?

Steve Smith is the man for all conditions for Australia but him opening the innings has changed a lot of things. Nevertheless, Smith loves challenges and even though he has struggled a bit, he is coming off a brilliant 91-run knock in the previous outing against the West Indies. 

The ball will swing a lot but Smith is known to take challenges head on and his Test average of 58.04 after 107 Tests prove it.

Australia- Who Will Be The Best Bowler?

Josh Hazlewood relies a lot on line and length when it comes to bowling in helpful conditions. He tends to run through the opposition line-up and that can happen in conditions played in New Zealand. 

He has played 68 Test matches so far in this career and has accounted for 263 scalps so far and will be keen on adding more to his tally in this Test match.

Our toss prediction for the first Test between Australia and New Zealand is that the team winning the toss will bowl first. No doubt the surface will be helpful to the bowlers especially in the first innings for both teams before things flatten out for the second essay.
 

NZ Vs AUS Venue, Pitch and Weather Report

As many as 68 Test matches have been played at the Basin Reserve in Wellington and 29 of them have been won by sides bowling first. Clearly, the cricket odds are in favour of the sides that bowl first. As for the weather, it is expected to be clear for the first two days but it will be windy on the next two days and on the final day, rain is expected to fall.
 

NZ Vs AUS Match Winner Prediction

It is very tough to predict the winner of this match but to start with, New Zealand are expected to emerge victorious and take an early lead in the series. As for Australia, no doubt they will come hard at the hosts but the fact that they are no longer invincible makes them vulnerable to start with.
