NZ vs ENG 1st Test 2024 Prediction

New Zealand will take on England in the first Test of the 3-match series at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch, from Thursday (November 28) morning.

 

New Zealand's last Test series was a 3-0 win in India. It was an unbelievable result for Tom Latham as his first series as full time Test captain. Star batter Kane Williamson is back in the team. Tim Southee will be playing in his last Test series. 

 

England's last Test series was a 2-1 loss in Pakistan. England lost the last two Tests of the series and struggled against spin. Ollie Pope will do the wicketkeeping duties in place of Jordan Cox. Jacob Bethell will make his Test debut at No. 3.
