NZ vs ENG 1st Test Preview:

The thrills of the red-ball cricket are coming back into Kiwi soil. After a historic Test series win against India, New Zealand is all set to host England in a three-match Test series. Being a part of the World Test Championship cycle, the series is going to be crucial for both sides. Even if England has a moderate chance, New Zealand’s qualification scenario will be more clear if they perform well in the series.

Before stepping into the Test series, New Zealand got a huge boost. They whitewashed India in a three-match Test series on Indian soil. That was a huge boost for them. Throughout the series, the Kiwis become dominant in every unit. Rachin Ravindra’s outstanding form, Mitchell Stantner’s amazing bowling dominance along with Ajaz Patel’s last Test match brilliance sealed the historic series win against India.

On the other hand, England’s last Test assignment was disappointing for them. They faced Pakistan in a three-match Test series. After a massive win in the first Test match of the series, England struggled later on. In the second match, they faced a big defeat of 152 runs. With that series got balanced. In the decider Test match of the series, England’s entire lineup collapsed. They lost the series by a 2-1 margin. In the upcoming series, they will try hard to bounce back.
