New Zealand are all set to host first Test of the three-match at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. The highly anticipated match will be played on Wednesday, November 28. This game is pivotal for both teams, as the final spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 hangs in the balance.

Playing at their home ground, New Zealand will make the most of familiar conditions and to boost their chances of securing a place in the WTC 2025 final, the Kiwis will need to win all three remaining games in the championship.

Their recent series win in India have already strengthened their chances. If New Zealand manages to win all three Tests against England, their winning percentage will rise to 64.29%. While this won't guarantee them a spot in the final, it will keep them in the running. However, a single loss could drop their percentage to 57.14%, leaving their qualification dependent on other results.

On the other hand, England have a steep hill to climb, they recently faced two defeats in Pakistan which significantly hurt their chances. Even if they try to pull off a 3-0 victory against hosts, their highest possible win percentage will be 48.86%. While mathematically possible to qualify, it’s highly unlikely unless several other results miraculously fall in their favour.
