IND vs NZ Match Prediction for 1st Test:
If weather permits, India are no doubt the favorites to hammer New Zealand and take a 1-0 lead. Kane Williamson is set to miss the first Test, and pace spearhead Tim Southee has stepped down from captaincy after a 2-0 defeat in Sri Lanka. India is on the top of their game and is looking just unstoppable at home at the moment. They haven’t lost a home Test series since 2012.
They recently defeated Bangladesh in the Kanpur Test despite just 35 overs of play on the first three days. Such has been the domination.
