IND vs NZ Match Preview
When it comes to Test matches played at home, India has a clear advantage over New Zealand. India has won 16 of the 34 Tests it has played against New Zealand, with the remaining 16 ending in a draw. Only two wins have been achieved by the Kiwis, and they have yet to win a Test series on Indian soil. To make matters worse, the Kiwis have failed to win either of their last two Test series in India, which took place in 2016 and 2012.
New Zealand, on the other hand, will be trying to improve its record in India. The Kiwis have recently performed well in all three formats, appearing in ICC event finals such as the 2019 World Cup, WTC Final, and the recently ended T20 World Cup 2021. They have veteran campaigners such as Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Tom Latham, Tim Southee, and others who have already begun their preparation for the series.
