New Zealand vs Sri Lanka 1st Test Today Match Prediction

After defeating Pakistan in a three match test series with 2-1 in U.A.E, New Zealand now buckles up to take on Sri Lanka in the test format. The first test match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be held at Basin Reserve, Wellington from 15th to 19th December 2018.

Previously, New Zealand defeated Pakistan in a nail biting test match to win the test series. Though, Pakistan played marvelous cricket in that series with Yasir Shah breaking 82 years old bowling record, but in the end New Zealand had the last laugh. Apart from it, playing at their home grounds will also be a plus point for New Zealand team.

Whereas, Sri Lanka were recently defeated by England at home with 3-0 in test Series. So, Lankan cricket will also be in question in this time. Sri Lanka needs to play good and sensible cricket in this series to mark victory.

Prediction: 

New Zealand will win this test. Previously, they defeated Pakistan and now it is time for a home series victory against Sri Lanka. In addition Kiwi cricket fans will love to see playing New Zealand at home grounds.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will look forward to break their loosing streak. They had had enough against England and now the time has come for them to make some noise.
