NZ vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis
Test cricket has suddenly become box office again. From Bangladesh beating Pakistan away in September to Pakistan then losing to a record breaking England side before then coming back to win the series, then India losing 3-0 at home to New Zealand, not to mention India thrashing Australia in Perth earlier this week in spite of being bowled out for 150 in their first innings. It's a great format when it produces results, series and matches like this!
England are out of contention for the World Test Championship Final and have now not made it to the showpiece fixture in all three editions of the trophy. New Zealand on the other hand, won the first ever WTC in 2021 and a win in this Test would see them move above Australia into second place on the ladder.
There is plenty to play for in Christchurch, a ground where the ball will do something on day one and with a new Crowe-Thorpe Trophy up for grabs.

TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Preview
Confidence in New Zealand cricket is at an all time high after the men won 3-0 in India only a couple of weeks after their women's team had won the T20 World Cup!
And taking on England at home, with the 'Bazball' approach always leaving the door open to potential defeats, New Zealand could yet add another 3-0 whitewash before the year is out.
Looking at New Zealand's XI, there is so much batting talent that the opposition bowling attack will have to work hard to bowl them out. Rachin Ravindra is their lastest star turn and the experience Kane Williamson is still able to deliver.
Matt Henry is likely to be the main threat with the ball.
New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:
Will Young, Devon Conway, Tom Latham (c), Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell (wk), Glenn Phillips, Jacob Duffy, Tim Southee, Matt Henry
New Zealand Actual Playing XI:
Daryl Mitchell, Kane Williamson, Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips, Nathan Smith, Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Tom Blundell, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, William O'Rourke
England Preview
There will be a debut for England in the number three position as Jacob Bethell, who made his international bow in ODI and T20I cricket over the last month, enters the Test side. This is all despite him never batting at that number before and averaging only 25.44 from 30 innings for Warwickshire in first-class cricket.
If that doesn't sound like the most intimidating pick by the tourists, then the position of Ollie Pope, who experienced a very poor tour of Pakistan in October, taking the gloves and being in the side is also one of interest. He drops down to number six due to the added responsibility of keeping.
Shoaib Bashir will be the only front-line spinner in the side and skipper Ben Stokes will take on the all-round role as he returns to his country of birth for this contest.
England Predicted Playing XI:
Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ollie Pope (wk), Ben Stokes (c), Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, Shoaib Bashir
England Actual Playing XI:
Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Joe Root, Zak Crawley, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Ollie Pope, Brydon Carse, Shoaib Bashir
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Although no rain is forecast across all five days of the Test, the temperature is forecast to drop from 26 degrees on day one to only 15 degrees on day two before getting back into the low 20s for Sunday and Monday.
NZ vs ENG Pitch Report
This is likely to be a good venue for bowling with the seam and swing bowlers best set to make the most of a green pitch. We are not expecting much reverse swing or spin to be a weapon and whoever bats first will be pleased to reach 300.
Toss: To Bowl
We are expecting to see a green seamer in Christchurch and it will not be greener than in the opening session of the Test. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to bowl first in this match.
NZ vs ENG
Winning Prediction
After winning all three Tests in India, it is very hard to look beyond New Zealand taking this opening Test of the series! England are a side who can never be written off but their 'Bazball' attacking approach has not reaped many rewards recently and defeat in this match will mean only one win from their last five Tests. We are predicting a home win in Christchurch.
We are backing New Zealand to win!
