The stage is set as India will take on New Zealand in a three-match Test series beginning on October 16 (Wednesday). The first Test will be held at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, starting at 9:30 AM. Led by Rohit Sharma, the Indian team will be filled with confidence after their impressive victory over Bangladesh in the recent Test series. If India manages to secure a 3-0 victory over New Zealand at home, they could potentially qualify for the WTC final.
On the other hand, New Zealand comes into the series following a 0-2 loss in their recent assignment against Sri Lanka in September 2024. The Kiwis will be eager to deliver a strong performance against India to maintain their chances of qualifying for the WTC 2025 final next year.
