NZ VS WI 1st TEST, Dream11 Team Prediction for New Zealand vs West Indies TEST Series 2025 Preview: Despite good performances in some matches, the West Indies have lost the T20I and ODI series in New Zealand. They won the first game of the tournament, and after that they lost seven on the trot. Now these two teams are heading towards the test series. The series is part of the ongoing World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle and is important for both sides. New Zealand will start their WTC campaign with this series and will be looking to get off to a winning start.
The first test is placed to be held at Hagley Oval in Christchurch between December 2 and 6, starting at 3:30 AM IST. Roston Chase will be the captain of West Indies. He has yet to win a single test as captain. So that will be on his mind. Kemar Roach is back for West Indies, strengthening their bowling. For New Zealand, Kane Williamson is back, and New Zealand are looking stronger in both departments.

NZ VS WI Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
The conditions at Hagley Oval are favoring the fast bowling. So the team that will bat well in these conditions will do better. The toss will be important, as the record suggests that bowling first is ideal because there is a chance of rain as well on the first two days.
If we look at the two sides, both have good pace attacks to use these conditions. But when it comes to batting, New Zealand have been one step ahead of West Indies on this tour so far. That is what we can expect in this game as well. So, we believe New Zealand are expected to win the first test at Hagley Oval.
