NZ Vs SL 1st Test - Betting Tips & Prediction

After drawing the warm-up game against President’s XI, the visitors are now preparing for New Zealand vs Sri Lanka 1st Test that has been scheduled for December 10 at The University Oval in Dunedin.

After starting slow, Captain Mathews lead his side to a draw in the warm-up game in Queenstown. Kithuruwan Vithanage and Udara Jayasundera also batted really well. The opening game is expected to be an interesting affair. However, there is a major blow to visitors before the commencement of series as Dhammika Prasad suffered a back injury in the previous game and he has been rested for the rest of the games. He was expected to lead the pace attack for Lankans, but now uncapped pacer Vishwa Fernando has been roped in to replace him.

In the last match held at this venue in 2015, the players in team New Zealand were able to manage an impressive ODI win. On the other hand, Lankans haven’t played any Test match here ever. However, what comes as a surprise is the fact that the hosts have decided to retain 12 of the 16 players who were part of the squad that played Aussies.
