1st Test starts today.
New Zealand won the previous Test series between the 2 sides 1-0 earlier this year and will go in slight favourites however home conditions as well as Sri Lanka's 2-0 series victory over South Africa in South Africa means they are certainly more than a fair chance.
This series is also the first for both sides in the World Test Championship (WTC). Given that it is only a 2 Test series both Tests are worth 60 points which could be massive especially for NZ's hopes of eventually qualifying for the final. For some reason we also still have a separate Test Rankings to the WTC and if NZ win 2-0 they'll go to no.1 for the first time in their history.
