The Sri Lankan cricket team will lock horns against New Zealand for the first Test match of the two-match Test series, which is set to commence on September 18 at Galle International Cricket Stadium. The hosts will be up against the Kiwis with a short turnaround after what unfortunately turned out to be a joyous season, especially after the win against England at the Oval.
The last time both sides faced each other in a Test series, New Zealand won both games last year. However, that win was at home, and performing and winning the Test matches outside the home is a daunting task for the Black Caps, who, despite winning the inaugural World Test Championship, haven't won a single overseas assignment since 2019.
As the team gears up for the upcoming clash, all eyes will be on the thrilling competition set to unfold on the cricket field. Ahead of the game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy tips, the pitch report, the top player picks, and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.
