New Zealand host Australia for 2 Test matches, starting from 29th February 2024. Both these nations are heavyweights in international cricket and this series will be exciting and pulsating at the same time.
The two teams had crossed swords with each other in a 3-match T20I series and it was bossed by the visitors. Australia completed a 3-0 whitewash over the Kiwis and it was a special victory for the visitors.
Tim Southee and co. desperately need a change in their fortunes in the longest format of the game. They are presently in the top position in the World Test Championship (WTC) points table and would be hoping to capitalise on their pole position.
Australia had defeated New Zealand 3-0, the last time these two teams had locked horns with each other in this format in 2019-20. New Zealand would be hoping to exorcise the ghosts and bring about a special performance in their own turf.
The Kiwis would be dearly missing the services of experienced left-arm seamer Neil Wagner, who has called it quits from international cricket on 27th February 2024. He had taken 260 wickets in 64 Test matches.
