IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: Team India is all set to host New Zealand in a two-match Test series and the first Test match is scheduled to start from 25 November (Thursday) at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Both these sides are coming into this match after having faced quite different results in their previous few outings. The Indian team last played Test cricket in England where they ended with a lead of 2-1 and performed remarkably well in some really challenging conditions. On the other hand, New Zealand will be playing their first Test match since winning the final of the inaugural ICC World Test Championship against India earlier this year. Therefore, it will be really important for both these teams to contribute with their best of potentials in this first Test match of the series.

The pitch at the Green Park Stadium is expected to have some favourable conditions for the spin bowlers that will benefit both India and New Zealand. The conditions will improve for the batters as the game progresses when the pitch eases down a bit. The captain winning the toss should choose to bat first as batting in the fourth innings is never easy in the Indian conditions. Thus, picking more of spinners and all-rounders will be a good option from the fantasy cricket point of view.
