Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, 1st Test, Dream11 Prediction: Sri Lanka and New Zealand will face each other in a historic test match, starting on September 18 (Wednesday) at the Galle International Stadium. It is historic because it will be a six-day test due to the presidential election in Sri Lanka.

This is the first of the two-match test series between the two, which is part of the World Test Championship. Sri Lanka are coming off a 1-2 series loss in England. On the other hand, the one-off test for New Zealand was completed rained out a few days back.

SL vs NZ: Ground Pitch Report

The Galle International Stadium is a spin-dominant venue in Sri Lanka. As seen in recent times, Sri Lanka offer a spin wicket whenever any team travels here. So, something similar will be expected for the first game as well. The team that can play the spin well will win, as both sides have quality spin units.
