Team India will look to continue their winning streak in the World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle when they face New Zealand in the first of the three-Tests series at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, starting on Wednesday (October 16).

Rohit Sharma-led India are fresh from a dominating 2-0 series whitewash against Bangladesh, while New Zealand is coming into the series on the back of a disappointing 0-2 series loss in Sri Lanka.

The India vs New Zealand series will be crucial in the WTC 2025 final race. India currently lead the standings with a win percentage of 74.24 and are well-poised to reach their third successive title clash, while 2021 champions New Zealand are in sixth with a win percentage of 37.50.

Following a winless run, New Zealand's chances of a second WTC final look slim, but they will look to put up a challenge against India in their own backyard, where they have won only 2 times so far.
