New Zealand will host England in the third and final Test of their three-match series, starting December 14 at Seddon Park in Hamilton. The visitors, who lead the series 2-0, are on the brink of achieving a clean sweep after commanding victories in the first two Tests.
England will look to maintain their dominance and secure a whitewash, adding another feather to their cap in the ongoing World Test Championship cycle. Their consistent performances with both bat and ball have been the key to their success in the series so far.
For the hosts, this match presents an opportunity to salvage pride and avoid a series defeat at home. With Tim Southee set to play his final Test, the team will aim to deliver a strong performance as a fitting farewell to their veteran pacer, who has been a cornerstone of New Zealand’s bowling attack for over a decade.

Early in the match, bowlers are likely to benefit from significant movement and bounce.
