New Zealand v Sri Lanka 1st Test Match Betting Tips & Predictions
Let’s check out our New Zealand v Sri Lanka 1st Test Match betting tips.

Wager your cash on top New Zealand batsman or top New Zealand bowler: who will score most runs for Sri Lanka in the game and which of the visitors will take most wickets.
New Zealand Won Last Time
New Zealand go into this series with confidence in the camp following a thoroughly impressive win over Pakistan last time out. In what proved to be an entertaining three games, New Zealand proved fastest out of the traps. They claimed a 1-0 lead, but saw their opponents peg them back to tie things up at 1-1 heading into the all-important decider.
It seemed to be anyone’s guess who would hold their nerve and claim the win. However, in the end, it was the tourists who triumphed in Abu Dhabi. The eventual winners took the final game with a stunning 123 run margin; that left no complaints from either as the results were settled.
It was a debut Will Somerville will recall fondly for the rest of his playing days after exploding on to the scene in fine style. The off-spinner kept his cool and showed composure way beyond his international experience to bank three key wickets; that proved the turning point that nudged things in his side’s favour. Somerville played a huge part; however, he couldn’t do it alone and had Ajax Patel and Tim Southee to thank for chipping in with a sizeable effort.
