Team India got a clean sweep, but this team is going to make a shameful record at home.
The New Zealand team has created a very different image in Test cricket in the last few years. His team performs very well on its home ground, whereas his team’s performance on foreign soil has been very poor. The Kiwi team had also won the World Test Championship title during this period, but the year 2024 has been completely opposite for their team. He had performed brilliantly in the recently played Test series against India and defeated Team India 3-0. At the same time, his performance at home is becoming very poor.
Kiwi team on this brink after 68 years
The New Zealand team has performed very poorly in its home Test series this year. Meanwhile, his team is close to making an embarrassing record. His team has lost four consecutive Test matches at home this year. The Kiwis are on the verge of equaling their worst record on their home ground. They lost five consecutive Test matches in New Zealand between 1955 and 1956. After 68 years, their team under the captaincy of Tom Latham is very close to equaling this unwanted record and looking at the way they have lost the two matches against England, it seems that they may also lose the third and final Test of the series. .
Defeated by Australia and England
Before this series against England, his team has lost two matches against Australia. New Zealand had lost against Australia by 172 runs and three wickets in Wellington and Christchurch earlier this year respectively. After this, in the ongoing Test series against England, they faced defeat by eight wickets and 323 runs in Christchurch and Wellington respectively, which is their biggest defeat so far on home ground. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to avoid equaling their worst record at home in 68 years. The next match of the series will be played from 14th December.
