England vs. New Zealand 3rd Test Match Predictions: Would England Be Able To Ace This Match As Well?

The third and final Test match between England and New Zealand begins on Friday morning at Headingley in Leeds. After victories at Lord's and Trent Bridge earlier this month, the home team had already closed up the series. New Zealand has had a difficult tour, with several illnesses and injuries hurting the group. Continue reading as we preview this Test. This game will begin at 13:00 p.m. Moscow time.

England Team Form

After winning the first two games of the series, England appears to be a squad full of energy, direction, and belief. We anticipate them arriving to Headingley full of confidence. The home team remained unaltered ahead of the Trent Bridge Test, with Jack Leach replacing Matt Parkinson as the lone spinner. There are injury and illness concern around James Anderson and captain Ben Stokes, but both players are expected to be in the XI on Thursday morning.

England has rapidly turned things around under their new captain and coach. They are aiming for their third consecutive Test victory.

Key Players

• Joe Root
• Jonny Bairstow
• Stuart Broad

New Zealand Form

New Zealand has been a ghost of the team that came to England last year and defeated the hosts before going on to win the World Test Championship against India. They've battled for top-order runs, which has to change in this Test. Following Colin de Grandhomme's injury, all-rounder Michael Bracewell made his Test debut for New Zealand last week at Trent Bridge. Kane Williamson was away due to sickness but has now fully recovered, but Kyle Jamieson has gone home with a stress injury to his lower back.

New Zealand has lost three consecutive Tests for the first time since 2020, and they are hoping to prevent a fourth consecutive Test defeat for the first time since 2016.

Key Players

• Kane Williamson
• Daryl Mitchell
• Trent Boult

Expert Betting Tips

Despite the fact that New Zealand has had players return home and has already lost the series, we expect them to put up a determined and professional effort in Leeds. They still have match winners with bat and ball, but we believe England will win the Test and capture the series 3-0.
