Kiwis look to dominate WI again to kick off WTC campaign

December 02, 2025

New Zealand will be looking to extend their dominance over the West Indies and get their World Test Championship (WTC) campaign off to a flying start when they host the Caribbean islanders in the series opener starting at Hagley Oval on Tuesday.

The Black Caps, who beat the tourists 3-1 in Twenty20 series and swept their one-day series 3-0 in November, will be confident of similar dominance in this month's three tests in Christchurch, Wellington and Tauranga.

New Zealand won the inaugural WTC title in 2021 and know how vital it will be to win test series in familiar conditions if they are to earn the chance to get to the 2027 final, especially after four losses in seven home tests in 2024 scuppered their last campaign.
