The
West Indies will embark on their 11th tour of New Zealand with a
two-match Test series which kick starts in Wellington on 1st December
2017.
On the previous 10 tours, the West Indies have played 27 Tests
winning 7, losing 10 and 10 Tests ending in draws.
Out
of the 10 Test series played in New Zealand, West Indies have triumphed
in 3 series (their last series win being in 1994-1995), New Zealand
have won 5 series with 2 series ending in draws.
West
Indies last won a Test on New Zealand soil in February 1995. Since them
having played 10 Tests in New Zealand, the West Indies have lost on 6
occasions with 4 Tests ending in a draw.
The
New Zealand team is fresh after a long lay off. After the early exit in
the Champions Trophy in June, 2017, the New Zealand team had a short
ODI and a T20 series against India in October, 2017.
Although
the series was not entirely fruitful, they had their moments.
The New
Zealand Test team will be raring to usher their new season by thumping
their authority over an opposition whom they have enjoyed a lot of
success recently.
Though
the West Indies won a Test in England and Zimbabwe recently, they have a
lot of catching up as far as Test cricket is concerned.
The Test team
is less settled as compared to their ODI and T 20 counterparts.
New Zealand are currently ranked 4th in the ICC Test rankings with West Indies languishing at number 8.
