Match Preview
Australia enter this tournament after 2-0 series win over Pakistan and with that, they have 4 wins in 7 Tests in ICC World Test Championship. The hosts have retained the same squad for this match. Mitchell Starc has a minor toe injury but that is less likely to prevent him from playing.
The Kiwis, after drawing the second match against England, managed to win the Test series 1-0. They have got just three days to prepare for the opening Test of the series. The pink ball to be used for the day-night Test and the heat factor are the areas of concern for the visitors. Trent Boult and Colin de Grandhomme returned to the squad after missing the final Test against England, but they need to pass the fitness test.

Toss Prediction
On this ground, there is only one Test played here so far, which was between Australia and India, which Australia won by 146 runs after scoring 326 runs batting first. The hosts bowled out India at 140 runs in the fourth innings to claim the win. The team winning the toss should bat first.
Winning Prediction
The two sides played 57 Tests so far, out of which Australia won 31, lost just 8 and 18 Tests were drawn. Though both the teams enter this game after a series win, beating Aussies in Australia has never been an easy task for any visitors. The hosts also possess more quality batsmen that suites the Test format.
Overall statistics are in favor of the hosts, who also look to be in better shape at the moment. Lack of practice and soaring temperature may not go in favor of the visitors.
Australia will defeat New Zealand in the opening Test Match of the series!
