New Zealand comes into this match with a challenging recent record, having lost their last three matches. They have not scored in their last two outings, which raises concerns about their attacking efficiency. With a 15-day rest since their last match, they should be well-rested, but the lack of competitive fixtures may hinder their sharpness. Fortunately, they have no injuries or suspensions to contend with, allowing them to field their strongest available squad.
