New Zealand has had a challenging run recently, with three consecutive losses in their last five matches. They have not scored in their last two games, 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.
