Will a bowler representing New Zealand achieve a five-wicket haul (taking 5 or more wickets in a single innings) on the first day of the 1st Test match against India, scheduled for November 19, 2026?

28%chance, per Kāla

Why

Historical data show five‑wicket hauls on the first day of a Test are rare (roughly 5% of Tests). New Zealand’s current pace pool includes recent five‑wicket taker Blair Tickner and the ever‑threatening Kyle Jamieson, raising the likelihood modestly. Considering venue, conditions and the strength of India’s batting, the probability is estimated around 15%.
