𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs England 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 06 ,​Friday​​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :​ 03:30 PM IST​​​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Basin Reserve, Wellington, New Zealand​ 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 2nd Test 2024 New Zealand’s challenge to level the series after shocking loss Bangladesh Women vs Ireland Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand will face a tough challenge as they take on England in the 2nd Test Match of the three-match series. New Zealand had a poor outing in the last game in Christchurch, losing the game by 8 wickets. The Kiwis will look to use the home advantage and level the series as England aims to take an unassailable lead.  New Zealand has enjoyed good form in the last few games. They have a strong batting lineup and enjoy a good record at this venue. Despite their win in the last game, England will be up for a strong challenge. It will be interesting to see if New Zealand can level the series or if England seals it with another confident performance.  TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Tom Latham and his men would have their backs against the wall in this game. The side must overcome its poor show in the last game and work on its basics. The batting lineup struggled in the last game with its consistency. England will come hard on them, and Latham expects a strong show from his key players.  Devon Conway failed in the last game and must deliver a steady start with Tom Latham. Kane Williamson’s form is good news for the team, and he must add runs in the middle order with Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell. Glenn Phillips and Tom Blundell are good lower-order batsmen and must do well.  England Preview Ben Stokes’ team was under pressure in the last game against a confident New Zealand. However, the team pulled its weight to register a clinical win. The batting lineup did well, and the bowlers were up to the task. Stokes expects a similar show from his team in this game as they aim for an unassailable lead.  Zak Crawley had a poor outing in the last game, and he must improve his show and deliver a steady start with Ben Duckett. Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, and Harry Brook are in good form, making the middle order formidable. The team has depth in the batting and expects a good show from Ollie Pope, Ben Stokes, and Chris Woakes.  Weather Conditions We will have clear skies over Wellington, and the conditions will be good for a game. The wicket will be lively, and fast bowlers will enjoy bowling under the clouds. Batsmen have to play to the merit of the ball. The average first-innings score is 318 runs, and the team batting first will be happy to have 400 runs in the first innings.  NZ vs ENG Pitch Report The pitch at Basin Reserve, Wellington, has a lot for the fast bowlers early on in the game, and batsmen must be watchful on the first two days. Batsmen who play the waiting game have done well at this venue. There isn’t much on this surface for the spinners, and they must use their variations to succeed. Toss: To Bowl In the last five games, the side bowling first has won three times. The wicket has moisture on the first two days, and batting conditions improve as the game progresses. The side winning the toss will look to take advantage of the conditions and won’t hesitate to bowl first.

New Zealand vs England, ENG vs NZ 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 28,​Thursday​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 03:30 AM IST​​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Hagley Oval, Christchurch, New Zealand𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 1st Test 2024 England look to win a Test series in New Zealand for the first time since 2007 whereas New Zealand are sniffing the World Test Championship Final! New Zealand vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis Test cricket has suddenly become box office again. From Bangladesh beating Pakistan away in September to Pakistan then losing to a record breaking England side before then coming back to win the series, then India losing 3-0 at home to New Zealand, not to mention India thrashing Australia in Perth earlier this week in spite of being bowled out for 150 in their first innings. It’s a great format when it produces results, series and matches like this! TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Confidence in New Zealand cricket is at an all time high after the men won 3-0 in India only a couple of weeks after their women’s team had won the T20 World Cup! And taking on England at home, with the ‘Bazball’ approach always leaving the door open to potential defeats, New Zealand could yet add another 3-0 whitewash before the year is out. Looking at New Zealand’s XI, there is so much batting talent that the opposition bowling attack will have to work hard to bowl them out. Rachin Ravindra is their lastest star turn and the experience Kane Williamson is still able to deliver. England Preview There will be a debut for England in the number three position as Jacob Bethell, who made his international bow in ODI and T20I cricket over the last month, enters the Test side. This is all despite him never batting at that number before and averaging only 25.44 from 30 innings for Warwickshire in first-class cricket. If that doesn’t sound like the most intimidating pick by the tourists, then the position of Ollie Pope, who experienced a very poor tour of Pakistan in October, taking the gloves and being in the side is also one of interest. He drops down to number six due to the added responsibility of keeping. Weather Conditions Although no rain is forecast across all five days of the Test, the temperature is forecast to drop from 26 degrees on day one to only 15 degrees on day two before getting back into the low 20s for Sunday and Monday. NZ vs ENG Pitch Report This is likely to be a good venue for bowling with the seam and swing bowlers best set to make the most of a green pitch. We are not expecting much reverse swing or spin to be a weapon and whoever bats first will be pleased to reach 300. Toss: To Bowl We are expecting to see a green seamer in Christchurch and it will not be greener than in the opening session of the Test. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to bowl first in this match.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, SL vs NZ 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 19, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 3rd ODI 2024 New Zealand’s challenge to avoid a whitewash  Sri Lanka vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the third and final game of the ODI series and hosts Sri Lank have already won convincingly. In the rain-affected 2nd ODI, the Sri Lankans held their nerves to win the game by 3 wickets. They will aim for a clean sweep and ride on the momentum. The young New Zealand team has struggled on this tour, and they would like to avoid a series of whitewashes and end their Asian tour on a high note.  Sri Lanka has dominated teams at home in the last few series. They have lost only once in the last seven games, boosting the team’s confidence. In contrast, New Zealand has always struggled in Sri Lanka. The batting lineup lacks experience in these conditions. It remains to be seen if the side can put up a strong show in this game and avoid a series whitewash. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Charith Asalanka will be pleased with how his team has gone about this series. They were favorites to win in home conditions and take full advantage of the dusty tracks. The bowling attack has done well for the side, but Asalanka expects a better show from his batsmen as they have struggled against New Zealand’s bowlers.  New Zealand Preview Mitchell Santner’s team came to Sri Lanka with high confidence after the historic series win in India. However, it has been a massive wake-up call for the team that fielded several young players in this series. The Kiwis will fight for their pride with the series already in Sri Lanka’s bag. Their batsmen have struggled, and Santner would like to see a better performance from his batters.  The top order hasn’t done well, and the side will need a good show from Will Young and Tim Robinson at the top. Mark Chapman batted well in the last game and must build partnerships with Glenn Phillips and Henry Nicholls in the middle order. Mitchell Santner, Mitch Hay, and Michael Bracewell are good finishers, and their role in this game will be crucial.  Weather Conditions We would see overcast skies over Pallekele, and rain may cause disruptions. The wicket here has produced lots of runs in the past, as batsmen can play their strokes freely. The average first innings score here is 248 runs. The side batting first would be eying a total of 300 to feel safe. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is a big venue. We have seen batsmen score runs as the outfield is fast, and the ball comes to the bat nicely. Fast bowlers do well under cloudy skies and get the ball to move. The wicket here offers lots of assistance to the spinners as the ball grips the surface and turns sharply. Toss: To Bat It is a good wicket to bat on at the start, but it gets slower in the second half. The spinners will be difficult to bat against in the second innings. The side winning the toss would look to take advantage of the conditions by batting first.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, SL vs NZ 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 17, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 2nd ODI 2024 Sri Lanka will be aiming to secure their ODI series against New Zealand at the earliest opportunity on Sunday in Pallekele. Sri Lanka vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis After rain knocked out over 23 overs of action in Dambulla on Wednesday, both sets of players, officials and supporters will be hoping for a full game of ODI cricket in Pallekele on Sunday. And after a drawn T20I series, it would be great to see 50 overs per side in this second ODI which, if won by the tourists, will setup a decider in the third and final ODI. Sri Lanka showed their experience of local conditions in the first match of the series with two batters making centuries and New Zealand will have to learn fast ahead of this game – easier said than done considering three of their XI on Wednesday were making their ODI debuts! TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka have built a strong group of batters and that was shown in the first match of the series when even with Pathum Nissanka contributing only 12 runs at the top of the order and Kamindu Mendis not even coming to the wicket at number seven, they were still able to post 324.5 from 49.2 overs. Avishka Fernando made a century alongside keeper-batter Kusal Mendis who top scored with 143 and currently holds the honour of the leading run scorer in international cricket in 2024! New Zealand Preview Considering there were three ODI debutants in the New Zealand team in the opening game of the series in Dambulla, the Black Caps will turn up in Pallekele knowing that they have plenty of players who can perform to a higher level in this match. Opening batters, Will Young and debutant Tim Robinson, impressed with a stand of 88 but there was precious little else from the experienced upper-middle order of Henry Nicholls, Mark Chapman and Glenn Phillips who will all be desperate to contribute more in this game. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, there could be some thunderstorms in and around the venue in the hours before the toss but currently it looks set to be  dry throughout this ODI. The temperature is unlikely to drop below 23 degrees by the end of the match and will be as high as 31 degrees for the opening ten overs. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Pallekele is a wonderful venue to play international cricket but is one where the bowlers, particularly the pacers, have to work very hard for their wickets. It is usually a little easier for the spinners but overall it is a batter-friendly venue and we could well see team totals of 350+ in this game. Toss: To Bowl With each of the last four ODIs at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium won by the team batting second, we predict that both captains will go out for the toss wanting to bowl first in this game.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 13, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 1st ODI 2024 Sri Lanka’s aim to continue with a good record at home Sri Lanka vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the first match of the three-match ODI series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The two teams shared the honors in the T20 series, with New Zealand making a strong comeback in the second game after losing the first. The Kiwis have enjoyed a good tour of the subcontinent and shall look to build on the momentum as the Sri Lankans look to hold the fort strong.  Sri Lanka is enjoying an excellent run at home. The team has lost only once in the last 10 games and has been a tough side to beat. They have a strong spin attack, which has troubled batters in these conditions. New Zealand doesn’t have a good record in Sri Lanka, and it remains to be seen if they can do things differently this time. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Charith Asalanka and his team have seen New Zealand’s strengths in the last T20. They will be up for a good fight in this game. The side defeated West Indies in the last ODI series at home, and the players will take inspiration from that. Asalanka expects a strong show from his players to take a lead in the series.  New Zealand Preview Mitchell Santner will be proud of his team’s comeback in the last game. They started the T20 series with a loss but finished on a high. The team is missing some of its key players in this series, who are out with injury. Santner will look to lead from the front in this game and help his team to an early lead.  Weather Conditions Dambulla will have overcast skies. The wicket is slow, which will likely make life tough for the batters as they will have to play well against balls that stop on them. Spinners would like bowling on this surface. The average first innings score is 212 runs, and the side batting first needs 300 on the board. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla, is a tough wicket for the batters as the ball doesn’t come onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers don’t see any assistance from the surface, and they must rely on their skills alone. It has been a good hunting ground for the spinners in the past.

SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis Host Sri Lanka will be looking to continue their winning ways when they take on New Zealand in the opening match of the T20I series played at Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla on Saturday. Under new head coach Sanath Jayasuriya, Sri Lanka has put together a number of good results across all formats. Captain Charith Asalanka will be hoping that the side can deliver a clinical performance with bat and ball in this fixture. On the other hand, New Zealand will be making their return to the T20 format after almost five months. Interim captain Mitchell Santner will be hoping that the side can adjust to the conditions and put on a decent show against Islanders. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, captain Charith Asalanka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa to deliver the bulk of the runs. Since Jun 2004, Pathum Nissanka has topped the batting charts for Sri Lanka in the T20 Format. In nine matches played, Nissanka has accumulated 291 runs at a strike rate of 133.48 with two half-centuries to his name. New Zealand Preview In the batting department, the side will be depending on the likes of Glenn Phillips, Dean Foxcroft, Mark Chapman, Tim Robinson and Mitchell Hay to deliver the bulk of the runs. In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the likes of Zak Foulkes, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, Jacob Duffy, and Ish Sodhi to deliver timely breakthroughs. Weather Conditions The average first innings score at Dambulla in the T20s is around 176 runs. The highest total posted here is Afghanistan’s 209 for 5 against Sri Lanka.The match was won by Afghanistan by just three runs. The weather forecast for Saturday’s game is far from ideal as thundery showers are expected to take place during the course of the match. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla is going to host the opening match of the T20I series played between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. New Zealand will take heart from the fact that they have last two T20s played against Sri Lanka. Toss: To Bowl Dambulla has proven to be a great venue for chasing, with two matches out of last three won by side batting second. With that record in mind, both the captains will be keen to win the toss and field first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Nov 01, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30​ AM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 3rd Test 2024 For India to confirm a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, they need to win at least four of their remaining six Tests, including the next one in Mumbai against New Zealand. India vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Team India have a lot to ponder as they get ready for the final Test of the series in Mumbai. They have been thoroughly dominated in the first two Tests by a clinical New Zealand and need to get their act together fast.  New Zealand Preview New Zealand have punched above their weight and have scripted a historic Test series win against India. They have been thorough in both the Tests and are looking good for making it 3-0. This has been a thorough team performance, with many heroes putting their hands up at crucial moments. In the previous Test, it was Mitchell Santner who took 13 wickets to destroy India’s batting unit on a spin-friendly surface. Ajaz Patel and Glenn Phillips have provided him solid support, while Tim Southee and William O’Rourke have been on point. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is a balanced track with support for batters and bowlers alike. It will likely be great for batting on the first two days with some assistance for fast bowlers, particularly in the morning session. There will be help for spinners, but it remains to be seen whether they prepare a rank turner. We reckon it should start turning more as the game progresses, but batters too will have a good time here. The pitch usually facilitates good bounce for the spinners and the fast bowlers. The weather in Mumbai for the five days of the Test is expected to be sunny, warm, and clear, with periods of light winds. It should be pleasant in the morning session.  IND vs NZ Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is 339. The highest total posted at the venue is India’s 631 versus England in 2016. This is unlikely to be a high-scoring Test, and the team batting first will look to set a score of around 350-400 runs. Batting in the first innings has been good here over the last six Tests, with 400-plus scores achieved five times in these matches. Toss: To Bat Both teams will be looking to bat first to put on a big score in the first innings and get ahead in the Test.

IND-W vs NZW Match Prediction & Analysis We are all set for a thrilling end to the three-match series, with the two teams level at 1-1 after the first two games. India Women suffered a 76-run loss in the last game to concede the lead to New Zealand Women. Poor bowling and batting from the Indians led to their loss, and the hosts will look to recover from that. The Kiwis will be happy with their form and aim to build on the momentum.   TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Harmanpreet Kaur will feel let down by her players in the last game. The batters and bowlers had a poor day at the office in the last game, and the team lost by a big margin. The side has struggled with its consistency in recent months. Their pride is at stake, and Kaur would like her players to mount a strong comeback and win this series.   New Zealand Preview Sophie Devine’s team will be confident after their strong comeback in the last game. The team struggled in the first game and performed clinically in the last contest with the bat and the ball. They have put the hosts under pressure, and Devine would like to take advantage of that with a strong show.   Weather Conditions The skies over Ahmedabad will be clear, and we expect a good batting surface. There will be a bit of slowness, creating doubt in batters’ minds. These are ideal bowling conditions for the spinners. The average first-inning score at this venue is 220 runs. The side batting first will be happy to have 260 on the board. IND-W vs NZW Pitch Report Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, offers something for the batters and bowlers. The wicket can surprise batters as the slowness makes the ball stop on them. Fast bowlers don’t have much going for them on this track. The ball turns sharply, making it a good track for the spinners. Toss: To Bat In the last two games, we have seen big wins for the teams that have batted first.

IND-W vs NZW Match Prediction & Analysis India Women’s team finally has something to cheer about after their disastrous performance in the T20 World Cup. The hosts defeated New Zealand Women by 59 runs in the 1st ODI of the three-match series. The team will now look to seal the series in the second game, taking advantage of the home conditions. For New Zealand, it is a must-win game to level the series.  The Indians enjoy playing at Ahmedabad, and in the last four games, the side has always emerged victorious. They will look to add to their record with another strong performance in this game. New Zealand has always had a problem against quality spin attacks, and it will be interesting to see if the team can overcome this handicap and win this game to keep their hopes alive. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Harmanpreet Kaur, who missed out the first game due to a niggle is expected to return to the team for this game. She will be proud of how her girls performed in the last game. They were under pressure after a poor show in the T20 World Cup but delivered a strong show with the bat and the ball.  New Zealand Preview Sophie Devine will be upset with her team’s batting efforts. They came into the series with a struggling batting lineup and didn’t find answers to this in the last game. The Indians will come hard at them after gaining confidence, and the New Zealand skipper will look to lead from the front in this game.  Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer must deliver a strong start, as their early exit can hurt the side. Sophie Devine will look to guide the innings in the middle order and build partnerships with Lauren Down and Brooke Halliday. The lower middle order is strong, and they need runs from Maddy Green, Amelia Kerr, and Isabella Gaze.  Weather Conditions The skies over Ahmedabad will be clear on October 27. The wicket will be good to bat, but the slowness will create doubts in the batters’ minds. Spinners will enjoy the conditions in this game as the ball turns sharply. In women’s cricket, the average first-inning score at this venue is 220 runs. The side batting first would like to have 260 on the board. IND-W vs NZW Pitch Report Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, balances it out between the batters and bowlers. The track can surprise batters with its dual-paced nature, but they can score runs once they get set in. Fast bowlers rely on their variations to earn rewards on this surface. It has been a happy hunting ground for the spinners as the ball can turn sharply.  Toss: To Bat The wicket played well in the 1st innings in the last game and slowed down in the second half. We expect similar conditions in this game; chasing a score won’t be easy. The side winning the toss won’t hesitate to bat first on this track.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 24, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30 AM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 2nd Test 2024 Will the hosts bounce back with a win in Pune and draw the series level? Can visitors do the unthinkable, securing a test series in India? India vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand bowlers took full advantage of favourable overcast conditions on the second day of the first test to bundle India out for 46, snatching the initiative. Although India did well to recover in the third innings and posted a 400+ total, it was never going to be enough to trouble a resurgent Kiwi side. They were sweating on Kane Williamson’s fitness, but reports are out confirming that the Kiwi legend is likely to miss another test to allow for more time to recover from an injury. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview The Bengaluru test worked in mysterious ways for the hosts. They folded to their lowest total (46) ever against New Zealand and then orchestrated a brave rear-guard in their second innings to end up with the highest innings total of the match (462), but it was nowhere near enough to stop the Kiwis drawing first blood in the series. Having elected to bat first, India showed no real intent to accumulate runs facing up to a lethal pace attack charging in with their tails up. They soaked up 31 overs and had just 46 runs on the board to show for it, as they struggled coming to grips with the Kiwi pacers. New Zealand Preview New Zealand are on cloud nine at the moment. They earned a hard-fought victory against India on Indian soil, all without the services of their finest batsmen ever, Kane Williamson. They really didn’t feel Kane’s absence, thanks to the manner in which the Indian batsmen meekly surrendered in the first innings. Rachin Ravindra impressed with a man of the match performance, notching up his first test hundred against India in the second innings and seeing off the chase in the fourth innings at Bengaluru, a venue that’s so close to his heart. Devon Conway showed great application in the second innings and was crucial to New Zealand’s chances of making a huge score, but he was dismissed nine runs shy of what would have been a terrific century. Will Young got solid starts in both the innings and helped himself to good form going into the second test. Weather Conditions The pitch flattens out over time and gets easier to bat on as the match progresses, so teams batting second can truly capitalize and put a huge total on board. In general, there is quite a bit of assistance for both spinners and pacers, but spinners usually dominate proceedings in the latter part of the test. Runs in the first and second innings are crucial, as the wicket could get a little tricky to bat on with the ball starting to turn square. Weather-wise, the forecast is sunny for the first three days with the chances of rain increasing over the last two days. IND vs NZ Pitch Report The match will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. India lost their last match to Australia 5 years ago, courtesy a spin-bowling masterclass from left arm spinner Steve O’Keefe who outdid the hosts’ spinners in both innings. Toss: To Bowl Pune is one of those venues where losing the toss wouldn’t put you at a disadvantage straightaway. But, if the wicket has a bit of a green tinge to it and the conditions are conducive to bowlers, it’s always safe to field first.
