As the second day of the third match of the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand came to an end, the match took a very exciting turn. In the second day’s match, India was restricted to 263 runs in the first innings, 28 points ahead of New Zealand’s first innings score. Thereafter, when the day’s play came to an end, New Zealand scored 171 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in the second innings, leading by 143 runs. Under the current circumstances, the Indian team’s goal of scoring around 150 points in the fourth game of this game is considered a certainty. Under such circumstances, it will not be easy for them to achieve this goal. The goal came in the fourth inning of the game.
The 150-plus run chase has been successful only once at the Wankhede Stadium so far.
The match, played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, has seen strong performances from the spin bowlers of both teams so far and in such circumstances, it will not be easy for India to chase down the target in the fourth innings. In Test cricket, only once so far has a team managed to chase a target of over 150 runs in the fourth innings at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In 2000, South Africa achieved a target of 163 in the fourth innings of a Test match at the Wankhede Stadium during the tour of India, but never again achieved a target of 150 or more at that venue after failing to score in an innings. Successfully achieved. In the 2004 Test match between India and Australia held here, the Australian team had a target of 107 runs in the fourth innings, but ended up scoring only 93 runs.
The highest order of the Indian team will be in charge
India’s batsmen have not performed as expected at all in the Test matches against New Zealand so far, with captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s batting going completely silent. In such a situation, India will have to come up with a better game with the bat if they want to chase down the target in the fourth innings, with Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant scoring half-centuries once again. Have expectations. Game 1.
