India has enough on the board to win the match.
Nah, NZ should comfortably chase 150 runs here. Sun is out and plenty of overs left.
Kohli is a big panauti for us.Silent Kane runs rings around loudmouth Kohli. lol.
But small chance we still have if there is spin in the pitch.
If no spin, might as well shake hands and end it.![]()
Not true. We have been poor to very poor for some time now, in all conditions. England exposed quite a bit in our home series 3 months back.

What if it spins?
Shami and Ishant should bowl in tandem
The actual amount of turn won’t matter unless it is really sharp.
In a 4th innings chase, especially with these middling targets it’s good to have 30-40 quick fire runs to calm nerves. Both of NZD openers like to take their time so if anything, there will be a healthy amount of pressure on NZD. Still, NZD are ahead at this stage.
I'm talking more about the first 2 tests which had decent enough pitches. We still failed. Ashwin saved us in the 2nd test with bat or else we'd have lost that test too.That home series had extreme pitches which would have troubled anyone in the world, I think Indian management and curators went a bit over board with the pitches. Other than that if you see previous home series or even Aus tour Indian batting has done decently other than Eng and NZ in my opinion.
139 Runs of 53 overs overs. India need 10 wickets.
India can win this
Having fun trolling eh![]()
Kohli is a big panauti for us.
ive seen pakistan defend less than 139 on a few occasions, this bowling lineup has it in them
We are at our lowest in our batting history. Haven't been this bad ever.I've never seen a Indian test top 6 so vulnerable
We don't have a Wasim or Waqar, our fast bowlers are good but they aren't freaks.ive seen pakistan defend less than 139 on a few occasions, this bowling lineup has it in them
Funnily enough, NZ has a much better record in Asia than India has outside Asia.
India won their last 2 series in Australia, but lost their most recent series in SA, NZ and England.
New Zealand won their last series away to Pakistan in the UAE (and drew the previous one) and drew their WTC series in Sri Lanka.
How and why does Kohli slip under the radar?
We still have a chance boys.....
We need Bumrah in full flow.
Yeah beating sri Lanka is same as beating England.Funnily enough, NZ has a much better record in Asia than India has outside Asia.

This pitch must assist.
Even then, there is a small small chance.
Lets see if we atleast have an interesting 4th innings.

Hi
You are missing a very important fact - Pak & SL are not at the same level as SENA. It is a fact that NZ has not won against a top team away.
Sure, but this NZ team has been winning and drawing away to Pakistan and Sri Lanka while Australia has lost series there just a few months before or after.Yeah beating sri Lanka is same as beating England.
Yeah, I alluded to this. His past record and because he is captain. If we ignore that, he is a prime candidate to get the boot.Past record, primarily.
He improves his field a bit, takes some good catches at boundaries..Bumrah is so useless with bat and in field. And if he doesn't perform with ball, he is a big liability for us.
India essentially have 3 number 11s with this line up.
I suspect that if New Zealand wins, we will see Ross Taylor and possibly Neil Wagner join BJ Watling in Test retirement.
Today could end up being like when Warne, McGrath and Langer retired.
They started hitting.Poor tactic by NZ!!!! By doinging that they will give wickets to Sir Jadeja and Ashwin along with Shami.
No reason for them to not chase 130 odd runs in sunny conditions.
Pressure!
We have already seen them narrowly lose the 2019 50 over ICC World Cup in low scoring conditions.
This is also a low scoring match, but it’s at least ten times more important than that 2019 Final was.
They know that if they win today they become cricketing immortals.
It’s the most important cricket match ever played, by a vast margin, and we have already seen that pressure destroy India’s batsmen, twice.
India are hopeless in England and NZ conditions where the ball swings and seams. They will look good in all other conditions.

I think so too.Pressure to chase 180 would have been different. 130 runs? I think NZ will get there.
