IND vs NZ Today Match Prediction: India missed the chance to pocket 60 WTC points by a whisker as New Zealand’s resilience denied India a victory in the 1st test in Kanpur. New Zealand showed great character as they held onto a draw against one of the best ever spin attacks assembled in a sub continent condition on a 5th day track. Although there wasn’t any help for the spinners in Kanpur, one cant take away any credit from New Zealand who were phenomenal on the last day of the test. The bad light played its part on all the days of the game as well.

Team record in Mumbai in Tests
IND- 11 wins and 7 defeats, 7 drawn in 14 games
NZ- 1 win and 1 loss in 2 games
With the action shifting to Mumbai where the wicket suits New Zealand’s style of play when compared to other wickets in India, it will be a very tough challenge for India to win the game in there. India will be having the services of Virat Kohli but the form of Virat Kohli is a concern for a long period of time. Though the captain marvellous played some timely knocks then and there, the vintage Virat Kohli is something that the cricket fans crave for. New Zealand will be the stronger team considering the fact that their batters are in very good form.

The odds are still in favor of the home side in this game in IND vs NZ Dream11 prediction and its understandable but the fact is New Zealand’s only test victory came in India under Richard Hadlee in this very venue. New Zealand being the in form team with both bat and ball, and the nature of the wicket that will be on offer, and the form of Indian batters being poor, all things point to New Zealand defeating India thereby winning the series in India after ages and it will be an utter humiliation for Rahul Dravid to start his tenure.

Today pitch report: The wicket here in Mumbai usually assists fast bowlers as there is that natural carry that will be on offer in this wicket. There should be some fast turn as well. A good sporting track is expected for this test.
