IND vs NZ 2024, 3rd Test: Match Prediction, Dream11 Team, Fantasy Tips & Pitch Report
Following a 113-run defeat to New Zealand in Pune, India now looks to salvage pride as they host the Black Caps in the third and final Test at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, starting November 1. Trailing 2-0 in the three-match series, Rohit Sharma’s men face the daunting prospect of a 3-0 sweep on home soil.
India’s troubles began in Bengaluru, where they struggled on a seaming M Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch, losing the first Test by eight wickets. The pressure intensified in Pune, as a slow, turning track-typically suited to Indian conditions-laid bare the batters’ vulnerabilities. New Zealand’s all-rounder Mitchell Santner exploited these conditions to perfection, dismantling India’s lineup with an impressive 13 wickets across both innings.
Now at Wankhede, India’s batters will have to regroup and adapt quickly to avoid a whitewash.
