IND vs NZ 3rd Test Pitch Report Today Match: The last match of the three-match Test series will be played between the host Indian cricket team and the New Zealand cricket team from Friday (1 November 2024). This match will be organized at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Team India has lost the first and second Test matches of the series badly. In such a situation, the Indian team would like to avoid a clean sweep by winning the third Test match starting on Friday at any cost because if the Kiwi team wins the last Test, India will not only lose the series but its path to the ICC World Test Championship Final (WTC Final) will start getting a little difficult. The New Zealand cricket team is led by Tom Latham, while the Indian team will be captained by Rohit Sharma. The third Test match will start at 9:30 am today.

The third Test between Team India and New Zealand is going to be important in many ways. If we look at the statistics, India has dominated the Kiwi team in the history of Test cricket so far. So far, 64 Test matches have been played between these two teams of which India has won 22 matches. On the other hand, the New Zealand team has defeated India in 15 Test matches so far. The result of 27 matches between the two teams has been a draw. Before the start of this series, the New Zealand team had won only two Test matches on Indian soil to date, but after winning the Bengaluru and Pune Tests, their Test match winning streak in India has gone up to 4 matches. On the other hand, Team India has been successful in defeating New Zealand in 17 matches before this in India. Looking at the last match, once again everyone's eyes are on New Zealand's spinner Mitchell Santner and all-rounder Glenn Phillips, while the visiting team will once again rely on century-maker Rachin Ravindra. Rishabh Pant will once again be a key link for India in the second Test, while it will be interesting to see whether KL Rahul returns to the playing XI or not.

Pitch Report of the third Test match between India and New Zealand ( IND vs NZ 3rd Test Pitch Report )

The last match of the Test series between the Indian cricket team and the New Zealand cricket team is going to be held at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In the first match of the series, the Indian team had to face the havoc of fast bowlers, while in the second match, the team was troubled by spinners. In such a situation, everyone is curious about how the pitch of the third match will be. If the report is to be believed, a spin-friendly pitch can be seen once again in Wankhede. The pitch of the stadium is usually of red soil and it helps the batsmen a lot in the beginning. Apart from this, as the match progresses, spinners will come into the game and prove to be lethal. The last time when India and New Zealand clashed on this ground was in 2021, New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel created history by taking 10 wickets in a single innings, although he could not win the match for the Kiwi team. In such a situation, both the teams can think of playing an extra spinner.
