India vs New Zealand 3rd Test Preview
India vs New Zealand 3rd Test: India finds itself in a tricky situation after losing the first two Tests against New Zealand on home soil. This defeat has significantly impacted their chances of reaching the World Test Championship (WTC) final. Currently, India must win all six remaining Tests in this cycle to secure the top spot. If they lose any of these games, Rohit Sharma’s side will need other teams vying for the top two spots to falter.
Team India will be desperate to bounce back in the third Test against New Zealand, scheduled to begin on 1 November at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. The Indian batting lineup failed to meet expectations in the previous two matches. In the second Test in Pune, the hosts, chasing 359, were bundled out for 245 runs. Meanwhile, New Zealand has climbed to fourth in the WTC standings after beating India in two consecutive Tests. They must win their remaining four Tests to secure a place in the final. Following the India tour, New Zealand will play a three-match series against England at home.
