IND vs NZ 3rd Mumbai Test: The third and last match of the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand is being played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Two days of the match have been completed and the result is expected on the third day itself. Team India is not far behind in this test, but still the Rohit brigade is in danger of losing this test too. So let us know why India can also lose the Mumbai Test.
By the end of the second day of the Test, New Zealand, batting in its second innings, had put 171/9 runs on the board. With these runs, the Kiwi team has a lead of 143 runs. There was excellent turn on the pitch of Mumbai from the very first day, which can prove to be a big problem for Team India while chasing the target on the third day.
In the match, New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat. On the very first day, the Indian spinners had troubled the New Zealand batsmen a lot. Indian spinners had all out New Zealand for 235 runs on the very first day. During this, Ravindra Jadeja took 5 wickets and Washington Sundar took 4 wickets for India.
Then New Zealand’s spinners troubled the Indian batsmen. Kiwi spinner Ajaz Patel opened his paw during India’s first innings. Apart from this, Ish Sodhi and Glenn Phillips took 1-1 wicket.
After this came the turn of New Zealand’s second innings, in which once again the brilliance of the Indian spinners was seen. By the end of the second day, 9 wickets had fallen in the second innings of the Kiwi team. During this period, Ravindra Jadeja has taken 4 wickets, Ravichandran Ashwin 3 and Washington Sundar 1 wicket.
Spinners will become a big challenge for Team India
New Zealand has a lead of 143 runs. If Kiwi team gives India a target of 150 runs on the third day, then it will not be easy for Team India. First of all, New Zealand’s spinners are in excellent form. Secondly, most of the batsmen of Team India are out of form. In such a situation, it will not be easy at all for Team India to achieve the target of 150 runs. If Team India loses the Mumbai Test, then India will have to face a clean sweep because the Indian team has lost both the initial matches of the series.
