IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: 2nd Test Match Preview, Pitch Report, Player Stats, Dream11 Team for Today Match

India vs New Zealand Test Match Prediction 

Match:  IND vs NZ Test Match Prediction 
Time:     03 December, 09:30 AM (IST) 

Series:   2nd Test Match 
Venue:   Wankhede Stadium – Mumbai, India 

Info:

With captain Virat Kohli returning to the India side, we expect him to lead the way with the bat and be their highest run scorer. With the ball, Axar Patel took 5-62 in the New Zealand first innings in Kanpur and he is our pick for India top wicket taker in the Second Test.
Opener Tom Latham was the standout performer with the bat for New Zealand in the First Test. He hit scores of 95 and 52 and is well worth backing as New Zealands highest run scorer against India in Mumbai. Kyle Jamieson continued his impressive start to international cricket with 6 wickets in Kanpur. The pace bowler is our tip for New Zealands top wicket taker in this game.
After India came so close to winning the opening game, the addition of Virat Kohli to their team could make the difference. He is our prediction for the Player of The Match Award.

Live Streaming: 

TV Channel : Star Sports will show the game in India. Sky Sports will show the match in New Zealand and England.

Weather:

There may be some rain during the build-up and early stages on Friday. But thereafter expect dry conditions with the temperature reaching 31 degrees on most days.

Pitch Report:

The surface at the Wankhede Stadium will offer more for the bowlers than what we saw in Kanpur. Expect the pitch to bounce and turn throughout the game.

Toss Prediction: 

Both captains will be very keen to win the toss and choose to bat in this Test. As shown in New Zealands final innings, no team wants to bat fourth in a Test in India.

Team News: 

IND Team News: 
There is plenty of speculation around the make-up of the India side for this Test Match with the return of captain Virat Kohli meaning that someone must make way. Debutant Shreyas Iyer made 105 and 65 in Kanpur and must surely keep his place in the side. Mohammad Siraj is also likely to get a re-call at the expense of Ishant Sharma.

NZ Team News: 
After showing so much character in the First Test, it would be a big surprise if New Zealand were to make any changes ahead of this game. All their bowlers performed very well on a tough surface in Kanpur and they will have had time to refresh and relax ahead of this Mumbai Test.

Winning Chances:

Who will win today match: IND vs NZ Test Match Fantasy Team
The First Test was a brilliant contest with neither team scoring over 350 in their first innings and New Zealand holding on in the final overs. We expect another tight game in Mumbai, but with some larger first innings totals and India coming out on top in the end.

IND Key Players: 

Virat Kohli: 

The captain returns to the team looking to add to his tally of 27 centuries from 96 Tests. He hit a half-century in his last Test Match at The Oval in September.

Ravindra Jadeja

The all-rounder was very impressive in the First Test. He hit 50 in the first innings and took 5 wickets across the match.

Ravichandran Ashwin:

The experienced off-spinner will be looking forward to bowling on this pitch. He took 3 wickets in both innings in Kanpur.

NZ Key Players: 

Tom Latham:

The opener deserved more than the 2 half-centuries he registered in the First Test. He averages 42.03 in Test cricket.

Kane Williamson:

The captain contributed only 42 runs over the two innings in the opening Test. He will be very keen to make amends in this match.

Kyle Jamieson:

The strapping pacemans 6 wickets in Kanpur brought up 50 Test wickets in only nine Tests. He is the quickest New Zealander to reach the milestone.

Team Forms: 

IND Team Form: 
India are in good form in Test cricket and have lost only one of their last five games in this format.

NZ Team Form: 
New Zealand continue to excel in all forms of cricket and have now stretched their unbeaten record to ten Tests.
