Match Preview:
After a breath-taking last match which finished on a draw, India are now again locking horns against New Zealand in the second and final Test of the series. Some good news for the Indian fans as regular skipper Virat Kohli is returning after taking a much needed break. Notably, the kiwis showed resilience and steadfastness especially on the last day of the 1st Test and will definitely strive to continue their rhythm. As we have seen that the first Test concluded in a draw, both the teams will give their best to win the upcoming match and clinch the series.
Pitch and Weather Report:
Oftenly, the pitch at Wankhede supports spin bowling especially on the last two days of the match. On the other hand, this pitch will also support pace bowling during the initial overs of the game. And hence, we can expect an even contest with the bat and ball. According to the weather report, there is a 20% probability of rain, especially on the first day. Notably, humidity is to be expected around 63% with 25 degree Celsius temperature.
Analysis:
The Blackcaps showed a phenomenal display in the Kanpur Test and will hope to continue the momentum in order to outclass the hosts. From the bowling perspective, Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee are the ideal grabs to collect some fantasy points as the Wankhede pitch is slightly more helpful towards the seamers. Tom Latham and Will Young are the top batting picks. Notably, Kane Williamson would also be a smart pick for anyone’s fantasy team as he is the most consistent player among kiwis.
Meanwhile, with the return of batting maestro Virat Kohli to the team, it would be interesting to lookup who will get bench for him. Considering Shreyas Iyer’s performance in his debut test, making him a go-to guy for anyone’s fantasy team. Additionally, one can always bank on all-rounders Ashwin and Jadeja to get more fantasy points.
