India vs New Zealand Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: Get IND vs NZ Live Updates from M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
India vs New Zealand (IND vs NZ) Live Score, 1st Test Day 2 Match Today: Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat against Tom Latham’s New Zealand on Day 2 of the first of the three-match Test series at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday
However, the weather forecast for the remaining days looks pretty grim with the rain in the city set to continue, according to AccuWeather. But India will not be perturbed as M.Chinnaswamy has a way superior drainage system than Kanpur where India needed just 2 days to defeat Bangladesh after the first 3 days were washed out.
In case the Test turns out to be a draw, it might hamper India’s chances, if only slightly, to qualify for the WTC final so the Rohit Sharma-led crew would hope to get a result in this series before travelling Down Under in what promises to be a nail-biting affair.
Teams:
New Zealand (Playing XI): Tom Latham(c), Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell(w), Glenn Phillips, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Ajaz Patel, William ORourke
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
