New Zealand Vs India National Cricket Team Matches
New Zealand and India matches are always exciting affairs, featuring two powerful teams with potent batting lineups and adaptable bowling attacks – particularly New Zealand’s Black Caps who are known for their aggressive and strategic play.
New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first. Their innings was not explosive but marked by resilience. Here we will discuss the main points of New Zealand National Cricket Team vs India National Cricket Team Match Scorecard.
Day 1
Persistent rain in Bengaluru has delayed the beginning of play at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, with covers removed and toss not yet decided – umpires must inspect the field first before making their call.
Rohit Sharma of India revealed that wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is suffering from a knee injury. Rishabh sustained damage to his left knee – the same one which required surgery earlier this year – which required another blow over the weekend. Rohit remains optimistic that Rishabh will bounce back strongly after their next Test at Auckland.
New Zealand batsmen have made a promising start, with opener Devon Conway making 76 in an initial innings. But post-lunch, their hosts have struggled to maintain momentum as India spinners failed to provide any breakthrough.
Conway was struggling against Jasprit Bumrah, with the left-handeder struggling to rotate the strike. Finally, Bumrah played an aggressive drive which Tom Blundell caught deep.
After being held back on Day 1, Rohit will look to make his mark on Day 2. India must start off strong against Matt Henry and William O’Rourke of New Zealand’s bowlers who could lead them astray with some accurate deliveries.

Day 2
New Zealand’s bowlers made an impressionful statement on day two of the second Test against India. Matt Henry and Will O’Rourke led their side with tight bowling that kept runs at bay from Indian batsmen, ultimately costing India dearly as poor shot selection led to four players being dismissed without scoring on this rain-affected day.
Early in the day, New Zealand started off strongly, with openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway sharing an effective opening partnership. But as time progressed, Indian bowlers took control and started picking off wickets regularly – this led to an unprecedented collapse of India’s batting order; all out for just 156 after only 45.3 overs.
After lunch, New Zealand continued its dominance against Indian batting line up, however they suffered several defeats quickly thereafter that put them on the backfoot. Tim Southee was sent packing by Kuldeep Yadav for a duck before Ravindra Jadeja was adjudged an lbw decision off Glenn Phillips before Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan both left for 18 and 11 respectively before eventually departing cheaply at one time or another.
Shubman Gill provided India with their only notable score, scoring 30 off 27 balls before being bowled by Mitchell Santner; trying to play a sweep off this delivery, but was caught behind the stumps.
New Zealand’s spinners took swift and decisive action against India, taking three and five wickets respectively courtesy of Glenn Phillips and Mitch Santner while Washington Sundar figured among their scorers.
New Zealand have continued their dominant performance after tea break, as Devon Conway nears his century aided by Will Young who has an excellent strike rate. Bumrah rotates with him as the pair rotates strike between bowlers – leaving New Zealand ahead by 152 with only three wickets still left to claim!
Day 3
New Zealand won a remarkable series win against India at Pune with a 2-0 series victory, marking their first Test win there since 2012. New Zealand cricketers should take great pride in this achievement and Glenn Phillips takes a look back on what led up to it all.
New Zealand quickly reached their target in four overs, thanks to some excellent batting from Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant in the middle. Khan displayed deft batting skills with numerous neat dabs as he reached his maiden Test hundred – this pairing contributed 136 runs for India’s sixth wicket and offered hope.
However, the second new ball made all the difference – Blackcaps batted strongly after its introduction and India were left struggling to catch up with them. This second new ball proved instrumental in giving control back to hosts who went on to achieve their target for five wickets lost.
At the close of play, India were 221 runs behind. Rohit Sharma was out for a golden duck; just missing out on scoring two centuries when caught at point by Southee off the first ball of the final over; all other Indian batsmen struggled against Southee’s bowling dominance.
Jasprit Bumrah stood out among India’s bowlers by taking another wicket. He struck an accurate delivery, on middle length, that Devon Conway attempted to play at; as soon as it hit Conway’s back pad there was a loud cry for leg before wicket but upon review this claim was overruled.
Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal will come out to bat for India and must work hard with their bat if they are to save this match. A new ball challenge awaits them this morning and their captain will hope that they can keep up the run-rate to put India into an advantageous position.
