IND v NZL 3rd Test Preview at Nagpur - India vs New Zealand Squad for Third Test


IND v NZL 3rd Test Preview at Nagpur - India vs New Zealand Squad for Third Test

After two draws host India and New Zealand will try to win the third and final test and clinch the series starting from Saturday, 20th November, 2010 at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur and timing will be from morning 4:00 GMT, 9:30 IST. 3 match series is currently level at 0-0.

India has to blame to their poor bowling as they were unable to take a lead in the low placed opponent. Indian batsmen are contributing well along with Harbhajan, who scored two centuries but not doing his main work i.e. taking wickets. Raina and Dhoni has yet to contribute in the series while Zaheer is ruled out and will be replace by Ishant Sharma.

New Zealand will be very happy with their performance so far against the no.1 test team and McCullm, McIntosh, Ryder and Williamson continues with their good form they can again give a challenge to weak Indian bowling attack.
