Before the international units of New Zealand and India step out to the middle to face off against each other in a couple of days time, New Zealand A and India A will be battling it out in the middle. The two sides will be locking heads in what promises to be an intriguing five match ODI and two match test series commencing today.
For the Indians, this series comes at a pivotal moment. With the main Indian setup suffering a spate of injuries at the moment, the players partaking in India A’s squad know imperious displays in the country can see them throw their cap in the bag for selection in the main setup.
And after trouncing New Zealand XI across their two practice clashes, the visitors will be looking to emulate the same rousing performances which see them come buoyed into the series opener. While the first clash was swept by India, the side tie went closer with India managing to pull off a 12 run defence of their 373 run target.
Probable Winner
While this New Zealand A side is vastly superior than the New Zealand XI unit India faced over the week, we envision the visitors still getting the better of their opponents today. This is an Indian unit bestowed with worldclass names, players who know just what it takes to succeed on the biggest stage of them all.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
The practice encounters played over here prior to this clash showed just how sublime a batting surface this is. Over 700 runs were scored in the bygone affair, testament to the kind of batting conducive surface which will be laid out infront of us.
The team winning the toss will be looking to capitalise on these batting friendly conditions and step out to bat first after winning the toss.
