Win Prediction

IND – 70%
NZ – 30%

India are a formidable side at home and haven’t lost a Test series here in a long time. Much will depend on how the Kiwis tackled India’s spin bowling. New Zealands’ strength is their pace attack which is ineffective on Indian pitches. This will be the first test for Rahul Dravid and the new team management. We expect India to win this match and also clinch the series comfortably.

Betting Odds:

Bet365: IND: 1.53; NZ: 4.75

Ravi Ashwin is a must-have for your IND vs NZ Dream11 teams. He is the go-to bolwer for India on India’s turning tracks. Also, he is no muck with the bat and can add valuable runs.

Ravi Ashwin in Tests:

Axar Patel was the star of the series versus England. He bowls wicket to wicket in an immaculate length. He is difficult to maneuver around on these pitches. Axar can also contribute with the bat if required.
