India vs New Zealand Live on Sony Six
Indian cricket team tours to New Zealand for a test and ODI series. This will be India's tour to the Kiwi land after a successful cricket series they played out there in 2009. Indian team will strive hard to repeat their good performance this time whereas New Zealand team is full of confidence after their series win against West Indies. Sony Six will telecast this series live on TV whereas one can enjoy live cricket score online through ESPN Star Sports, ESPN Cricinfo, Cricket Nirvana, etc.
Indian team continues to struggle against high pounce and pace as they did in their last tour to South Africa. A news of relief comes to them as cricket authority in New Zealand decides to go ahead with sporty wickets rather than bouncy tracks that may end a test match in two to three days. MS Dhoni denies the fact that his team struggles against raw pace but he accepts that he and his team has a lot to do against the bounce.
Indian team is full of raw talent which includes Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rahane, Pujara, Jadeja, Dhawan and many more to team. On paper this team looks certain favourites. Ones like Pujara, Kohli or Rahane have already proved their worth on foreign pitches but sub-continent run machines Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan failed miserably in South Africa. Raina is still out of form and he has to click before its too late for him.
Bowling wise Indian team will look at par in the New Zealand conditions. The spinners will capitalise as the Kiwis aren't too good against spin. The pace battery of Zaheer, Ishant, Shami and Bhuvaneshwar will feast on the opposition as they would get good support from the New Zealand pitches.
Talking about the New Zealand team, they are taking this as a big opportunity to play against one of the top ranked sides in the world. Corey Anderson recently slammed fasted ODI century against West Indies breaking a very old record of Shahid Afridi. Ryder is back in form. McCLenaghan has been highly impressive with his quick bowling. Ross Taylor gets another opportunity to showcase his batting skills.
India has a lot on stake as they play against a relatively weaker side in their own backyard. A loss here would make them face a lot of criticism and victory would help them regain their lost confidence abroad.
