India has only one thing left to play for in the IND vs NZ Test series: their reputation. Heading into the third and final Test, India will aim for redemption in this dead rubber before moving on to the crucial Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, which will determine their chances of reaching the World Test Championship final. The IND vs NZ third and last match will take place at Wankhede Stadium, starting on November 1.
New Zealand’s victory in Pune has rekindled their hopes of reaching the World Test Championship (WTC) Final, though they’ll need to secure wins in all four of their remaining games against India and England to stay in contention. Meanwhile, India finds itself under pressure, needing to win at least four of their six remaining matches to secure a spot in the WTC final. Complicating things further, South Africa’s recent win over Bangladesh in the first Test strengthens their position in the standings as they aim to clinch the series.
