In today's match India batting to meet the target of 235 runs, the New Zealand team did not play much better today than other days. However, the New Zealand team bowled brilliantly while India came to bat and lost their opening batsmen early on.  4 wicket lost for 86 runs India did not have a very good batting in this match, although India's chances of winning the third Test match are very low. However, if India are unable to meet New Zealand's target on the second day, they will surely lose this match as well. If Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant put in a good batting performance tomorrow, New Zealand might be able to meet the target, but New Zealand's bowling is very good, so India will have to bat patiently.

Today's match is very interesting as New Zealand scored only 235 runs in the first innings which is unbelievable.  Because this match was a test match in which they could give difficult targets.  The Indian bowler performed very well and batted himself by dismissing the entire team in 66 overs.  Their batsmen have made 86 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 19 overs.  This match has been stumped due to which Indian batsmen will not be able to play further.  New Zealand put pressure on India in a tough series and India will keep pressure on New Zealand in this series.  The way New Zealand have started the first match, it can be assumed that they have lost the first match.  But anything can happen, so I have been bad at predicting other inning.

I am really getting upset after watching poor batting by team India. I think they have lost the rhythm of batting. Jaiswal was set but couldn’t carry on. Very disappointing to be a run out on test match when the wicket was Virat kohli.Now hope is on Subman Gill and Rishab. I am really hopeful that they will play better cricket tomorrow and set a good run on 1st innings. On the other hand New Zeland are really successful to pick early wickets. The will try to pick all wickets below 200. India need to be strong and not to throw wicket early. Hopefully we will have a good match at the end.

I also have same feeling like you I also really upset about the performance of Indian squad in this test competition with New Zealand squad and India already faced defeats in two previous consecutive matches and today first day of third match was fully played and India is a strong squad and also have experience members in their squad both side batting and bowling but surprising thing is that they lost two matches. This is the last chance for Indian squad to avoid whitewash in this test competition and their bowling performance in first inning was superb and they destroyed all batters of New Zealand for 235 scores but their batters did not maintain their good performance in batting and they lost 4 wickets and managed just 86 scores. Significant wickets of Indian batters were wiped out included Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Soraj. Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill both are on crease to play their inning hope these two will express their excellent performance and support their squad to prevent whitewash.

Indian team disappointing performance at the end of day after a positive start they loss back to back quick wickets. At one stage India are 77 runs only loss of one wicket but after a while i see 4 wickets are gone at just 86 runs. I think the runs out of Matt Henry is match winning get the most important wicket of Virat Kholi at just 4 runs. India bowling performance is amazing Ravindra Jadeja picked fifer in his bowling spell and Washington Sundar also bowl well picked 4 crucial wickets and get bowled out New Zealand at 235 runs. from New Zealand Daryl Mitchell played a classic inning of 82 runs unfortunately missed a well deserved century by 18 runs short but reached the New Zealand total to 230 plus runs a fighting total in first inning of third test match. New Zealand bowling performance is outstanding especially Ajjaz Patel picked 2 important wickets by just giving 33 runs.  India needs a good partnership if they want to win this test match. .

Now at the end of the day, the Indian team has also started to lose the wickets, they are batting in the loss of 4 wickets at the less score of 86 while their target is 235 and after that they must have to make the lead of more than 200. Meanwhile in the remaining 6 wickets, they have to score 350 to get the lead of 200 runs but I think that is not possible for them now because now their main players as gone. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both have not scored much and lost the wickets quickly, I am afraid India may lose this time too if they do not bat with responsibility.

Yes, I am likely to agree with your stance that India will lose because they have already lost 2 of their matches, and in the ongoing match, they did not show their abilities very well to save their wickets and score some runs. On the first day, they scored only 86 runs and are left behind with 145 runs for the next day. I am confused because, on the first day, they scored only 86 runs with the loss of 4 of their best players, and they still need 145 runs with only a few batsmen, which makes it very difficult to chase the whole target tomorrow. The target is not massive, and since it's a test match, they can easily chase it, after all, they are the Indian team. However, if they play calmly and stay at the wicket and they have to be very sensitive to the wickets, which is the only way to win the match.

[Haunebu]

Rohit and Kohli? They have gone from dependable to undependable in recent times. Jaiswal and Gill keep performing consistently well, but they aren't able to convert their starts into big scores yet.

Also, what the heck is up with Kohli and getting out right before stumps in this series? His impatience keeps screwing him again and again. Wonder if India will end up getting whitewashed in this series now.

The India team lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma earlier. Then Jaiswal and Gill stood wicket and slowly built a partnership. Finally, Jaiswal was bowled out when India's score was 78 runs. Soon after this, more wickets fell, and India stands at 86/4 by the end of day 1. The India team will end the innings scoring 170 to 200 runs. Anyhow, in the present scenario, the series is going to be a washout, but the prediction says this match will be won by the India team. Even in this situation, the win percentage for the team India sits above 75%, and this is really surprising. Let's wait and see the result.

[Mahdirakib]

However, New Zealand's biggest achievement in this session was the fall of Rohit Sharma's wicket. The dismissal of dangerous top-order batsman Rohit Sharma meant that some runs would have been added to the score.

Rohit Sharma is in a continuous off form condition in test matches. He has failed to prove his importance in the team thorough his batting performance in the recent matches. So, I wouldn't say that his wicket was really very important (biggest achievement). Hopefully, he will be able to make a good comeback against Australia in the next important series. Anyway, looks like Indian batsmen have again messed up against NZ. They should try their best to avoid the whitewash.

[LDL]

Rohit and Kohli? They have gone from dependable to undependable in recent times. Jaiswal and Gill keep performing consistently well, but they aren't able to convert their starts into big scores yet.

Also, what the heck is up with Kohli and getting out right before stumps in this series? His impatience keeps screwing him again and again. Wonder if India will end up getting whitewashed in this series now.

1st test both innings Rohit Sharma 2&52 Kohli 0& 70 ,They managed to get back to the runs in the second innings though.
2nd test both innings Rohit Sharma 0& 8, Kohli 1& 17 , These two have completely failed to score legendary runs in the two innings of this Test.
3rd test Rohit Sharma 18 , Kohli 4 , These two legendary batsmen have not played any important innings in this Test series so far. I don't think we should actually blame the Indian venues and blame the Indian cricketers?
If the pitch is to blame then the New Zealand batsmen have performed well on the same pitch and have already won both the Tests. So it is clear that due to the poor performance of Indian cricketers, India is on the way to whitewash in this Test series.

[ZAINmalik75]

At one point I thought, with 77/1 on the board it's finally India's day.

But they proved me wrong and ruined all the hard work with 15 minutes of retarded batting. Rohit and Kohli have become walking wickets in this series. Everybody talks about facing spin but Rohit looks clueless against seamers. On the other hand, Kohli is finding new ways to get out, sometimes gifting his wicket on full toss and today's brain fade runout was painful and hilarious to watch. Can't blame Siraj as he's the proper number 11 batter and was sent to see off the day on turning deck (all blame goes to Gambhir).

Jaiswal proved more than enough in his short career but sometimes this kid needs to learn how to play the situations as well and keep his ego in check. There was no requirement for a premeditative high risk shot when you are 2 overs away from the stump and it's the 1st day of the test match.

Yeh it was terrible and looks like truly horrible dream for Indian team because they like one minute up and second minutes down, I know it's really hard to deal with such pressure situation and make a comeback especially when you had already lost the two consecutive matches on home ground and are almost About to lose the last one too which mean white wash series so such situations push them to make mistakes which turn down the match off track. Indian try Pakistani team tactics like introducing more spinner in order to restrict them with some new way but unfortunately still they unable to get his target. Even departure new Zealand on a very low target still they got pressureized and lose situation handling. Hope gill and pant will at least match the required

I would say Indian senior players failed to perform well in this series. We haven't seen better performances from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in a long time. The performance of the Indian top order players is quite poor and erratic at present. Both Kohli and Rohit are very important players in the Indian squad. But as these two batsmen are not able to bat well, its effect is seen in the Indian overall performance.

I see no chance of blaming the Indian pitch. India know their pitch very well. At the same time New Zealand batsmen can bat well on this pitch but Indian batsmen are not able to do well on this pitch. This is definitely the failure of the Indian players.

Indian batsmen are not able to do well in the third test match as well. New Zealand collected small. New Zealand scored only 235 runs. But looking at Bharti's batting, it doesn't look like India will be able to muster up to 235. India lost 4 wickets for 86 runs on the first day.

When New Zealand was loosing their wickets and lost all wickets in only 235 run I would may be they are going to loose to do white wash Indian team But here I also saw that indian experience Batsmen like the Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma they failed to do the performance. I don't want to say that indian team haven't that ability to recover from this stage but New Zealand team have also the best bowlers to wicket them out. Anyway I am thinking that Indian team going to be White washed.

India lost the first two matches. New Zealand's batsmen failed to bat well in the third match. New Zealand lost wickets very quickly. And the Indian spin bowlers bowled brilliantly. Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja in particular bowled well. Jadeja managed to pick up 5 wickets and Washington Sundar 4 wickets. As a result, New Zealand's innings stopped at just 235 runs.

Since New Zealand cannot collect big, we thought India might be able to take a decent lead in the first innings. If India can put up 300+ in the first innings, that would be a good enough collection for them. But the performance of Indian batsmen is very erratic. Like the previous two matches, the Indian top order failed to bat well in this match as well. India lost four wickets for just 84 runs. If India cannot take the lead in the first innings then India will lose this match as well.

Although India lost the first two matches, I thought India would make no mistake in this match. And India will win the last match of the series. Because the Indian team is very strong. Despite losing the first two matches, India are fully capable of defeating the New Zealand team. But India is going to repeat the same mistake as in the first two matches. Indian batsmen batted well in this match too. If they fail to take the lead in the first innings, naturally India will be under a lot of pressure in the second innings. And the match will be very difficult to win.

India lost 4 wickets and collected 86 runs. India is still trailing by 149 runs. Gill and Pant are now at the crease. Sharfaraz Khan, Jadeja and Ashwin are also capable of playing big innings. So scoring 149 runs should not be too difficult a task for India.

Yes India faces big test in this important match. Despite losing first two matches India has talent and strength to win last match. India is behind by 149 runs but their current batsmen give hope. However India must avoid past mistakes. Not taking lead in the first innings caused pressure and cost them the match. To win India needs to use their batting skills and work together. If they overcome 149 run deficit they can make a thrilling comeback. But according to the current situation they have lost 4 wickets already which can be pressurized remaining team mates.

India A vs Australia A, 1st unofficial Test

I don't know if most people know that the India A and Australia A unofficial Test has started today at Mackay. India A hasn't been able to get a good start in this test. They lost four main players including the captain at 76 runs only. Ruturaj Gaikwad is leading the Indian side and he was out ona duck too. He usually plays for Chennai Super Kings but today he just looked out of touch. Devdutt Padikkal is batting on 35 and he is the last hope for the Indian A team to take them to a reasonable total.

Australian A are bowling on their home ground and all of them are doing a good job. Jordan Buckingham and Brendan Doggett were the two most successful bowlers who took 2 wickets each.

This game is still ongoing and yesterday 3 rd day of game was played and today 4 th day will play between Indian A team and Australia A team. Australia A team won the toss and got a chance to take first bat or bowl and Australia A team elected field first. Indian A team effort in 1 st turn was quite poor and they grab only 107 runs in 88 overs. Devdutt only showed some help and he made 36 runs in 77 balls and hitted two 4s. Australia A team also not showing well effort and they chased all runs 107 and trail by 88 runs for 2 nd turn to india team. Now 2 nd turn of india team is continuing playing their turn and this time their batsman performed better than 1 st turn. They made 275 runs by losing 5 wickets and I am not sure they will win this game if they will grab 100 more runs or above then they have high chance to beat Australia A team. Let's see what happens in next.

Let's see what happens in next.

At the moment, India A is leading by 218 runs, with one more wicket in hand. The final target maybe somewhere around 230. Navdeep Saini and Mukesh Kumar are at the crease now. And earlier, it was the partnership between Sai Sudharsan and Devdutt Padikkal which rescued India. After that Ishan Kishan made 32, but no one else contributed in a big way. For Australia it was Fergus O'Neill who was the pick of the bowlers. At this point, the match looks evenly posed. India will be dependent on Mukesh Kumar and Prasidh Krishna to give them a win.

Yes India faces big test in this important match. Despite losing first two matches India has talent and strength to win last match. India is behind by 149 runs but their current batsmen give hope. However India must avoid past mistakes. Not taking lead in the first innings caused pressure and cost them the match. To win India needs to use their batting skills and work together. If they overcome 149 run deficit they can make a thrilling comeback. But according to the current situation they have lost 4 wickets already which can be pressurized remaining team mates.

It will be a huge shame for India if they lose every match in the home series against New Zealand. Indian cricket board is very rich. At the same time, there is no doubt that the Indian squad is also very strong. Every player in the squad is very talented. Even then the Indian team is not able to do well in the home series against New Zealand. India lost the first two matches.

India still have a chance to take the lead in the first innings. India is only 149 runs behind. If Gill and Pant are able to bat with some responsibility then I think India can put up 250+ in the first innings.

[Fuso.hp]

Indian batsmen are not able to do well in the third test match as well. New Zealand collected small. New Zealand scored only 235 runs. But looking at Bharti's batting, it doesn't look like India will be able to muster up to 235. India lost 4 wickets for 86 runs on the first day.

When New Zealand was loosing their wickets and lost all wickets in only 235 run I would may be they are going to loose to do white wash Indian team But here I also saw that indian experience Batsmen like the Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma they failed to do the performance. I don't want to say that indian team haven't that ability to recover from this stage but New Zealand team have also the best bowlers to wicket them out. Anyway I am thinking that Indian team going to be White washed.

Falling four wickets before scoring 100 runs is not good at all for Team India. Since New Zealand's first innings collection was low, India must score more runs than New Zealand in their first innings. However, they have already lost four wickets and if New Zealand can fall two more wickets at the start of the second day, India will not be able to score the runs New Zealand scored in the first innings. Team India has already been eliminated from the series by losing the first two Test matches, but if India loses the third Test match as well, then they will be whitewashed by New Zealand in the Test series. India must want to avoid the shame of whitewash and to avoid the shame of whitewash they must bat responsibly.

[noormcs5]

The India team lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma earlier. Then Jaiswal and Gill stood wicket and slowly built a partnership. Finally, Jaiswal was bowled out when India's score was 78 runs. Soon after this, more wickets fell, and India stands at 86/4 by the end of day 1. The India team will end the innings scoring 170 to 200 runs. Anyhow, in the present scenario, the series is going to be a washout, but the prediction says this match will be won by the India team. Even in this situation, the win percentage for the team India sits above 75%, and this is really surprising. Let's wait and see the result.

Rohit Sharma has gone mad surely. The team is not playing well, that is why he is in tension and making strange decisions. As in the order the batsmen was going to bat, Innings started by Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma, after this wicket Shubman Gill has arrived, who is still playing(near to his half century) and I think if he will set the good runs then India can lead the game back again. Anyway back to the Indian batting order, Rohit Sharma gave the bat to Muhammad Siraj who has never played well in batting recently and he has out on the very first ball that he played.



Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant are trying to save the match for the Indian team. Since the morning of the 2nd day they are playing aggressively and that is turning out to be good for the Indian team and fans. They trail by 75 runs now.
