IND vs NZ Mumbai Test to take place at Wankhede Stadium [Source: @mufaddal_vohra/x.com]
India is preparing to face New Zealand in the third and final Test, which will take place at the famous Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from 1 November onwards.
After being written off by many for the series loss against Sri Lanka, New Zealand, under their captain Tom Latham, surprised everyone with their outstanding performances in Bengaluru and Pune. Now, as they hope to write history yet again, i.e. defeat India in the Test to whitewash them, they will be eager to bring their best game.
India, led by Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, must be hell-bent on turning their tide around. They need to win this upcoming clash to keep their hopes alive for qualifying for the WTC Final. The batters will be focused on putting up a strategic total on the board as a Jasprit Bumrah-less India faces a daunting challenge.
While they prepare for the clash, let's take a look at the weather report:
