India will look to avoid a clean sweep as they face New Zealand in the third and final Test in Mumbai. This match, starting Friday, November 1, gives India a chance to redeem themselves after losing the first two Tests. The previous games saw India struggle with the bat, especially against New Zealand’s spinners, notably Mitchell Santner, who dominated the second Test in Pune.
In the first Test in Bengaluru, India were bowled out for 46 in the first innings, eventually losing by eight wickets. The second Test saw Santner take 13 wickets, leaving India unable to chase a 359-run target. Though Yashasvi Jaiswal’s confident 77 provided some hope, the Men In Blue struggled overall, with only Ravindra Jadeja (42) putting up resistance. With both the sides looking to win this crucial match in order to stay in WTC final contention.
