Date & Day: 24th October 2024 (Thursday)
Venue: MCA Stadium, Pune
Timings: 09:30 AM (IST)
The pitch for the 2nd test at Pune is going to be a slow-turning pitch, this is being to done to reduce the advantage of New Zealand pacers who did a lot of damage to the Indian batting in the 1st test. As the match progresses the cracks will start opening up and plenty of turn is expected from day 3. The Team winning the toss will look to bat first on this pitch.
The weather for this match is good as there are no chances of rain impacting this game on either of the five days.
Team India has a better chance to win this test as this pitch will support spinners and slow bowling, something which, Indian players are familiar with. Hence, Team India has a better chance to win this game.
