India vs New Zealand Final Pitch Report

The very last game at this venue showed a 72-meter over the bowler’s head, and around 64-67m square off the wicket. We found some red soil surface, which suggested some extra bounce. However, as the game progresses and the pitch dries, the spinners come into the action. With the rolled grass, there was some grip and a bit of tackiness. Experts opined that slower balls have been effective, especially for the pacers. More than 50% of the seamers’ wickets came in the slower deliveries.

The venue also offers a complete black soil pitch that was used in the IND vs SA clash and has some cracks as well. The average first-inning score has been around 190. Expected temperature is 30-35 degrees, and don’t expect much humidity as well. But, there is a river close to the ground, and who knows, the dew may just play a part.

India vs NZ Final Playing 11

Don’t expect any intentional change from Gautam Gambhir. India should remain unchanged.

India (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson(w), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah.

NZ also might be unchanged with just one probable flipping in the 11. Whether Cole McConchie will keep his place after that magical 1-over, which dispeled QDK & Rickelton, or will Ish Sodhi make it to the XI as he was the player of the match in NZ’s last-ever T20 WC clash against India in 2021.

New Zealand (Playing XI): Tim Seifert(w), Finn Allen, Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner(c), Cole McConchie, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson.

Both teams are in good form. India has been unbeaten while defending a total, while the Kiwis are yet to lose while chasing. So, expect India to choose batting first if SKY wins the toss. Santner may stick to chasing. The home advantage will definitely be there. But don’t forget, NZ have yet to suffer a defeat against India in the T20 WC history. Indeed, they defeated the Men in Blue on their home soil back in the 2016 edition. India has won the title twice previously (2007 and 2024). New Zealand lost the 2021 final against the Aussies.

Meanwhile, Allen-Seifert’s NZ has a 40% chance to win its first-ever ICC T20 WC trophy.
