Win Projections to be updated soon
In the days leading up to the first Test match between India and New Zealand, the Bengaluru pitch was mostly covered because of the city’s intense rain. On the penultimate day, India was forced to cancel their practice session. It is anticipated that the first Test will be impacted by the weather on at least three of the first four days. Tom Latham, the recently named captain of New Zealand, said he anticipates the pacers will like bowling in cloudy circumstances.
After losing 2-0 against Sri Lanka, New Zealand is participating in the series. Tim Southee resigned as captain following the humiliation, as none of their preparations were successful there. The visitors were troubled by Sri Lanka’s heavy reliance on spin, but Latham believes the pacers will take full advantage of Bengaluru’s conditions.
Yes, the weather we’ve had over the past few days since coming here has definitely caught us off guard. And it’s clear from the prediction that it looks somewhat like what we have today. Therefore, it is evident that the wicket is covered for a longer period of time and that the temperature is not necessarily as high as we would typically anticipate. cited Latham as stating, “So that possibly brings the fast bowlers into play.”
Since I haven’t really looked at the wicket in terms of the team we play, it’s difficult to say. However, he continued, “depending on when we see the pitch tomorrow, we’ll obviously cover both bases [spin and pace].”
I hope it provides a little bit more for the seamen here in India: Tom Latham
Latham evaluated the Kiwis’ performance in Sri Lanka and anticipates that the pacers will find something to like on the M Chinnaswamy Stadium surface. Notably, he anticipates the spinners to be used in the second and third Test matches, which are hosted by Pune and Mumbai, respectively.

Therefore, perhaps, it gives the seamers in India a little bit more. “And then, you know, spin might play a little bit more of a factor later on in the next couple of Test matches,” Latham stated.
