India Under Pressure in Fourth-Innings Chase Against New Zealand
At the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India is set to face a challenging fourth-innings chase against New Zealand. The pitch conditions at the stadium are known to favor spinners, which could pose a significant challenge for the Indian team. With the risk of a historic clean sweep loss at home looming over them, the pressure is mounting for India to effectively chase down the target.
The target of approximately 160 runs may seem manageable, but India has shown vulnerability under pressure, especially against spin bowling. This weakness could potentially complicate their chase and make it difficult for them to secure a victory. The team will need to overcome these challenges and perform under pressure to avoid a clean sweep loss at home.
