Remove Black Caps’ top-order at the earliest:
In New Zealand’s first innings, Tom Blundell and Tom Latham stitched 66-run partnership which can be a threat for India’s bowling attack. The hosts will surely try to build up the same partnership, to get a good start.
So, the bowlers should aim to break the partnership of them as soon as possible. India’s pacers should find a trick to derail Kiwis early. Any long partnership will diminish the chances of India’s win.
