India got the lead of more than 30 runs which was not high and everyone was sure, India has chased the trailing score because in the test matches, a 30 score does not contain any value and like this New Zealand has got the lead of more than 140 runs once again. New Zealand was stronger from the start of the series as they have won the back to back two matches against India. The Indian team when they have all their important and pressure handlers players like Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sahrma, Shubmna Gill and many others, these are the nightmares of the other teams but not for New Zealand.

However, there are quite a lot of twists in this match. New Zealand's last pair will start the innings tomorrow and they don't have much lead to defend. India should chase whatever the score they will get, but they will need to bat well in any case.

Ashwin is already crossed 38 with Jadeja is going to cross 36 next month so how much time they have in game most chances we will have them just one more season with Jadeja can stay for few years, but now it's time for Ashwin to give up and try for some other way it's good for him as well.
India is already had few good quality spin bowlers which can give them good results in coming years so looking forward with new talent is much better instead of staying with them because its also part of the game.
In Australia both will be not effective as we have completely different conditions and pitches so now they have to wait for next home series where they can give their best.

They are playing in a bowling friendly pitch. Indian batsmen performance was below average in this series. Where they performed pathetically in the first innings of first test match. The result of this series could have been different if the batting performance of Kohli and Rohit was better in the entire series. Anyway, India is going to win the 3rd test match.

How many more times should Ashwin and Jaddu bail India out of bad situations in the test format? These two have proven yet again as to why they are a legendary duo and I am not looking forward to their retirement from tests at all.

Yeah. Am pretty certain now that India has this one in the bag, but this win is just a consolation prize for them since the Kiwis have the last laugh thanks to their history making series win.

I think Washington Sundar's wicket of David Conway at 22 runs could be a turning point of match. today Indian spinner has made a very impressive comeback in this match, New Zealand's nine-wicket goan at 171 runs, just one wicket away and New Zealand only managed to give a lead of 143 runs so far and one wicket left. its very difficult to scored a fantastic 200-plus runs to India. I also think the credit for this win goes to Shabum Gill and Paint who played a important 116-run partnership despite being out for four wicket goan at 84 and giving India a good lead however Spinner also palyed a dominant rule in 2nd inning.

Clever bowling refers to the pairing of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin where these two have been one of the main reasons for New Zealand's batting woes. At the moment New Zealand have taken a lead of 143 runs, it is not a big target and there is only one more wicket where a big lead of 150 runs can be achieved. It can be said with great confidence that India will definitely win the final match and there is no chance of a whitewash. The only thing that can be said is India's clever bowling i.e. spin attack has kept India ahead in today's match.

India might be going to win the last Test match of the series. But the Indian bowlers should be given full credit for this win. Indian batsmen batting was very weak and erratic in this series. Bad batting has led India to defeat in every match. Even in the first innings of the third match, we did not see the expected batting from the Indian players.

New Zealand team managed to collect 235 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, he probably won't be able to collect even 200 runs. New Zealand lost the ninth wicket for 171 runs. New Zealand is ahead of India by only 143 runs. Even though the Indian batsmen batting erratically, I don't think a win against India is possible by giving a small target of 150.

India vs New Zealand, 3rd Test is going on and it seems India doing well. In the 1st inngins, India able to stop New Zealand within 235-10 runs where most players failed to collect more runs including openers batsmen. Although Will Young(71) and Daryl Mitchell(82) hold their team leadership tightly in such circumstances as well as gave their best effort to collect more runs with having half century. Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja known as best bowlers, got 4 and 5 wickets respectively. Although in 1st inngins, India unable to score higher runs, New Zealand stopped them in 263-10 runs. Same Situation happened with india too while batting. I means most of players fail to Scored more runs except Rishabh Pant(60) and Shubman Gill(90) , although it's a pity as gill missed his century for just a little more runs but he scored a big amount of runs when his teammates suffer to score. So i really appreciate his effort for his team. Now 2nd innings started and India already makes New Zealand suffer, till now NZ collected 134-6 runs, it has possible due to Indian skillful bowlers. If India can stopped them within 250 runs, then India will have a possibility to win this match although New Zealand already on this series as they already won 2 matches. But It'll be glad for india if they can experience a single win which will be only possible if the win this match

India's performance in the third Test was not good and their players could not perform as expected. The batting style seems to be Mumbai Wankhede Stadium bowling wicket. Meanwhile New Zealand batting disaster occurred in the second innings and their latest collection was 131 runs for 6 wickets. This Test match can be drawn.

India are firmly in the lead now thanks to some clever bowling . This is the critical period now though where Young and Mitchell are forming another good partnership and they could shift the momentum back in their favor.

However, if both get out soon, it's all over for the Kiwis in my opinion. I feel that not playing Santner in this final test was a bad move.

New Zealand has lost 03  wickets already. No doubt this is a low scoring test pitch. India now definitely on the driving seat. If New Zealand fail to make any big partnership it would be easy for India to chase the leading score. It’s true that New Zealand are playing really well throughout the series. India were trying to win but they really played the previous matches. Now they 02 more wicket to fall New Zealand into the trap. However the more time passing the pitch and its become more harder to make runs. If New Zealand able to put 200 above runs as leading it will be surely tough for India to chase though India are on good session. Lets see today end where the result become stop for today.

India had just given New Zealand a lead of 28 runs and New Zealand topped that lead with an already five-run lead. However, the better the team can perform this innings, the more likely the team will win, especially in ODI style, the team that scores more will have more chances to win. Latham scored 28 runs in the first innings but was dismissed for just one run in this innings and was dismissed by Akash Deep in every innings. However, in today's session if India can attack the spinners in succession and get the top order batsmen out early then the match is expected to be in India's favour.

However Conway dismissed by Washington Sundar

Ha, I also thought that India would be able to take a lead of at least 100 runs. Because New Zealand managed to collect only 235 runs. Scoring 350 runs on this pitch was not a very difficult task. But Indian batsmen are not in good form. So India failed to do well in today's match as well. India managed to take a small lead of just 28 runs. The performance of the batsmen of the Indian squad is as weak as in the last two matches.

Shubman Gill has collected the highest in the Indian squad. SHubman collected 90 runs, and RIshab pant collected 60 runs. Besides, none of the batsmen in the Indian squad can bat well.

Tom Latham returned to the dressing room after collecting only 1 run. New Zealand has collected 26 runs in 9 overs. New Zealand must set a target of around 300 if they want to win. Given a target of less than 300, New Zealand's chances of winning are slim.

Many thought that maybe India could give a lead of many runs in this Test but in reality it was not possible now that the score is level and the lead is four runs. Washington Sundar and Ravichandran Ashwin remain unbeaten on the wicket so if these two batsmen can bat a few overs then maybe India can give a lead of 50+ runs.

Many of us expected that India would be able to take a big lead in the first innings. But this is very unlikely at the moment. India lost their eighth wicket for 227 runs. Washington Sundar and Ashwin are batting now. I am not expecting big innings from these two batsmen.

Rishab Pant and Shubman Gill were able to bat quite well. Gill scored 90 runs and Pant scored 60 runs. But we don't see good batting from Jadeja and Sharfaraz Khan. Jadeja scored only 14 runs. Sharfaraz khan could not add any runs to the scoreboard. New Zealand bowler Ajaz Patel managed to bowl very well today. Even though Ajaz Patel gave a lot of runs, he still managed to pick up 4 important wickets.

Shubman Gill is Indian's last hope, he is playing in a good way, not taking the pressure to make runs, playing with full calm and that is why he is still not out. All the batsmen had lost their wickets and now the bowlers came to bat but still Shubman Gill was there right from the start. He is playing according to the situation, not taking pressure of the crowd to hit boundaries, doing running and making score mostly in singles and doubles. He is playing running friendly that is very good for the Indian team this time to maintain the game and the other batsmen also do this. Washington Sundar and Shubman Gill are batting right now.

India are trailing by some runs, but they can chase it. 3 wickets are left and they have to make 13 runs to come in the lead but I think still India will struggle in the game if their bowlers do not play well in the second innings because Indian batsmen did too much struggle and they reached here, three wickets are left and I don't think so they can even make 100 runs lead.

If this time anyone from the Indian players will wickets, then the remaining wickets will fall too. Shubman Gill is batting on 90 runs and he deserves his 100 runs. He is the one who helped the Indian team recover in their first innings.

India and the team batted well on the second day, we saw that they had lost 4 wickets yesterday for 86 runs and they managed to collect a good score today. They batted with great distance, in today's match, the two Indian batsmen Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill were able to reach a very good level in the partnership of these two. After Rishabh Pant got out, the number of runs has decreased a little, but Shubman Gill is batting wonderfully at the moment, he is adding patiently towards scoring a century. At the moment, India has lost 6 wickets and they still have 32 runs to meet the target of New Zealand, I think India will be able to meet this target today.

India is 40 runs behind at the lunch break. If India can give New Zealand a lead of 100/170 runs in this innings, then the result of this test may change. If India wins this Test, it can avoid being whitewashed.

India failed to start the innings well. But due to the partnership of Rishab Pant and Shubman Gill, the Indian team is now in a good position. India lost their fourth wicket by 84 runs. And India lost their fifth wicket for 180 runs. India managed to collect a huge 96 runs from Pant-Gill pair. RIshab Pant has just returned to the dressing room after collecting 60 runs from 59 balls.

India still trail by 51 runs. It's not a big gap. There are two talented batsmen at the crease like Shubman Gill and Jadeja. Gill remains unbeaten with 68 runs. I think India will be able to take a lead of 100-120 runs.
