India vs New Zealand: If Team India lose the Pune Test then their chances dip of making the World Test Championship final. After having lost the first Test at Bengaluru versus New Zealand, the hosts were in control in Pune after having bundled out the visitors for 259 on the opening day of the game. But then, there was a collapse of the Indian batting order in the first session of day two. Now, India find themselves in a tricky spot at Pune. Fans are also concerned over India’s chances of making the third consecutive WTC final. Currently, India are table-toppers in the current WTC tally, but things could change if they lose at Pune. If India lose at Pune, South Africa’s chances would brighten. SA play Bangladesh away from their den, then they host Sri Lanka and Pakistan at home. The SA side are more than capable of getting past Bangladesh , Sri Lanka and Pakistan .
Team India are also scheduled to play five Test matches versus Australia in Australia and that will not be easy.
Meanwhile, the Pune Test is not done yet. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar are in the middle and they are trailing by 152 runs.
