IND vs AUS 1st Test Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media.

As we take the name of the two teams ardent cricket fans are taken back to the famous incident of the last time these two teams met in red ball cricket. India breached the Gabba fortress and retained the Border Gavaskar Trophy courtesy of some gutsy show by an Indian team that was plagued with injury in the tour. Let us look at the head-to-head stats of the two teams. These two teams have played 27 Test series against each other and Australia have been ahead in this competition. Head-to-Head (Overall Series): Total series: 27 - India won: 10 - Australia won: 12 - Drawn series: 5. If we talk about the Test matches that these two teams have played Australia have a clear dominance. Head-to-Head (Overall Matches): Total Matches: 102 - India won: 30 - Australia won: 43 - Draws: 28 - Tied: 1. In case of their clashes on Indian soil India has been the dominant side. Head-to-Head (On Indian Soil): Total Matches: 50 - India won: 21 - Australia won: 13 - Draws: 15 - Tied: 1 As per as the reports are concerned the pitch will be turning from the very first day. So the key players to watch out for will be Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. On the other hand the Indian batting will depend a lot on Virat Kohli as he has a great record at this venue. Besides this there are batters like Pujara Rohit Sharma and Srikar Bharat on whom the batting line-up of India will depend a lot. The Australian bowling also looks good with the likes of Scott Boland Nathan Lyon and Pat Cummins. The match has one more angle of the WTC Final. The team winning the series will be making it to the finals of the WTC. So none of the teams will be conceding ground to the opposition and it promises to be a very exciting clash. Team News India: There have been a few question marks leading up to finalizing the eleven for India with the primary one turning out to be that of the No. 5 spot left vacant by the injured Shreyas Iyer. The contenders for the spot include the in-form Shubman Gill who has previously been looked at as just an opener by the national side. The other is Suryakumar Yadav whose attacking instincts in white-ball cricket at the international level could force India to take a punt in the absence of Rishabh Pant's aggressive methods in the middle order. The other two spots up for discussion include that of the wicket-keeper with KS Bharat likely to get the nod ahead of Ishan Kishan as should Axar Patel for the third spinner's spot. Team News Australia: There are a number of reasons for Australia to try and avoid stacking up too many left-handers in their playing eleven. While four in the top seven are a shoo-in they could avoid adding a fifth to the mix by picking Peter Handscomb over Matt Renshaw. What to expect: As per on-ground reports the pitch is being prepared to aid turn unsurprisingly. So both teams would be shaping their sides in a bid to exploit and counter the challenges it could offer. Pitch and conditions Spin-friendly & a clear threat to left-handers. Nagpur weather is usually hot and dry. Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

India vs New Zealand 3rd T20 Live This Match Will be Played at Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad on 1st February 2023 This Match Will Start at 7.00pm From Indian Standard time. IND vs NZ 3rd T20 Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan The series is set at equilibrium and we have one more match to get the winner of the series. India and New Zealand will be playing against each other in the third and final match of the T20I series. After Ranchi and Lucknow the decider will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad. After a horrendous ODI series New Zealand started the shorter formats with a win under their name. Batting first the fifties from Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell helped the Kiwis to post a total of 176 runs. India failed to chase it down despite valiant efforts from Suryakumar Yadav and Washington Sundar. The Men in Blue bounced back in the 2nd T20I after they managed to make a heavy weather of a paltry total. It was Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya who helped the side to go over the line by keeping their calm. While the visitors will be looking to redeem themselves from the ODI series against India the 'Men in Blue' will look to keep their record intact. Team news India: The hosts left out Umran Malik for a second spinner in Yuzvendra Chahal and the pitch again will dictate that decision. Team news New Zealand: The visitors have played the same side on what were slightly different surfaces and they are unlikely to make any change for the decider. While the pitch in Ranchi left Hardik Pandya "surprised" the India captain was "shocked" by what was on offer in Lucknow. And when the talk is largely about the playing surface ahead of a series decider especially with India's proud record of 12 undefeated home series on the line something's got to give. Ahmedabad the venue for the third and final T20I between India and New Zealand has had its fair share of debate around pitches in the past. And the last thing both teams would want is another tricky T20 surface that sees Lockie Ferguson bowl as many overs as Mark Chapman; or Deepak Hooda twice as many as Yuzvendra Chahal. Pitch aside India will know that there's work to be done especially with a young side that's trying to ready itself for 2024. After a breezy ODI whitewash the T20I rubber hasn't been as easy for the hosts. While the death bowling cost them in Ranchi their batting was under the scanner two days later; India got past a target of 100 with only a ball to spare. But the challenging conditions stole the thunder away hardly allowing the team to assess their progress. For example Arshdeep Singh bowled the 20th over again after copping some heat in the first T20I but that he was up against a team limping at 94/8 hardly lent credibility to his five-run last over. For New Zealand this is a great opportunity. They are without a host of their frontline players like Trent Boult Kane Williamson and Tim Southee and are in with a shot to beat India in a T20I series at home - the bragging rights for which has belonged only to Australia and West Indies in the last eight years. For Mitchell Santner's team that will be a great shot in the arm and expect the side to mount a good challenge for the hosts pitch permitting of course. What to expect: A nervous curator. And a fair few cheers for Hardik Pandya the Gujarat Titans captain who is also leading the India T20I side now. Like most Indian grounds teams have preferred to bat second here but in the last couple of games here against England India showed that it is in fact possible to defend targets here. That said those games were played in March; this one could see some fair amount of dew though. It will be interesting to see what pitch the match is played on (Ahmedabad has both red and black soil pitches) but expect the venue to be buzzing again with capacity crowds.

India vs New Zealand 2nd T20 Live Scores This Match Will be Played at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium Lucknow on 29th January 2023 This Match Will Start at 7.00pm From Indian Standard time.

Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow is all set to witness an electrifying encounter between India and New Zealand in the second T20 match of the series. The Black Caps lead the series 1-0 and will be keen to extend their advantage while the hosts will be looking to bounce back and level the series. Washington Sundar was the standout performer for India in the last match scoring a quick-fire 50 and taking two wickets for only 22 runs. The Indian openers had a forgettable outing in the last match and will be under scrutiny once again. The openers Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan will need to step up and provide a solid start. Skipper Hardik Pandya who scored 21 runs in the last match will look to make a significant contribution with the bat. The Indian pace attack will be looking to improve their performance after leaking runs in the last match. With the series on the line both teams will be eager to come out all guns blazing and put on a show for the fans. The Indian team will be looking to make a statement and bounce back after their loss in Ranchi while New Zealand will aim to continue their winning momentum and seal the series. The stage is set for a thrilling encounter and cricket lovers are in for a treat. Fact: Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow has hosted a total of 5 T20Is till now and the team batting first have won all of the 5 matches. So don't get surprised if the toss-winning team opts to bat first at this venue. Hardik Pandya (India Captain): "Yeah we were also thinking to bat first but yeah bowling is also fine. Looking forward to this game there can't be anything more challenging in a bilateral series. We will make errors and we will grow from them. We have one change today Yuzi comes in for Umran." Mitchell Santner (New Zealand Captain): "We will bat first. The stats say that chasing is challenging here. It was nice to bounce back after a tough One Day series. Different guys stepping up at different times. It's never easy to beat India at home. There were times when we thought we were ahead of the game but they bounced back with the partnership between Surya and Hardik. The boundaries here are big and nice for a spinner. We are going with the same team." Pitch Report (Danny Morrison & Ajit Agarkar): "One of the bigger grounds in India. 77m today for the straight hit 69m square on one side 67m on the other. It has a garish appearance. It has red dirt similar to Mumbai. The hitter won't have time if there is grip or movement off the pitch since it will happen quickly. An acceptable pitch. If there isn't any dew it could be challenging to bat on this wicket for the team batting second." Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

India vs New Zealand 1st T20 Live This Match Will be Played at JSCA International Stadium Complex Ranchi on 27th January 2023 This Match Will Start at 7.00pm From Indian Standard time. IND vs NZ 1st T20 Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan After being whitewashed 3-0 in the ODIs New Zealand will lock horns with India in the first of the three T20Is on Friday. The match is scheduled at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. India will be without their two stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Also with Jasprit Bumrah missing Hardik Pandya will again have a young seam bowling unit to lead in the series. However despite the key players' absence team India looks rock-solid studded with the likes of Suryakumar Yadav Shubman Gill Ishan Kishan Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh. It will also be interesting to see if Prithvi Shaw makes his much-awaited international comeback in the very first game. He will fight a virtual contest with Gill Ishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad for an opening slot in the playing XI. This series will also give the much-needed opportunities to Rahul Tripathi and Deepak Hooda to upgrade their status from fringe players to regulars in the shortest format. The visitors will look to erase the scars of the ODI series and start the T20Is on a winning note. But their journey won't be easy as they will miss ace pacers Tim Southee and Trent Boult. So the onus will be on their batting unit comprising Finn Allen Devon Conway Glenn Phillips Daryl Mitchell and the sensational Michael Bracewell. It will also be a litmus test for Mitchell Santner who besides batting and bowling will have the additional responsibility of leadership. Lockie Ferguson who was abysmal in the ODIs must perform as the leader of the bowling attack by not only putting up impressive performances but also guiding the young guns like Henry Shipley Jacob Duffy and Blair Tickner. So who will win? Team News New Zealand: After impressing in the ODI series Michael Bracewell will be a shoo-in for the T20Is. Ben Lister could be making his debut. Team News India: Ruturaj Gaikwad stands ruled out of the series with wrist pain/injury but India haven't asked for a replacement. They are likely to stick with the opening pair of Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill which served them well recently against Sri Lanka. There's also Prithvi Shaw in the squad this time having forced his way back with the sheer weight of runs at the domestic level and how India try and bring him into the scheme of things will be something to keep an eye on. There's no Harshal Patel this time around and the returning Kuldeep Yadav could challenge Yuzvendra Chahal's spot. What to expect: A whole lot of MS Dhoni t-shirts in the stands. Only three T20 Internationals have been hosted at this ground with the last one being a rematch between India and NZ here in 2021. Tim Southee and Harshal Patel's cutters headlined the slow pitch on that occasion but India have played on much better pitches this season and something similar could be expected in Ranchi. Watch out for the big boundaries at this venue. Pitch Report: The pitch at Ranchi's JSCA International Stadium Complex offers a balanced surface in T20 cricket. The average first innings score here is 133 but India easily chased a 154-run target against Kiwis in the last T20I game played here.

India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI Live Scores This Match Will be Played at Holkar Cricket Stadium Indore on 24th January 2023 This Match Will Start at 1.30pm From Indian Standard time. IND vs NZ 3rd ODI Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan Hello & Welcome in the Second Innings where New Zealand Need 386 Runs to win in 300 Balls. 385 is a massive total in ODIs but is it safe enough on this ground if dew is expected to set in? Time will tell. First things first. Outstanding effort from Rohit and Gill to put a double-century opening stand. 420 looked easily possible at one stage but the Blackcaps made a stellar comeback as the ball aged. Ball was stopping on the batters and India lost 6 wickets for 101 runs. Pressure was totally shifted back to India and it took a determined Hardik Pandya to steer them out of trouble again. Shardul gave him a great hand and the duo added a brisk 54-run stand to lift the dressing room again. Lockie and Santner were really good with the ball. Tickner was impressive too while Duffy was taken to the cleaners despite taking three wickets. New Zealand should fancy their chances too because they bat deep and if they have wickets in hands and if dew sets in it won't be easy for the Indian bowlers. If dew stays away we could see Kul-Cha trouble New Zealand. 386 is by no means an easy target but the dew factor can prove to be the ally for the Kiwis. They need a strong foundation at the top of the order or the asking rate will mount too much on them. Rohit is having a chat with his teammates in the huddle and everyone's body language is positive and relaxed. Hardik Pandya to start off with the new ball Despite Tom Latham calling it right and choosing to bowl first the Kiwi bowlers failed to start well with the ball allowing India to get off to a flyer. The visitors kept bowling loose deliveries and were blown away by the onslaught of the Indian openers. However once they broke the opening stand they clawed their way back into the game during the last 20 overs of their bowling effort. They kept chipping in with wickets at regular intervals and did not allow India to gather any momentum. Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur did trouble them towards the end but they got rid of both batters before they could inflict any more damage. Lockie Ferguson ​​​​Mitchell Santner went wicketless today but bowled economical spells. Jacob Duffy and Blair Tickner accounted for three wickets each while Michael Bracewell finished with a wicket to his name. This has been a solid fightback by New Zealand and they have done extremely well to keep India under 400. At one stage India were on course to post a total in excess of 400 but they end up with 385 on the board. Having been sent into bat first India were off to a flying start courtesy of their openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Both batters notched up their respective hundreds and stitched a 212-run opening stand. However once this partnership was broken India lost their way in the innings and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. The 54-run stand between Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur provided India with some much-needed impetus towards the back end of the innings. Despite failing to cross the 400-run mark India have a challenging total on the board. We are into the ODI World Cup year now and though T20 cricket continues to entertain us with all T20 leagues around the world ODI cricket has taken the centerstage in international cricket. It is now time for the third and final ODI of this three-match ODI series between India and New Zealand and with India taking an unassailable lead of 2-0 after winning the second ODI we can expect some changes in both sides as they look to fine-tune their preparation ahead of the World Cup.

India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI Live This Match Will be Played at Holkar Cricket Stadium Indore on 24th January 2023 This Match Will Start at 1.30pm From Indian Standard time. IND vs NZ 3rd ODI Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan On Tuesday hosts India will lock horns with New Zealand in the final ODI of the three-match series in Indore. Having won the first two games India have already clinched the series. After sealing a narrow 12-run victory in the first match in Hyderabad the hosts discovered their vintage best to demolish the Blackcaps by eight wickets in the second fixture in Raipur. While Mohammed Shami answered his critics brilliantly Rohit Sharma unleashed himself to demoralize the visitors in the second half. However their only concern is Virat Kohli who is yet to fire in the series. So moving on to this game the Men in Blue would like the talismanic batter to regain his touch as they will enter the field to ensure a clean sweep. On the other hand New Zealand have had a forgettable tour so far. Despite Michael Bracewell's sensational knock they fell 12 runs short of the target in Hyderabad. However the Kiwis were a pale shadow of themselves in Raipur as they surrendered to the rampant Indian bowling unit. Importantly if we remove Bracewell's hundred none of the Kiwi batters has had an impact in the series. Their bowling has been equally woeful as Lockie Ferguson Henry Shipley and Blair Tickner have failed miserably to keep the Indians on their toes. So if they want to change their fortunes they must regroup and play with a nothing to lose approach in this clash. So who will win? Now that India have already secured the series the focus on the final ODI appears to dwindle with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on the horizon. However when the game does eventually get underway things might change given it is set to be played in Indore - a venue that has gained reputation for being a batting beauty and is now set to host some elite stroke-makers. Just over three months ago South Africa and India played out a T20I in which Rilee Rossouw smashed a 48-ball 100. In total the ball sailed over the ropes 27 times on that night. Can that be replicated? Or even be topped given this is a 50-over contest? One cannot rule that out given both teams scored over 300 in both the innings in the first ODI. More importantly the visitors would hope for a better batting display from their top order that hasn't fired so far in the series. Finn Allen is yet to make a mark in the ODI format. Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell have been amongst the runs but didn't make an impression in these two games. Henry Nicholls hasn't done himself any favours as well in place of Kane Williamson. They probably won't get a better opportunity to get back amongst the runs despite the fact that their confidence would have been shaken after the second game. There's also a T20I series that's coming up so a good showing here will keep them in good stead ahead of those three games. Team News India: Will Rajat Patidar get a game? Seems unlikely. The batting order for India might remain unchanged. Umran Malik might get a go in place of either Mohammed Siraj or Mohammed Shami. Team News New Zealand: Will New Zealand throw in Jacob Duffy and Doug Bracewell straightaway on a batting paradise having not given them a game so far? What to expect: Clear skies are expected on match day. It's been more than five years since Indore hosted a 50-over contest. India easily chased down a 290-plus target in that contest against Australia. Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live This Match Will be Played at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium Raipur on 21st January 2023 This Match Will Start at 1.30pm From Indian Standard time. IND vs NZ 2nd ODI Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan On Saturday New Zealand will lock horns with hosts India in the second ODI of the ongoing three-match series. This game holds significant importance for the Kiwis as a loss here will hand them a series defeat. Although India won the first game they must be disappointed with how they bowled in the latter half of the New Zealand innings. Despite reducing the visitors to 131 for six the Men in Blue allowed Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell to stitch a mammoth 162-run stand for the seventh wicket. As expected Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav were clinical but the other Indian bowlers especially Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya didn't live up to the expectations. On the batting front Virat Kohli must be raring to make his mark in the series while Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav should focus on converting their starts into match-winning knocks. On the other hand Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell were the only positives for New Zealand in the first game. While the Kiwi bowling unit looked in absolute shambles their batters barring Finn Allen succumbed to the scoreboard pressure. So moving on to this game the visitors must regroup and work on their grey areas to restore parity in the series. With the series at stake the likes of Devon Conway Tom Latham and Lockie Ferguson must take ownership and inspire the younger lots to come up with influential returns in this face-off. So can the visitors restore parity? India and New Zealand put on a show in Hyderabad in the opening ODI of the series where the visitors staged a dramatic comeback to almost pull off a heist. As much as it's hard to replicate it in the very next game Raipur would absolutely wish for something closer to that as they brace themselves to host their first-ever international match. Playing host to an epic game would help them in their bid to secure more international matches in the future going ahead which could turn out to be a spectacle given the stadium can accommodate over 60000 people. While another trophy is now within their grasp India's major focus will continue to be on building the ideal side for the World Cup. In the absence of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer the team management would hope the likes of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav get more time out in the middle. As things stand these two appear to be the backup for the top five. Unless they grab their opportunities that scenario might change by the time the World Cup gets closer. Not often do batters follow up a double-century with another big knock. Can Shubman Gill break that trend? You wouldn't count that against him given his last three scores prior to the double ton are 116 21 and 70. While the batting lineup does look extremely strong at the moment India's focus will be on their bowlers. A few days ago they allowed Dasun Shanaka to score big while rallying alongside the tail. And in Hyderabad they were again on top at one stage but couldn't get that decisive wicket for a long time which would have put them in the driver's seat. Team News India: Rajat Patidar might have to wait as the hosts will look to stick to the same combination. Shardul Thakur gives India a handy batting option at No.8 so Umran Malik won't find it easy to force his way back in. Team News New Zealand: The visitors might stick with the same XI as well. At the most a change might be in store in the bowling department. What to expect: No rain is expected during the game with moderate temperatures set to welcome both sides. The surface will carry a bit of mystery given the venue hasn't hosted international cricket yet. Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

The face-off is scheduled at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. After a shocking 2-1 defeat to Bangladesh last year India got off to a remarkable start in 2023 whitewashing Sri Lanka by 3-0 on home soil. While the stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli rediscovered their vintage best youngster Shubman Gill proved why he is regarded as the next big thing in Indian cricket. However the two biggest positives for the Men in Blue were the evolution of Mohammed Siraj as a force in the powerplay and Kuldeep Yadav's redemption. Meanwhile KL Rahul's absence has posed a massive challenge for Ishan Kishan as he will likely bat in the middle-order in the series. Also it will be interesting to see if Shardul Thakur justifies his selection as it will be a litmus test for India's comeback man to prove his mettle with bat and ball. Like their opponents New Zealand is coming on the back of a historic series win over Pakistan. But replicating the same in India will be more challenging for the Blackcaps as they will miss their two key players Kane Williamson and Tim Southee. So the onus will be on Tom Latham who has enjoyed stellar success against India in ODIs. Additionally the likes of Henry Nicholls Devon Conway and Glenn Phillips are capable of winning the game on any given day. Although the Kiwis have come up with a solid spin unit studded with Ish Sodhi Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell their pace battery looks slightly off-colour on paper. So it will be fascinating to see how their seamers fare against India's formidable batting unit in the series. So can the visitors surprise the hosts? Team News India: There's no update on Yuzvendra Chahal's shoulder injury he sustained while diving in the first ODI against Sri Lanka which has now kept him out for two straight games. Axar's absence will allow India to try out Washington Sundar for an extended period in that no.7 slot. Shardul Thakur may get a look in at some point in the series maybe ahead of Umran Malik who picked up key middle-overs wickets but bowled at an economy of more than 6.8 in both games against Sri Lanka and was rested for the third. Team News New Zealand: Henry Nicholls could be the front-runner to replace Williamson in the XI from their last game while in the bowling department the toss up would be between the returning medium-pace allrounder Dough Bracewell or Blair Tickner. All three last played for New Zealand between April-July 2022. What to expect: Clear blue skies a sunny afternoon and no chances of rain interruption whatsoever.
