India vs New Zealand LIVE Score Streaming: The play on Day 1 was abandoned due to the rain at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on October 16. The Men in Blue whitewashed Bangladesh in the two-match Test series and will look to win the opening Test against Tom Latham and Co. in the remaining four days.
The persistent rain in Bengaluru prevented even the toss from taking place and the ground remained under the covers for a full day. After tea, the officials called off the play around 2:30 PM IST as rain continued to fall heavily.
The Men in Blue are currently in first position in the World Test Championship (WTC) table with a point percentage of 74.24 and Australia is in the second spot with a point percentage of 62.50. New Zealand is in sixth position after losing a Test series against Sri Lanka.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma didn’t have a great series against Bangladesh and both will look to score big runs against Blackcaps. Jaiswal, Pant and Shubman Gill batted brilliantly in the Bangladesh series while Jadeja and Ashwin’s all-round performance also helped the team to beat The Bangla Tigers.
