The India vs New Zealand test match at Nagpur is officially over and India have won the game by a huge margin, and eventually clinching the series. New Zealand has lost the game by an innings, after India provided them with more than 350 runs on the board in first innings. The ball had been spinning and turning the way it is supposed to on a subcontinent pitch.
India in their first innings totaled 566 runs on the board and New Zealand had to stand firm against the Indian bowling attack if they wanted to win this game, but sadly this did not happen. The Indian spin attack once again proved to be lethal, and this time they preyed on the New Zealand batting lineup, which collapsed consistently.
Ishant Sharma and Harbhajan Singh were the bowling highlight of the day, as each of them plucked three wickets for themselves. New Zealand commenced the day with 24/1, but in the first session itself it was clear enough to see that the kiwi’s began to wobble. India has successfully clinched the series 1-0 and once again proved that they are at their best when it comes to be playing in the subcontinent.
