2nd Test between India and New Zealand: Pitch Report and Weather Forecast at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune

The second Test match between India and New Zealand is scheduled to take place at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune starting from Thursday (24 October). With India currently trailing 0-1 in the 3-match series, the team is eager to win the Pune Test at any cost in order to avoid losing the series. The first Test in Bengaluru was heavily impacted by rain, allowing the Kiwis to capitalize on the conditions. Fans and players alike will be keeping a close eye on the weather forecast for the Pune Test, as unpredictable weather could once again play a significant role in the outcome of the match. Additionally, the condition of the pitch in Pune will also be crucial in determining how the teams approach the game.

According to AccuWeather’s report, there is a possibility of 1 per cent rain on Thursday, 0 per cent on Friday, 1 per cent on Saturday, 5 per cent on Sunday and 10 per cent on Monday.

India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Pitch Report:

Talking about the pitch report of the second Test between India and New Zealand, spinners can get help. The grass was removed from the pitch two days before the Test match. The pitch here can be dry. Due to the pitch being of black soil, there will be no bounce here. Only 2 Test matches have been played in Pune. The Indian team has lost 1 match and won 1. Virat Kohli has played his best Test innings here.

Indian team can provide a pitch suitable for spinners, but it is unlikely to be a rank turner because doing so twice in the past has backfired for India. Eight years ago Australia defeated them here by 333 runs, while last year in Indore Australia defeated them by nine wickets. It is unlikely that the ball will start spinning a lot from the first session in Pune.
