The T20 series between India v/s New Zealand is coming to a conclusion and so far it has been a one-sided affair. We have seen the historical super overs twice now and it is possible that we might see a super over once again in the 5th India v/s New Zealand T20 match. Men in Blue will be going against the Kiwis in Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. The stadium has witnessed a total number of 8 T20 matches in the past. Out of which 7 times the batting first team has triumphed.
Pitch Conditions
As mentioned above, the ground majorly favours the team batting first. In the last match, New Zealanders won the toss and decided to bowl first. Repeating the decision again in the 5th match might attract unfavourable results for the team. We can expect a huge score from the batting first team and the team chasing will have an advantage.
Point of No Return for the Kiwis.
So far, team India has dominated New Zealand with huge margins. Matches moving towards the super overs twice in a row are a clear indication that New Zealanders may have lost the battle but their spirits are intact and they are playing to win the war. Team India is the clear cut winner in the series but this last match can really make a difference for Kiwis before the ODI series commences.
