New Zealand’s cricket team is currently facing difficulties in Test cricket and is up against tough challenges in India. The first Test match in Bengaluru is under the threat of being disrupted by rain. The team has recently faced a 2-0 series defeat in Sri Lanka and is now up against a strong Indian team, which is targeting a spot in their third consecutive World Test Championship final. The absence of crucial players such as Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor has further weakened the New Zealand team. Their ability to perform well in Indian conditions is also a major worry.
