The second Test between India and New Zealand kicked off at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium from OCt. 24-28, 2024. New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first. The decision, made by New Zealand’s stand-in captain Tom Latham, was influenced by the dry pitch conditions expected to favor spinners as the match progressed.
Toss Report
Tom Latham, who is leading the side in the absence of Kane Williamson, chose to bat first on a pitch that looked dry and devoid of grass. “We want to put up a good score on the board and take advantage of the conditions early on,” Latham said at the toss. New Zealand made a crucial change, bringing in Mitchell Santner for Matt Henry, who was sidelined due to a glute niggle.
