India lost several wickets early in the Wellington Test, leaving the Black Caps with a slim chance to pull off a surprise victory.
The Test match between India and New Zealand continued at Wellington's Basin Reserve, with both sides looking to gain momentum. New Zealand, playing as the Black Caps, found themselves trailing but remained in contention.
India's batting line‑up faltered early, losing a string of wickets that put the team under pressure and reduced their total considerably. The dismissals came at regular intervals, limiting India's ability to post a commanding score.
Despite the setback, the Black Caps are now eyeing an unlikely win, hoping to capitalize on India's weakened position. Their bowlers are tasked with maintaining the pressure while the batsmen aim to chase a modest target, making the outcome of the match uncertain.
If New Zealand can sustain their current momentum, they could secure a surprising victory on foreign soil, a result that would be celebrated by their supporters and noted as a rare comeback in the series.
