India chasing history

Napier, March 25: History beckons India as it prepares to take on an inexperienced and demoralised New Zealand tomorrow in the second cricket Test, a victory in which would give the visitors their first series triumph here in 41 years.

Leading 1-0 in the three-match series, the Indian team has been in decimating form and is high on confidence as it seeks to wrap up the three-match series with a win.

In contrast to India’s three-seamer, one-spinner combination, New Zealand have packed their attack with two spinners and three seamers for the contest at the McLean Park.

The hosts are hoping that off-spinner Jeetan Patel would give them the edge if the wicket assists spin. THE SENTINEL
