IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction 2nd Test: In the first Test of the series in Bengaluru, New Zealand registered their third Test match win on Indian soil and their first in 36 years.
That result sent shockwaves down the Asian giants, as now, in the second Test in Pune, the Black Caps have a chance to clinch their first Test series in India, who have won all their home Test series since 2013 and in this period not lost more than one Test match in a series.
In Pune, India will look to bounce back to level the series and take it to the decider in Mumbai, while New Zealand aim to squash India’s revered home dominance. While Shubman Gill is expected to return to India’s XI after missing the Bengaluru Test due to neck stiffness, New Zealand will remain without Kane Williamson as he recovers from a groin injury.

India vs New Zealand 2nd Test pitch and weather report:
The pitch in Pune is set to favor the spinners heavily after India lost in the pace-friendly conditions in Bengaluru. The black soil surface will offer turn and low bounce; it will be a slow turner, thus bringing the Indian spinners more into play than the surface did at the Chinnaswamy.
India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Dream11 Captaincy Prediction:
R Ashwin is a good Dream11 captaincy option for the second Test in Pune. Ashwin didn’t do much in Bengaluru, and knowing the champion competitor that he is, Ashwin will be desperate to make a match-winning contribution in the second Test. With New Zealand having a number of left-handers and the pitch now being spin-friendly, expect Ashwin to be among the wickets.
IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction 2nd Test 3 players to watch out for:
The 3 players to watch out for in the India vs New Zealand 2nd Test are Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, and Rachin Ravindra.
