India in battle for survival on Day 6

June 23, 2021 14:34

Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar in his pitch report believes that the pitch will be good for batting.

He thinks the match will end in a draw unless India collapse, while adding that he India doesn't have enough time set New Zealand a target and then bowl out the Kiwis.

"With the sun beating down, it will ease out. The first hour will be crucial, the ball will move around a bit and then it will become a good wicket for the batsmen.

It looks like a draw, unless India lose a few quick wickets before lunch which will help New Zealand push for victory.

I can't see India pressing for runs in such a manner where they can set New Zealand a target."
