Nagpur Field – When Team India failed to even reach the target of 127 runs, the match was lost by 47 runs.

The Indian and Australian teams (IND vs AUS) will meet today at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. The Indian team has played four games at this ground in the past, recording two wins and two losses. The match took place here on March 15, 2016, so the India team would never want to remember it even as a lesson. This was the match, when the Indian team could not even achieve the goal of only 127 runs.

Actually bowlers get a good help at Nagpur wicket. This help increases even more in the second inning. This is why, even though the average score of the teams batting first is only 151 here, the team batting second cannot record a win. In 9 of the 12 T20Is held here, only the team batting first has won.

India and New Zealand met on this ground six and a half years ago. In this game, Kane Williamson won the toss and chose to bat first. New Zealand got off to a poor start and the wickets kept falling one after another from the start. Martin Guptill (6) in the first over, Colin Munro (7) returned to the pavilion in the second over. After this, Kane Williamson (8) and Ross Taylor (10) also continued walking. Here Corey Anderson (34), Luke Ronchi (21) and Mitchell Santner (18) somehow pushed the Kiwi team past 100. In the allotted 20 overs, New Zealand scored 126 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. The Indian Spinners took three and the Fast Bowlers took two wickets. Two players were exhausted and returned to the pavilion.
