Playing against New Zealand, the Indian team has won the seventh consecutive series at home. In the second ODI match played between India and New Zealand at Raipur, the India team won by 8 wickets and took an unbeatable 2-0 lead. After winning the series against New Zealand, former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja advised many teams including team Pakistan that all teams should learn from India how to win home series against good teams.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rameez Raja said: “It’s hard to beat India at home. This is a matter of learning for other teams on the subcontinent, including Pakistan. This is because Pakistan have enough potential but they are not as consistent as the Indian team in terms of results and winning series. This is an important victory for the Indian team in the 2023 World Cup year.
He further said: “New Zealand is not a bad team. They are the top ranking team. They lost at their own game as there was no confidence, credibility and rhythm in batting. Indian bowlers don’t have much pace, but they do have quality. He has gotten used to bowling in one area. The field is made according to the position of the seam. Create pressure with glide that is a sight to behold. A perfect performance. The spinners also bowled brilliantly.
Prior to the India tour, the New Zealand team toured Pakistan. Where a series of two Test matches and three ODIs was played between Pakistan and New Zealand. The Test series ended in a draw. At the same time, New Zealand defeated Pakistan 3-1 in the ODI series.
