Can New Zealand Chase 284 Runs In Kanpur On Day 5?

By Sahil Mathur November 28, 2021 • 17:43 PM View: 3265

India has pushed New Zealand to the back foot at the end of day 4 where the visitors need 284 runs to win the first test match at Green Park Stadium. Although the Kanpur pitch hasn't had any demons in it so far but chasing a total of more than 250 won't be an easy task due to its slow and low nature.

Another reason why chasing here isn't easy is because of what history tells us. In the first three innings, the batting averages remain in the 30s but it drops sharply in the early 20s in the 4th innings.
