Kiwis whose lost practice match against Board President XI will be looking for a comeback and take the revenge against host as India defeat Kiwis last year in limited over format. Virat and his men’s are ready for action after five days long festival ‘Diwali’. India is quite familiar with the home condition and also gets home side advantage on their side. Team India in their last ten games won nine which is nearly a perfect ten performance. New Zealand's batsmen know they will have to subdue India's spinners if they are to have any chance of winning their three-match One Day International series starting Sunday.
Kiwi batsman Tom Latham said the visitors were leaving no stone unturned in seeking a way to counter the Indian pair, who come into the series in the best form of their careers. He has been well supported by the 27-year-old Chahal, who suffering the Australians with his deceptive leg spinners to bag six wickets in four matches. Latham has been in good form himself, accumulate a rapid-fire 108 in New Zealand's 33-run win over an Indian Board President's XI in the visitors' second and final warm-up match in Mumbai.
