IND vs NZ 1st Test Day 2 Predictions and Betting Tips

India have taken on New Zealand in the first of the two-match Test series of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-22 battle. This match is being played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from November 25 Thursday. Since I am here on business, therefore I would like you to know that we can make money from Day 2 of this ongoing IND vs NZ battle. Therefore, I have brought along the top three betting tips.

Having won the toss, it was quite a no-brainer for the stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane to bat first against New Zealand. India have a number of stars missing from their squad but the last time they played with an inexperienced squad against a full-strength Australia, we all know what happened! Let’s not get ahead of us and focus on the main story for now. Both teams have played fantastic cricket on the first day on a pitch that seemed to keep low throughout the day. India’s nemesis from New Zealand, Kylie Jamieson yet again proved to be lethal as he scalped three wickets out of the four the hosts lost. But it was Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja, who managed to thwart any sort of threat thereafter and helped India reach a total of 252/4 at stumps on Day 1. Shubman Gill scored yet another fifty early on in the day as well. While we wait for the second day’s action to begin, let me take you through the top betting tips from the IND vs NZ 1st Test Day 2 clash.

IND vs NZ Player Bets:

Since Parimatch is yet to offer the odds for Day 2 of this humdinger of a game, we will have to settle for the following tips from the IND vs NZ 1st Test match prediction.

Shreyas Iyer to bat through

It took a while for Shreyas Iyer to make his Test debut for India and better late than never. In the absence of KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant, it was almost inevitable that Iyer would make his Test debut and so far it has been a very good one. The question remains, can he become yet another Indian to score a century on his debut? I believe yes he can! The right-handed batsman from Mumbai has had a very decorated First-class career so far. Iyer has played 52 First-class games and has 4592 runs at an incredible average of 52.18. In that, he has 12 centuries and 23 half-centuries. There are no other players other than Shreyas Iyer in First-class cricket with 4000-plus runs and an average of above 50 and a strike rate of above 80. He is currently batting on 75* and is expected to bat longer through the innings. Wait until Parimatch offers the best odds for Shreyas Iyer to score a lot more runs from the IND vs NZ 1st Test Day 2 match prediction.

Ravindra Jadeja to continue showcasing his Test batting skills

The left-handed all-rounder has been going through a wonderful patch and it is evident that he has worked hard on his batting, especially, in the longest format of the game. Jadeja has become a vital cog in that lower middle-order for India in Test cricket. He has now played 56 Test matches and has 2145 runs under his belt at an average of 34.04. The southpaw has played 8 matches against the Black Caps and has 317 runs at an impressive average of 45.28. Eight out of his 17 fifties have come since 2019 in Test cricket and he has already scored one in this ongoing game against the Kiwis. Under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane, Jadeja has played 5 matches and has 218 runs at an outstanding average of 72.66. In the first match innings, the left-handed batter has an average of 38.28 and that has already been surpassed. Parimatch are likely to offer the best of odds for Ravindra Jadeja to score a few more runs from the IND vs NZ 1st Test Day 2 match prediction.

Jadeja to be the next man out

This was not a very easy one to choose considering the fact that Shreyas Iyer is playing only his debut game in Test cricket. But somehow the composure and his First-class record have empowered me to believe that Iyer will hang around more than Jadeja will. To be honest with you guys, the left hander scored a fifty in Test cricket after 6 innings in 2021. The last time Jadeja went past the 60-run mark was back in October 2019 and that was against South Africa in Pune. Also, the last time Jadeja scored a fifty against New Zealand was back in 2016 and coincidentally, it was at the same venue (Green Park Stadium in Kanpur). He has played three knocks here and all of them are against New Zealand and is yet to be dismissed. However, he has not scored more than 50* runs against the Black Caps in his career. Currently, Jadeja is batting on 50* from 100 balls and I expect him to get out before Shreyas Iyer does tomorrow in the IND vs NZ 1st Test Day 2 match prediction. Don’t worry as Parimatch is most likely to have your back in this case!
