IND vs NZ: Wasim Jaffer Expecting Better Batting Conditions In India vs New Zealand Ahmedabad T20I

Former India National Cricket Team opening batsman Wasim Jaffer is expecting better batting conditions in Ahmedabad for the T20I series decider between India and New Zealand.

In the first two games of the ongoing T20I series, turning wickets were produced that provided a lot of support to the spin bowlers. The series decider third T20I will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 1, and many are expecting a batting-friendly pitch for the game.

Speaking on ESPNcricinfo, Jaffer said that he is expecting a better surface in Ahmedabad compared to the first two games.

He said: “I feel Ahmedabad will have better batting conditions. I feel it will be a good game. I’ll be surprised if there is so much spin because generally, we get to see a lot of good games in Ahmedabad. Probably a score around 160-170 is what I am expecting and the pitch to play a lot better compared to the last two games.

“It will be a big crowd in Ahmedabad and hopefully they will get to see a very good game. Hopefully, India wins the series there.”

Come out with a fresh mindset, be aggressive – Wasim Jaffer’s message to India’s top-order

Indian top-order batters – Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan and Rahul Tripathi – have failed to perform well in the first two T20Is against New Zealand. Meanwhile, Wasim Jaffer has advised the trio to bat freely and be aggressive in the third T20I.

He elaborated: “They need to forget what happened in the last two games. It doesn’t often happen that you get back-to-back pitches like this. They need to get it out of the system. Come out with a fresh mindset, be aggressive like they have been so far and put their best foot forward for the third T20I.”
