All the participating countries of the ICC World Cup Cricket 2011 have been allotted two warm-up matches each before the start of the tournament. These warm-up matches are to be played amongst the participating teams from different groups.

India which is in Group B have been given two practice games against two teams from Group A. On 13th February, India will take on Australia. And on 16th February, India will face New Zealand in its second and last warm-up match.

While technically this match counts for nothing (it is only an unofficial one day international), however it will be the last chance for both India and New Zealand to sort out their team before the business begins in this World Cup.

The idea for the captains Dhoni and Vettori would be try to give each one of their 15 team members a chance during these two warm-up matches. Even though, for example, it may appear that Piyush Chawla won’t get a game, but one can never be sure. On wickets which are going to offer a lot of assistance to spinners, it may not be a bad idea to play an extra spinner in place of a bowler.

Thus this India vs New Zealand warm-up match becomes important. So don’t miss the live telecast of this match on Star Cricket on 16th February.

The 1st ODI of the series turned out to be a rather tame affair with India winning the match in Guwahati quite easily. Virat Kohli scored a match winning hundred, and New Zealand were never really in the chase though the final scoreline might suggest otherwise. It was only thanks to some good partnerships at the end that New Zealand managed to reach where they finally did.

But India will need to sort out a few things too. A late burst from Andy McKay meant that India folded much sooner than they should have. India lost its last few wickets too soon for comfort. A score of 271 was less than what they what they would have bargained for in the middle of the innings.

New Zealand can also take heart from the fact that they were playing without their experienced captain Daniel Vettori. A sore back kept him out of the 1st ODI, but he should hopefully be back for the more important 2nd ODI tomorrow.

Match Summary: thus far ( close to end of play on day 1 of the test)

New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori won the toss in the morning and elected to bat first on what looked like a hard wicket, conducive to batting. Remember that this is the first ever time that the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad is hosting a test match, so the decision did involve a bit of risk because new wickets tend to behave funny at times.

Vettori may have been worried immediately because the first wicket fell early on. Brendon McCullum who had looked good in the first test fell with the score reading just 4, both against his name and the team’s. However, McIntosh, the other opener who had completely failed in the 1st test then hung on with Martin Guptill who was the aggressor of the two. The duo took New Zealand past 150 and it was on 151 that Guptill fell to a dubious umpiring decision.

Since then they have progressed to 236/3. The Kiwis are looking good at the moment, and if the behaviour of the wicket on the first day of this India - New Zealand test is any indicator, then this match looks headed for a draw. But din’t the last game suddenly come alive in the last phase? So hang on, watch the live cricket, enjoy. In cricket, anything is possible.

The 2nd India - New Zealand Test Match starts in about 2 hours from now in Napier. India who won the 1st Test are chasing a historic test series win in New Zealand. A team which waited for 33 years for a test victory on Kiwi soil suddenly has a chance of making it 2 wins in 2 tests. Now that will be some achievement indeed. It is also a homage to the man at the helm of Indian cricket - Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Dhoni is leading from the front and has completely transformed the attitude of Team India. They look for a win in every match, and look capable of doing it every time.

If the form of the Indian cricketers so far on this tour is anything to go by, New Zealand don’t stand a realistic chance of stopping their juggernaut at Napier. The two Indian openers look in good nick, the middle order looks long, stable and strong and the bowling looks menacing. Can NZ stop them? Watch the Live Cricket Streaming of the match to find out. 

Tendulkar has just completed his 42nd test hundred as India have taken full control of the 1st Test at Hamilton. Captain MS Dhoni is giving the Little Master company as India are well placed at 340/5 - already 61 runs ahead and looking good for a 200 runs lead. Now that will be too much for New Zealand to handle, won’t it?

It has been fascinating watching the live cricket streaming of this India vs New Zealand match - Tendulkar has played some sublime shots so far, and is looking very good.

India are currently leading New Zealand 2-0 in the One Day Series at the end of 3 matches. Tomorrow New Zealand must win the match if they are to keep their chances of a series draw alive. So far the home team’s problem has been the ruthless batting by India. India has a splendid batting line-up - even Sachin Tendulkar thinks that this is the best batting line-up he has been a part of.

Captain Vettori’s return to the team will definitely improve the Kiwi’s bowling stock as he has definitely been the pick of the home team’s bowlers. But he alone cannot suffice - he will need support from at least 2 other bowlers if New Zealand are to stop the rampaging Indians, who will be raring to win the 4th One Day so that they can complete the series win tomorrow itself and not give NewZealand a chance to sneak back in.

India completely outclassed the home team in the rain-shortened 1st One Day Iternational on the 3rd March at Napier. That the twenty20 failures were more of an abberation that anything else was amply proved in the 1st One Day where New Zealand were comprehensively beaten. Especially visible was the vast chasm between the batting talents of the two teams.  The shorter twenty20 matches didn’t allow the Indian batsmen who had just reached New Zealand any time to settle down. Here players like Dhoni had the time to play around, get settled before playing their shots. If you were watching the live streaming of the match or the live telecast of the match on TV, you would know what i mean - for a good inital part of his innings, Dhoni was just collecting singles and his strike rate was hovering around the 60 mark. However by the end of his innings, he was striking at near 100!

However, if you are ruling out New Zealand this early, it is at your own peril. Daniel Vettori is a great captain - I definitely rate him as the best captain in cricket today, yes even higher than Dhoni. He may not have a better team, but Vettori is a great tactician and he is on his home turf. A win tomorrow and New Zealand will be back in the series.
