India vs New Zealand 3rd Test Match: The third and final match of the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand is to be played today, i.e., Friday, 1 November, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Team India will play to save its honour in this match. India has already lost the series by losing the first two matches, so Rohit Sharma and the brigade will be looking to avoid being whitewashed by winning the last match. Along with this, Team India's number-1 position in the WTC will also be at stake. If India loses the last Test against New Zealand, it will lose the first position in the WTC points table.

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir’s words echo the urgency in the dressing room: “I'm not going to sugarcoat it; it is hurting. That hurt should make us better. This position isn’t a setback but a stepping stone,” he asserted. “If we have results like Kanpur, we might as well take these losses in stride and push forward.”

Mumbai Pitch Report
After the embarrassing defeat in Pune, it is expected that India will opt for another turning pitch in Mumbai. The Mumbai pitch is generally known for its bounce. Where fast bowlers get help. However, according to some media reports, it has been learned that a "sporting track" will be prepared for the last Test of the series. In such a situation, if a sporting track is prepared, then the batsmen may get help in the beginning. As the match progresses, spinners can be seen dominating. In such a situation, the team winning the toss will prefer to bat first.
