Ind vs Aus: Venue of 3rd Test shifted from Dharmshala to Indore: After the Dharamsala ground was deemed unfit for the third Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy series, the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed a different venue. On March 1, Indore will host the third test match of the four-match Test series instead since the BCCI decided that the outfield at Himachal Pradesh Stadium was subpar.



The 3rd Test of the Border-Gavaskar series has been shifted from HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala to Holkar Stadium, Indore. New drainage has just been set in place, however, the BCCI stated that because of the "severe winter conditions in the area," the "outfield lacks proper grass density and will need some time to develop fully."

BCCI released a <a href="https://www.bcci.tv/articles/2023/news/55555987/venue-for-third-test-shifted-to-indore-from-dharamsala#:~:text=The%20third%20Test%20of%20the,moved%20to%20Holkar%20Stadium%2C%20Indore." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Media Advisory</a> and stated: "The third Test of the Mastercard Australia tour of India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, originally scheduled to take?place at the HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala from 1st?to 5th?March has now been moved to Holkar Stadium, Indore."



"Owing to harsh winter conditions in the region, the outfield lacks sufficient grass density and will need some time to develop fully."



India have a strong record at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. The host team destroyed New Zealand by an inning and 130 runs in 2019 after crushing Bangladesh by 321 runs in 2016. The Australian team was eager to play at Dharamsala, which is nestled in the Himalayan mountain range's base. It is regarded as one of the most beautiful cricket fields in the entire globe.



It is common to test the pitch and outfield during a game once they have been rebuilt. The official stated that hasn't happened thus far. Himachal played all of their home games during the Ranji Trophy season at Nadaun as construction at Dharamshala is not finished yet.

According?to?Australian?media,?the?venue?was?moved?from?Dharamshala?because?the?weather?there?is?favorable?for?seam?bowlers?and?curators?won't?be?able?to?modify?the?surface?as?a?turning.?This?is?a?ridiculous?point?in?and?of?itself.



Ravichandran Ashwin, who recently led India to a decisive victory over Australia in Nagpur, will be licking his lips at the chance to compete in Indore. In his two Test matches there, the off-spinner has amassed 18 wickets including a player-of-the-match effort against the Black Caps where he grabbed 13 wickets overall.



For the remaining three Ind vs Aus Test matches, Australia anticipates similar conditions as they prepare to retaliate in Delhi for the second match starting this week.



The Australian speedster Scott Boland said, "All the wickets are going to be pretty similar, not sure they're going to give us any pace through the middle of the wicket. The same in Sri Lanka (for Australia's two-Test tour) last year, it felt like they rolled the middle of the wicket so flat, there was no pace in it for our quick bowlers."



"So I assume it's going to be pretty similar. From their point of view, their spin dominated. They played our spinners pretty well, so I reckon they're going to be looking for the same kind of wicket. As a fast bowler, you just want one out of pace, seam, or swing, and there's not really any of them," he added

Team India have taken no wrong steps in this tournament till now. A perfect teamwork that has led the Indian team to win all the four matches they have played in this tournament. Four matches, Four different players are awarded 'player of the match', and that tells the script itself. 



India First defeated Australia in their very first game of the tournament by 6 wickets and KL Rahul received the Player of the Match award for his brilliant 97*. Next India defeated Afghanistan by 8 wickets and there the skipper got the Player of the Match for his furious 131 off just 84 runs.



The most hyped match of the World Cup 2023, the India vs Pakistan, where India humiliated Pakistan with a 7-wicket difference. Jaspret Bumrah showed a top-class bowling performance of 7-1-19-2 and got the Player of the Match award.



The 4th match of team India was against Bangladesh where Virat Kohli smoked a brilliant century and led the team to victory with a SIX! Virat got Player of the Match.

Hence, this has been a dream ride for the team. The grind for this grand stage and the strategies have well paid off till now. The level of fitness and activeness on the ground have also been amazing so far.



Hardik Pandya sustained an ankle injury due to which he will not be available for the next fixture against New Zealand. Kane Williamson is also not available for the next few matches so it is almost an even condition for both the sides.

Team India Reached Dharamshala For Match Against New Zealand. Watch Them Receive Grand Welcome | IND vs NZ World Cup 2023

team-india-reached-dharamshala-for-match-against-new-zealand-watch-them-receive-grand-welcome-ind-vs-nz-world-cup-2023

IND vs NZ: The stage is all set for India to take on New Zealand in the 21st match of ICC World Cup 2023 on 22 October at the Picturesque HPCA Stadium in the lap of the Dhauladhar mountain range, Dharamshala. With slight chances of rain at Dharamshala, the Men in Blue will be keen to quench their thirst for an ICC win against the Blackcaps. In this post, we present you the IND vs NZ Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Dharamshala, and Pitch Report.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-nz-weather-forecast">IND vs NZ Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-nz-rain-prediciton">IND vs NZ Rain Prediciton</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-nz-pitch-report-of-hpca-stadium-dharamshala">IND vs NZ: Pitch Report of HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala</a></li></ul></nav></div>



India and New Zealand have been the only undefeated and undisputed teams in this World Cup to date but the dominance of one will end today. One of the teams will remain at the top with 0 losses and the other will have 1 loss in their kitty. It is the toughest contest and one of the most important contests for team India in this tournament for the position of the team as well as the morale of the individuals.



There are a few injury concerns for both teams. For India, Hardik Pandya went through an ankle injury in the last game, Ishan Kishan is unavailable, and Surya Kumar got a forearm injury. Now Rohit and Dravid have a puzzling situation where they have to fill Pandya's spot when there is no like-for-like replacement for him. There aren't much of options available for them.

Ashwin is the only choice left for the selectors as Surya and Ishan won't be able to play. Given that the New Zealand XI is predicted to have five left-handers, Rohit may have thought about using his best off-spinner in this match. But if Ashwin were to replace Thakur, India would only have a 2-3 seam-spin assault, which might not be the best choice in Dharamsala.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/ashwin.jpg" alt="IND vs NZ Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Dharamshala, and Pitch Report. Will Rain Interrupt India vs New Zealand ICC World Cup 2023?" class="wp-image-121690" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India vs New Zealand: Ashwin likely to get a slot</figcaption></figure>



Kane may not be ready for this match as well, so they are unlikely to welcome Kane Williamson back just yet. The Blackcaps' bowling lineup and batting order are both fairly consistent. Though Tim Southee is ultimately fit, will New Zealand offer him a spot? But if they do, he will bring an impressive record in one-day internationals against Rohit (dismissed 5 times) and Kohli (dismissed 6 times).



Overall, it is going to be a neck-to-neck match. New Zealand have never lost against India since 2003 in any ICC event and this time again it is the stage of the World Cup if they can do the same. Down below is the IND vs NZ Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Dharamshala, and Pitch Report.

A cool and overcast day in Dharamshala City. As winter has hit the Northern Himalayas, Dharamshala has very dynamic kind of weather in this part of the year. Today, on 22 October 2023, the temperature of Dharamshala City is expected to peak at 19?C in the afternoon and drop as low as 14?C further as the sun goes down.



Humidity is predicted to hover between 60-70% in the match hours and winds will gust towards the Northeast at a speed of ~8Kmh during the day. Tom Latham revealed that Dew had begun to form as early as 5:00 PM in the days leading up to the game, so batting second might just continue to be an advantage.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-nz-rain-prediciton">IND vs NZ Rain Prediciton</h2>



There are moderate chances of rain in Dharamshala City of Himachal Pradesh. The rain possibility is 20% during the match hours, however, there will be more than 60% of the sky covered under clouds. An overcast day for India vs New Zealand is what weather.com predicts. Though, as it is aforementioned, the weather here in Dharamshala is very dynamic. It can rain anytime when it is Dharamshala but we must hope for a full 100-over game.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-nz-pitch-report-of-hpca-stadium-dharamshala">IND vs NZ: Pitch Report of HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala</h2>



In the first three games, the HPCA Stadium's surface did its job well. Only one of the three matches has been a day/night game, with the other two all taking place during the day. In the first day-night game, the swing and aid the bowlers received in the evening were noticeably different from the daytime games.



Dharamsala has been a site where the fast bowlers have found a degree of joy, though the batch of white balls used in the World Cup hasn't swung much anywhere else. It is also anticipated today. The bowling will be pretty exciting thanks to the top swing bowlers like Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah.

IND vs BAN: India has recently made a change that seems significant for the upcoming series to be held in India. Bangladesh?s first T20I match, which was scheduled to be held in Dharamshala, is now to be held in Gwalior?s newly built <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhavrao_Scindia_Cricket_Ground">Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium</a>. Also, the BCCI has changed India?s T20I scheduled against England, as two of India?s greatest grounds, the Eden Gardens in Kolkata and the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, have swapped the venues for the first and second T20I to be played against England. The BCCI reports have suggested that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himachal_Pradesh_Cricket_Association">Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association</a> is about to make renovations in the dressing rooms of the Dharamshala cricket stadium, as a result of which they had to relocate the Opening T20I game against Bangladesh to Gwalior. The Stadium will hold its first-ever international match as international cricket returns to the city of Gwalior after a span of 14 years, for the first time since Sachin Tendulkar?s iconic double century in white-ball cricket, the first by any player in the history of the format.

 After the Bangladesh series, India will also host New Zealand for a home test series, while they will next travel to Australia for a much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which is much anticipated by several greats of the game. Following their Australia tour, the Men in Blue will be back in India as they host the English side for the last series of the limited-overs format before the Champions Trophy. The Kolkata Police requested the Cricket Association of Bengal to reschedule the T20 match, which was earlier to be held on the 25th.
