“If New Zealand plays a knockout match against India…” Sanjay Bangar on how the series defeat against India will affect NZ

"If New Zealand plays a knockout match against India...": Sanjay Bangar on how the series defeat against India will affect NZ

Former Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar has made an extraordinary revelation regarding New Zealand, who India will be facing in the 3rd ODI on Tuesday.

The match is scheduled to be a dead rubber as India is already leading the 3-match ODI series by 2-0.

Former Indian all-rounder Sanjay Bangar feels that following the series loss, it will be near to impossible for the Kiwis to upset Team India at the 2023 World Cup.

“The way all the bowlers caused problems to the New Zealand batters, if New Zealand plays a knockout match against India in a big event, these mental scars will be in the players’ minds, that beating the Indian team is close to impossible. Such wins leave a long-term effect,” said Bangar.

Sanjay Bangar also highlighted New Zealand’s area of concern.

“They will be extremely disappointed because the seamers troubled them and got them out. Whenever you talk about New Zealand cricket, you talk about seaming conditions, but to be in such a position in two consecutive matches means it is an area of concern,” Bangar added.
