The India tour of New Zealand, 2026 reaches match 12 of 12 when New Zealand face India in a Test at Hagley Oval. It is listed for Monday 30 November 2026, with the start at 19:30 IST. New Zealand have home conditions on their side, which our model counts as a small edge.
New Zealand's edge is their pace attack, while India's is their batting depth. The side whose strength suits Hagley Oval gets the first say. Hagley Oval is a ground where seam and swing are on offer and the boundaries are big, so we expect a green / seam surface with a first-day score around 284–345 for India and 255–310 for New Zealand.
Changeable weather is normal, and a cool, overcast morning suits the seamers. Because a draw is a live result here (21%), watch how much time is lost before you read anything into a single session.
