India start as the favourite in the 2nd Test at Hagley Oval, but 21% of our model's weight sits on a draw, so the first two sessions matter most.

Lean: IndiaSurface: Green / seamToss: bowl firstHome side: New Zealand

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.

Win probability

Who will win today's match?

New Zealand 31%, draw 21%, India 48%. A draw carries real weight in a Test, so read the split as three outcomes rather than two.

Model lean

India

48% to win · 17-point gap

NZ 31%Draw 21%48% IND

The split comes from batting, pace and spin ratings for both teams, adjusted for Hagley Oval and New Zealand's home conditions. It is an indicative model, not a live market price and not betting advice.

On a green / seam surface, India's pace group gets the extra weight in the model.

Rain and bad light matter more in a longer match, so the draw figure moves first when the forecast changes.
