NZ vs IND, Pitch Report:
Eden Park, Auckland Stadium, is a great venue for cricket matches. The pitch here is very well maintained. Recent pitch records suggest the toss winner should bat first. Fast bowlers perform well early in the match. Later, as the pitch slows, spinners can get more turn and bounce. This makes batting difficult and helps bowlers take wickets more easily.
