    What's the story

    After routing Bangladesh 2-0, hosts India are set to take on New Zealand in the three-match Test series.

    The iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host the series opener, starting October 15.

    Notably, India haven't lost a Test at this venue in nearly two decades.

    As per reports, rain could play spoil the first two days of the upcoming game.

    Stats

    Bengaluru has hosted 24 Tests 

    The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has hosted 24 Tests, with each involving India. As many as nine of those have resulted in a draw.

    As per Howstat, 358 is the average score batting first on this ground in Test cricket.

    India have the highest team total here (626 vs Pakistan, 2007), while Afghanistan recorded the lowest team total (103 vs India, 2018).

    Information

    Test record of India, NZ in Bengaluru

    India have won nine and lost six Tests at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium (nine draws). Their last Test defeat at this venue came in March 2005 (to Pakistan). Notably, New Zealand have lost each of their three Tests here.

    Report

    A look at pitch report

    The pitches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium usually assist the batters across formats. Shorter boundaries further make life difficult for bowlers here.

    However, pacers find success early on at this venue in Test cricket. The first hour produces enough movement and bounce for speedsters to cash in. Spin come into the play eventually.

    Expect an even track for the upcoming India-NZ encounter.

    Weather

    Weather to play spoilsport?

    The weather predictions for the 1st Test don't look ideal, as rain is likely to play a spoilsport. There is a 70-90% chance of rain on the first two days.

    Notably, both Indian and NZ were compelled to move their practice sessions indoors due to the incessant rain.

    Forecasts also suggest a 67% chance of rain on the third day.
