In all Tests played at the venue, the average first innings score has been 286. The deck at the Hagley Oval is usually a batting-friendly one with just a hint of grass in the first two days. Since the pitch generally assists fast bowlers more than the spinners, expect Indian captain Virat Kohli to trust his pacers. One can expect the captain to bat first after winning the NZ vs IND toss in the 2nd Test.
