India vs New Zealand 2016: 5 reasons why the Kiwis can win their first series in India

#1 Spin threat

Spin twins for New Zealand

The pitches for this series are expected to be tilted heavily in favour of the spinners. In such a scenario the spin contingent of New Zealand will also fancy their chances of bowling their team to a win.

The visitors have variety in their ranks, in Mark Craig, they have a genuine off-spinner, Mitchell Santner is the left-arm orthodox option and Ish Sodhi is the leg-spinner which makes him an attacking option.

And they did display their worth during the World T20 match against India on a raging turner in Nagpur when they sliced through the much fancied Indian batting line-up. While the sample size might be not so big, it certainly gave India enough reasons not to take them lightly come the Test matches.
