Kane Williamson’s team will definitely have a slight advantage over India due to the home conditions. It is not only about the pitches and the conditions but sometimes it is also about the ground dimensions and many other things.

The grounds in New Zealand are generally small and most of the times, one side of the ground is a bit longer than the other. So it is important to know such things which the Kiwis will know well beforehand.

India might take time in adjusting to such things. Another thing to look out for in New Zealand is the direction of the wind. The wind can help the bowlers if they can bowl in the right areas and force the batsmen to hit against the wind. These things need to be looked in detail and New Zealand will have the advantage of having the knowledge of such things.
