If they aim for 300 they might get to 225-250 which w’d probably be enough considering they already have a lead of 165 on first innings

If the batters get too complacent thinking 200 will be enough they might get bowled out for 150 +/- which would all but nullify the advantage

Remember there is still plenty of time left in this test and NZ will believe that they can chase down anything less than 350

It is important that our batters do not lose their focus at this stage esp. given our recent history in Sri Lanka. And if they can reach 264 from a precarious 161/6 then why not 250 (atleast) from 64/2?

I know…abhi ishq k imtehan aur bhi hain

NZ can believe whatever they want and time can remain as much as possible, the decisve factor is the pitch and I dont think NZ has the batsmen capable of making anything more than 250 on this pitch. A lead of 250 on this pitch is a winning total.
