What happened in the first T20I

India set the tone early in the series with a thumping 48-run win in Vidarbha. A powerful batting display, led by Abhishek Sharma, powered India to a massive 238/7. New Zealand struggled to keep up with the asking rate and eventually fell well short of the target.

The result gave India early momentum and exposed areas New Zealand will be keen to fix quickly.

What to expect in the India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I

The Indian team management will hope captain Suryakumar Yadav finds his scoring touch, while Jasprit Bumrah looks to regain rhythm with the ball. With conditions expected to suit batters again, India may stick with the same playing XI.

New Zealand, on the other hand, will be desperate for a stronger start on what is expected to be a good batting surface. Changes in their playing combination are likely as they look to level the series.

With India already ahead, the Raipur clash could prove crucial in shaping the rest of the series. A win for the hosts would put New Zealand under serious pressure, while a comeback victory for the BlackCaps would keep the contest wide open and lively.
