At Mount Maunganui, New Zealand and India will square off in the 2nd Twenty20 International on November 20, Sunday. After suffering a humiliating loss to England in the T20 World Cup semifinals, Team India enters this match on a bad note. The management of the Indian squad is preparing for the forthcoming world cup, and the absence of several seniors provides them with the ideal opportunity to test out the young and rising stars of Indian cricket. In this team, which will play the T20I series against New Zealand, India has a decent balance of young and veteran players. Rishabh Pant will serve as Hardik Pandya’s assistant in the series. The teams will be looking to hit the ground running after the first game was abandoned due to rain.
While New Zealand lost to Pakistan in the T20 World Cup semifinals, they are also entering this match with that loss. The majority of the World Cup team members have kept their positions. Trent Boult and Martin Guptill will not appear in this series. In place of Boult, the management has inserted pacemaker Blair Tickner. Since they are playing at home and are familiar with the conditions, the Kiwis will feel confident about their chances in this series. If tomorrow’s rain does not interfere, this encounter should be exciting.
