New Zealand vs India, 2nd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary Series: India tour of New Zealand, 2022 Venue: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Date & Time: Nov 20, 07:30 PM LOCAL Hardik Pandya and the new-look India's fresh start was supposed to take off at Wellington but persistent rain meant that the clash of the losing semi-finalists of the T20 World Cup was reduced to a two-match series. Chances of the series being further abridged is a possibility as rain threat looms large over Mount Maunganui too. Pandya has already led the team three times, twice against Ireland and once against the West Indies, but this series was supposed to herald a new direction for India in the T20I format. A couple of matches against New Zealand would serve as a good starting point to see how the players respond under Pandya's leadership, their approach to the game, how they react to pressure, etc. But beyond all that, they will first hope that the weather stays clear. In the New Zealand camp, the focus will be on their leader Kane Williamson, who has been in the news a lot of late. There were strike rate issues that kept emerging during the multi-team event in Australia while he was also one of the big releases in the IPL just nine months after being the first player to be retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad. He will be keen to put that all behind him and focus on what's in front of him, as will the rest of the New Zealand players. When: Sunday, November 20 at 7:30 PM Local Time (12:00 PM IST) Where: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui What to expect: Thunderstorms are forecast on the match day and could lead to a curtailed game or even a complete washout. Teams batting first have won all T20Is at this venue. Team News: New Zealand: The impressive Finn Allen should get another opportunity at the top of the order with Martin Guptill being left out of the squad. Barring Trent Boult's absence, the team should resemble the setup that featured in the T20 World Cup. India: Rishabh Pant should get to play with Dinesh Karthik not picked for this series. But it remains to be seen if he bats at the top of the order. Yuzvendra Chahal, who went without a game in the T20 World Cup, should get in too in the absence of R Ashwin.
