Team India captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bowl against New Zealand at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Saturday, October 24. The visiting team made two changes to their playing XI, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Prince Yadav coming into the team.
Before the Christchurch fixture, India had recorded 199 outright wins, 83 defeats, seven ties and 10 no-results in 299 T20Is. A victory against New Zealand would make India the first team to register 200 outright wins in men's T20I cricket, excluding matches decided by Super Overs.
India Make Two Changes to Playing XI Against New Zealand
India made two changes to their lineup for the second T20I. Ishan Kishan missed the match after suffering a low-grade right adductor, or groin, strain during the series opener. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi replaced him, while Prince Yadav came in for Mayank Yadav as a tactical change.
"We're going to bowl first. Yes, absolutely. That's one of the reasons (on dew being a factor). We have had a little bit of time to recover and catch up on some sleep. Everyone is in decent shape, I would say," Iyer said.
India Look to Extend Series Lead After Winning First T20I
India secured a four-wicket win in the series opener at the same venue on Thursday. New Zealand posted 225/4 after batting first, with Glenn Phillips scoring an unbeaten 82 off 40 balls and Finn Allen adding 45 off 24 deliveries.
The victory gave India an early advantage in the five-match series. The visitors now have an opportunity to extend their lead while pursuing the milestone of 200 outright T20I wins. New Zealand, meanwhile, will look to use home conditions to level the series.
