After clinching the first T20 international in Nagpur, the India vs New Zealand T20I series now shifts to Raipur, the venue for the second T20I. The match, scheduled for tonight (January 23), will see India continue their ultra-aggressive approach and refine their team for the T20 World Cup 2026.
India will be aiming to give as much game time as possible for all members of their squad before the marquee event. Perhaps this even explains the decision to slot Ishan Kishan at number three for the game in Nagpur. They would like Sanju Samson and Kishan to get into runs. All eyes will be on the men in Blue and their individual performances.

The surface at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur is expected to assist pacers early on in the innings by offering pace and bounce. However, it slows down later as the game progresses and favours the spinners. With that being said, the stadium has hosted just one T20I back in November 2023. However, India and South Africa played an ODI here last month, where dew cost Indian bowlers the match as they failed to defend 359.
