NZ vs IND 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The second IT20 between New Zealand and India gets underway at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui on Sunday evening. Not one ball was bowled and there was not even a toss ahead of the first game of the series with constant rain in Wellington preventing any play. Read on as we preview this fixture. The day-night match gets underway at 19:30 local time.
New Zealand have lost only two IT20s at this venue with the last defeat coming against India in February 2020. They have a strong record at the Bay Oval and will be confident of beating this India side in this match.
India’s squad is younger than New Zealand’s but their players have plenty of experience from both international and IPL games. We predict that New Zealand will struggle to dominate India with both bat and ball.

There is pace in this wicket and some short boundaries for batters to take advantage of. A par score will be between 210 - 225 and we expect to see a high number of sixes.

NZ Team News
When speaking to the broadcasters after the game was finally abandoned in Wellington, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson talked about this series being an opportunity for pace bowlers to show what they can do with Trent Boult out of the squad. There are no injuries in the squad at present.
NZ Key Players
- Devon Conway- the left-handed opener has played only one IT20 at Mount Maunganui before and hit 65 not out from 37 balls against West Indies in that innings.
- Glenn Phillips- the powerful middle-order batter has the highest IT20 score, 108, at this venue. He also hit a century during the T20 World Cup and is a fine athletic fielder.
- Lockie Ferguson- the quick bowler is often not risked and does not play back to back games if he has a slight injury. However, after the washout on Friday, he will be 100% fit and ready for this game.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand have won two, lost two and had one abandonment over their last five IT20s.

IND Team News
Hardik Pandya is leading a comparatively inexperienced team in this series compared to the India side we saw during the 2022 T20 World Cup. We expect to see Arshdeep Singh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar keeping their places in the team and to be joined by Harshal Patel in the pace bowling attack.
IND Key Players
- Suryakumar Yadav- the 32 year old batter is a relatively late-comer to international cricket after making his debut last year. He hit 239 runs at an average of 59.75 in the 2022 T20 World Cup.
- Hardik Pandya- the captain is a genuine all-rounder in the team. He top scored for India with 63 runs from 33 balls in their semi-final defeat to England earlier in the month.
- Arshdeep Singh- the opening bowler was one of the new young stars to emerge from the T20 World Cup in Australia. He regularly took wickets at the start of innings and skillfully bowled the death overs as well.
IND Team Form
After the washout in Wellington, India have now won only two of their last four games in this format.
India Predicted Playing 11
Rishabh Pant (wk), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya (c), Sanju Samson, Deepak Hooda, Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Who will win New Zealand vs India 2nd T20 Match?
Interviews with both captains showed that New Zealand and India are keen to move on from their semi-final defeats in the 2022 T20 World Cup. This game could well be won by whichever of the new players performs the best.
🏆 New Zealand vs India Prediction
After the players were not even able to warm-up, due to the wet weather in Wellington, both teams will be desperate to get on the field and put on a good show in this match. New Zealand and India have strong pace bowling attacks but it is the home team who have the more experience at this venue and who will be best placed to take advantage of the conditions. As a result, we are backing New Zealand to get the win.
