India tour of New Zealand: Preview for the 2nd T20I at Bay Oval at Mount Maunganmi

g

India and New Zealand’s short 3 match T20 series is now down to 2 match series after the first game was washed out by rain.  The game on Sunday will be the 10th game to be played at the Bay Oval. Both the teams have nothing to gain apart from the rankings in the T20I format with both already qualified for the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup.

Venue – Bay Oval, Mount Maunganmi

Time – 12 PM IST

Likely pitch conditions –

The small ground is known for high scores and it is a known graveyard for bowlers. The bowlers tend to travel at 9 runs per over and one can expect lots of fours and sixes during the course of the game.

Likely weather conditions –

Likely India XI –

Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Surya Kumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya , Rishabh Pant, Deepak Hooda, Harshal Patel, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal.
