NZ vs IND Dream11 Match Prediction: It’s now or never for the hosts New Zealand to bounce back with a win as the Men in Blue lead the five-match T20I series by 2-0. The second game exhibited a disappointing display from the Kiwis as they were restricted to 132/5 in 20 overs. Team India chased down the total with seven wickets to spare and 15 balls in hand, courtesy yet another fifty by KL Rahul and a handy knock of 44 by Shreyas Iyer. Having said that, Kane Williamson and will be keen on showing more character at Seddon Park.
Match Details
Date- Wednesday, January 29
Kick-Off- 12:30 PM (IST)
Venue- Seddon Park
New Zealand
The Kiwis might be looking to make a few changes, particularly in the batting department. There is a possibility of Daryl Mitchell coming into the New Zealand side. With Col de Grandhomme getting out on 0 and 3, the allrounder might be given a break. Tim Seifert impresses in the last game with a 26 ball 33. While Colin Munro and Martin Guptill are too lethal to be put on the bench. Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner should continue as the frontline spin options, with Tim Southee leading the pace attack.
India
Virat Kohli will not look to make any changes with the winning formula. Though Shardul Thakur has been a tad bit expensive with the ball, there is a possibility of the team sticking with him, also because of his ability to hit some big shots towards the end. KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are expected to be the top three, with Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Manish Pandey and Ravindra Jadeja in charge of the middle order. Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah will be leading the pace attack.
