The second match of the India-New Zealand T20 series will be played at the Bharat Ratna Atal Vihari Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow from 7 pm today. Team India is trailing 0-1 in the 3-match series. India is in danger of losing the series. The Indian team has not lost a series against New Zealand at home for the last 11 years. With a defeat in this match, India’s number-1 ranking in T20I will also be in danger. That is, India has no margin for error.
If we talk about the win-loss record between India and New Zealand, then the match between the two is equal. Both have played 23 T20 matches so far. Of these, 10 have been won by India and 10 by New Zealand, while 3 matches have been drawn. On the other hand, if we talk about Ekana Stadium, then India has played two matches here and won both. In such a situation, Pandya-led team India would like to win this match and get a one-one tie in the series.

In all the five T20 matches played so far at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, the team batting first has won. Out of these five T20 matches, West Indies have participated in four. Along with this, the Indian team has entered two matches. India’s last T20 match in Lucknow was in February 2022. New Zealand successfully defended 176 runs in the first match played in Ranchi. In this second T20 match, the team winning the toss will want to bat first.
Let us tell you that in the first T20 match, Arshdeep Singh proved to be very expensive and looted more than fifty runs in a spell of four overs. Despite this, Hardik Pandya can trust this young fast bowler in the second T20 match. Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav bowled economically in the Ranchi T20 and both took three wickets in total. Due to this, leg-spinner Yuzvender Chahal may have to be out of the playing eleven again. On the other hand, the Kiwi team will also want to win the second match and win the series on Indian soil.
Probable playing eleven
India: Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Suryakumar, Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Shivam Mavi, Kuldeep Yadav, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh.
New Zealand: Finn Allen, Dwayne Conway, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell, Jacob Duffy, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner.
