IND vs NZ 1st T20 Match Date, Time: Having suffered a jolt with a 2-1 defeat in the ODI series, India will hope to redeem themselves as they enter the final leg of their preparations for the T20 World Cup title defence when they take on New Zealand in a five-match series, starting Wednesday. While the teams will not be playing at any of the World Cup venues, both teams will have the best of conditions to prepare and make their final assessments of combinations, tactics and form. There will be keen on focus on India’s top-order, given their last-minute shake-up before the World Cup squad announcement last month and the absence of Tilak Varma who is out injured from the first three games after an abdominal surgery. IND vs NZ 1st ODI Predicted XIs India predicted XI: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy. New Zealand predicted XI: Finn Allen, Devon Conway (WK), Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner (C), Rachin Ravindra, James Neesham, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi. IND vs NZ: Head-to-Head record in ODIs Matches played: 25 India won: 15 New Zealand won: 10 India vs New Zealand 1st T20I livestreaming details The India vs New Zealand 1st T20I will be streamed live on the JioHotstar app and website and telecast on the Star Sports network from 7.00 PM IST on Wednesday.
