The contest between IND and NZ will begin at 7 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). Down below is everything you need to know about IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction.
The Men in Blue fetched big wins against New Zealand in the recently concluded three-match ODI series. Team India comprehensively routed the Kiwis and inflicted a whitewash. It was good to see Indian performing in unison, however, this goes other way around for the Kiwis, who couldn’t perform to their potential.
Michael Bracewell in Hyderabad and Devon Conway in Indore were the lone performers for them throughout the ODI series. However, New Zealand would look to turn things around in the upcoming three-match T20I series. The first game of the three-match series will be held in Ranchi on 27th January followed by Lucknow and Ahmedabad on 29th January and 1st February respectively.
Team India on the other hand would be keen to extend their winning momentum. It’s heartening to see how the players have performed throughout the series. Batting has been brilliant and the bowlers have done exemplary work in absence of Jasprit Bumrah.
