Preview
In the 1st T20 match of the New Zealand tour of India 2026, India (IND) is set to face New Zealand (NZ). India's performance has been extremely disappointing, losing by 2-1 in the ODI series, but the T20 series will see a different opportunity. This team will be led by Suryakumar Yadav as its captain. They will be looking to prove themselves ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, which is scheduled to take place next month.
On the other hand, New Zealand defeated Team India in the ODI series by giving a very strong performance. At one point, New Zealand appeared to be a weak team, but ultimately, their strong performance secured them a series win. Now they would like to continue the same kind of performance in the T20 series as well.
