Preview

New Zealand will face India in the second T20I of the five-match series during India's tour of New Zealand 2026 on October 24, 2026, at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.

New Zealand's batters performed well in the opening match, with Glenn Phillips scoring a brilliant half-century and the other batters providing valuable support. However, their pace attack struggled to make an impact and will need to improve its performance in the upcoming game.

Meanwhile, India secured a convincing victory with an impressive batting display. Sanju Samson scored a brilliant half-century, while Naman Dhir and Shreyas Iyer contributed with quick-fire innings to help India seal the win.
