Ranchi, Nov 19: The second T20 match between Team India and New Zealand will be played today at JSCA International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi. The Indian team will take the field with the intention of winning the three-match series with a win in the second T20 match. At the same time, today’s match for New Zealand will not be less than do or die at all.
Notably, India won the first T20 match played in Jaipur in the last over by winning the game by 5 wickets.
Performance of Indian bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ravichandran Ashwin is a positive for team India. Both the players took 2-2 wickets in their bag. Ashwin’s performance has been very strong. In the last four T20 matches, he has taken 8 wickets while maintaining his excellent momentum.
Along with this, Bhuvi also showed why he is called the Sultan of swing. Scoring runs against him on Indian soil is not an easy task for the batsman.
Although team India had won the first match, the middle order of the team was not seen in good form. Rishabh Pant may have got victory for the team by hitting a four, but while batting at number-4, his bat could only see 17 runs in 17 balls. Shreyas Iyer, who returned to the team after a long time, could only manage 5 runs in eight balls. So in this match, the eyes of the team management will be on the middle order.
On the other hand, T20 World Cup runner-up New Zealand had a good fight in the last match. The bowlers of the Kiwi team not only took the losing match to the last over but also created pressure in Team India’s camp for a moment. In today’s match, the team will go on the field to register victory in any case. In the absence of Kane Williamson, Martin Guptill, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders.
