India is set to take on New Zealand in a five-match T20 International series starting Friday. Skipper Virat Kohli and his team recently defeated Australia 2-1 in an ODI series at home. The Indian cricket team will be hoping to continue its winning streak in New Zealand, starting with today's Twenty20 International match at Eden Park, Auckland. While New Zealand's team is struck with a number of injured players, India's Shikhar Dhawan will also be missing today's first T20I match against New Zealand. Read on for details on how to watch the match online and other details.
Meanwhile, New Zealand was earlier defeated 3-0 by Australia in a Test series. The Kiwis would be facing a strong Indian team before they head to Australia for a three-match ODI series. Last year, New Zealand had beaten India 2-1 in a T20 International series. That might offer some confidence to the New Zealand team as they take on India in Friday's match.
India Playing XI (probable): Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Virat Kohli (captain), Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami, Navdeep Saini, and Jasprit Bumrah
New Zealand Playing XI (probable): Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Tim Seifert (wicketkeeper), Kane Williamson (captain), Ross Taylor, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Scott Kuggeleijn, and Hamish Bennett
