INDIA VS NEW ZEALAND 2023: 1st T20I | TODAY'S MATCH PREDICTION AND TOP FANTASY PICKS
India will take on New Zealand in the 1st T20I of the 3-match series at the JSCA International Cricket Stadium, Ranchi, on Friday (27 January) evening.
The Indian team is having a successful home season, beating both Sri Lanka (T20I and ODI) and New Zealand (ODI series). R. Sharma, V. Kohli, KL. Rahul and A. Patel are not part of this T20I series, with H. Pandya leading the team. New Zealand beat India by 1-0 in the three-match T20I series in November last year.
On the other hand, M. Santner is leading the T20I team, with T. Latham rested for the series. Like the ODI series, New Zealand will be without K. Williamson, T. Southee, and T. Boult for the T20Is. B. Lister will likely make his debut in this match. The Kiwis have eight wins, one loss, and one no-result in ten T20Is played under Santner.
