India set to register first win against Kiwis in T-20I's

India has won the ODI series against Kiwis 2-1 but one thing which men in blue haven’t done yet beats the visitor in the shortest format of the game. The Host has so far lost all their matches against New Zealand, the fifth and last one coming in the opening match of ICC World T20 in 2016. For a team that has stormed its way to the top of world cricket with wins over Australia, England, and Sri Lanka, among others, this piece of statistic certainly sticks out like a sore thumb. That aside, India has been on a roll. With series wins over big teams like Australia, India have firmly stamped their domination in the limited-overs format. Having emerged a 2-1 winner in a keenly-contested preceding One-day International series against the same opponents, India's confidence is high and they would look to continue the good work in this slam-bang format.

The team India might have a great chance of winning against Black-caps. They have a great chance Besides the vice-captain and the captain, Shikhar Dhawan, and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has a better record against the Kiwis among Indian players, will look to shoulder the batting responsibility.

All-rounder Hardik Pandya adds to the team's strength and the New Zealanders would be wary of him.

Teams (from):

India: Virat Kohli (capt), Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shikhar Dhawan, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Shreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Siraj, Ashish Nehra (only for first game), Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, KL Rahul

New Zealand: Kane Williamson(capt), Todd Astle, Trent Boult, Tom Bruce, Colin de Grandhomme, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls, Adam Milne, Colin Munro, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee.
