Team India (IND) is expected to bounce back significantly when they take on New Zealand (NZ) in the second T20I of the ongoing three-match series on January 29, Sunday at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Ardonamau, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The second T20I between India and New Zealand has a starting time of 07:00 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) and the toss will be held at 06:30 PM IST. New Zealand secured an early 1-0 lead in the series following a 21-run win on Friday. India vs New Zealand, 2nd T20I 2023, Lucknow Weather Report: Check Out the Rain Forecast and Pitch Report at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.

India's first T20I loss was a consequence of a couple of loose moments in the game from both bowling and batting outfits. Arshdeep Singh bowled an awful last over conceding 27 odd runs including a six of a no-ball, which allowed New Zealand to post a convincing 176-run total. It is least likely if skipper Hardik Pandya gives a concession to the left-arm pacer and picks him in the next fixture. In addition, while chasing, the hosts lost three wickets inside the powerplay, within the first 19 balls. The early dismissals were well-handed by the experienced duo of Suryakumar Yadav and skipper Hardik Pandya until their ill-timed dismissals trembled the chase once again.

Ishan Kishan has failed to deliver with batting goods of late now. Post his double century against Bangladesh, the wicket-keeper batter has been unimpressive and might fear a replacement. Washington Sundar was the only standout performer from the Indian side who scalped two early wickets and later smashed a half century too. The bowling all-rounder is steadily cementing his place in the side. Hardik Pandya and Co. have a task on their hand when they next meet New Zealand on Sunday and will look to tie the series. Meanwhile, New Zealand will hope the Wicket-keeper batter Devon Conway continues his run-making spree.
