Ind vs NZ, India vs New Zealand T20 2019 Schedule, Time Table, Fixtures, Date: India and New Zealand will shift their focus to T20Is after the five-match ODI series went in favour of the visitors. India had no trouble taking an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the ODI series but then showed glimpses of jittery batting in the fourth and fifth dead rubbers. In the fourth ODI, India were dismissed for a paltry 92 runs, to lose by eight wickets. And in the fifth ODI, India were 18/4 before Ambati Rayudu, Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya and Kedar Jadhav staged a comeback to steer the side to 252. In reply, New Zealand fell 35 runs short to lose the series 4-1.

In terms of personnel news, India have already rested Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli for the T20 series. For the hosts, Martin Guptill has been ruled out after failing to recover from a back injury. His place in the squad will be taken by all-rounder Jimmy Neesham, who also featured in the final two ODIs against India.

After comfortably getting the team job done at the end, India is now all set to face to face the Black caps in a three-match T20I series.The Men in color Blue who outplayed New Zealand in four of the five ODI matches in the series will kick off the T20I series only when they face the hosts at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Wednesday. India has had a very successful last few very months with a historic Test series win in Australia with a lead followed by back-to-back ODI series victories and would be keen to finish off the long tour on a winning note. Team India will be returning home for the first time since November and would want to end the season on a high.
