The second T20I between India (IND) and New Zealand (NZ) will take place at the Bay Oval at Mount Maunganui on Sunday, November 20. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the NZ vs IND Dream11 prediction.
The series had a false start with the first game being washed out in Wellington. While rain is expected to have a say yet again, both teams will be keen to land the first blow in the series. The Kiwis have a strong roster with Finn Allen and Glenn Phillips being key with the bat. While they may start as the favorites, New Zealand will be wary of what India are capable of doing, with Suryakumar Yadav and Arshdeep Singh in their ranks. All in all, a cracking game beckons between the sides in Mount Maunganui.
