India vs New Zealand 2nd T20 Match Information
The second match of the India tour of New Zealand 2026/27 T20 series will be played at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on 24 October 2026. Play begins at 07:00 GMT, 12:30 PM IST or 8:00 PM New Zealand time.
India vs New Zealand 2nd T20 Match Preview
India take a 1–0 lead into the second T20 after chasing New Zealand’s 225/4 with two balls remaining. Sanju Samson set the pace with 67 from 33 balls, captain Shreyas Iyer added 42 and Naman Dhir finished the chase with an unbeaten 42 from 15 deliveries.
New Zealand had plenty of positives despite the defeat. Glenn Phillips made an unbeaten 82 from 40 balls, while Finn Allen and Bevon Jacobs helped the hosts post a strong total. Mitchell Santner’s side now need a more controlled bowling display to prevent India from taking a two-match lead.
India will be without Ishan Kishan, who sustained a low-grade right adductor strain in the opening match. Kumar Kushagra has been added as wicketkeeping cover, although the final playing XI will be announced at the toss. Hagley Oval again places a premium on powerplay runs, new-ball discipline and smart use of the larger boundaries.
