The five match T20I series between India and New Zealand is all set to commence from 24 January. The Indian team has already left for the T20I series with the first match of the series all set to be played at Auckland’s Eden Park Stadium.

The Indian team is running high on confidence after beating the Aussies 2-1 in an ODI series in home conditions. The Indian fans would obviously hope that India starts their tour on a winning note. However, it will not be that easy for the India since they do not have an impressive record in New Zealand.
