IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 2nd, India vs New Zealand T20I series 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 2nd T20I of the India vs New Zealand T20I series 2026 between IND vs NZ to be played in Raipur.

Another game and another display of brute batting strength by the no. 1 ranked T20I team. Team India hammered New Zealand in the first T20I and recorded a 48-run win to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

No. 1 ranked T20I batter Abhishek Sharma was once at his brutal best and hammered 8 sixes in his knock of 35 balls for 84. Team India recorded their highest T20I total against the Black Caps and made a big statement ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.

New Zealand looked below par on the field and in their decision-making with the ball. But they are expected to bounce back for the second game. The upcoming match will be played at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur, on January 23.

IND vs NZ: Pitch Report

The wicket in Raipur is another flat deck. It is just like Nagpur and a tough venue for the bowlers. The wicket will have some help when the ball is new, but overall, it is another track where batters will thrive. It is a high-scoring venue, and we are in for another 200+ total.
