NZ vs IND: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?
Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the second game, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is likely to replace him in the playing XI. It might not impact much; Sooryavanshi is also quite good. But the toss will be crucial.
If the wicket behaves as it did in the first game, chasing will be an advantage. We will back India because of their current form, and they have been playing T20Is consistently for the last few weeks.
