Match Details
Teams: India vs New Zealand
Venue:Â Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur
Date & Time: Wednesday, 17th November 2021 at 7.30 pm IST
Preview
It’s a dawn of a new era in the T20Is for India, as Virat Kohli is no longer T20 captain and Ravi Shastri is no longer the head coach. It will be Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid respectively, at the helm of affairs.
How will this fare out? We will have to wait and watch.
On the other hand, New Zealand will still be dealing with the after effects of a heartbreak in yet another limited overs final. This mini-series will be a testament of how quickly (or not) they have bounced back from their loss.

India vs New Zealand Match Prediction
India are very tough to beat at their home. New Zealand would most likely be still hungover from their loss in the final against Australia. So we expect an Indian win tonight, as Kiwis are without regular skipper Williamson and in-form batter Devon Conway.
