India Faces New Zealand in 2nd T20I at Christchurch with Sooryavanshi Likely Playing
India leads the five-match T20I series 1-0 against New Zealand after a thrilling 226-run chase in the first match at Hagley Oval, Christchurch. The second T20I on October 24 will see India without injured wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan, likely replaced by 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Both teams are expected to engage in another high-scoring contest on a batting-friendly pitch, with India aiming to extend their lead and New Zealand seeking to bounce back on home soil.
