India and New Zealand will open their five-match T20I series on January 21 at Nagpur's Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium. The pitch is known for assisting spinners as the game progresses, with decent early bounce and large boundaries challenging batsmen. The toss-winning captain is likely to bat first due to the pitch's slow nature. Weather forecasts predict clear skies and no rain interruptions, with temperatures around 18-29°C. India will feature changes including Ishan Kishan at No. 3, while New Zealand aims to build on their recent ODI series win.
