Pitch Report

Jaipur is yet to entertain a T20I, albeit the venue has hosted lots of the events in the IPL. The numbers stay on the higher side at the venue and a reasonably high-scoring game appears to be in store. Batting second should be the favored option. Batters will starve to pile up most runs.

Weather Report

The Weather in Jaipur is quite good. The Pink city will be shinning on a bright day. Although there is no prediction for clouds on cards for tomorrow’s match. But the pollution may become a problem while hosting the match.

Key Player

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has seemed in rather a decent impact with the bat in the hand of fresh. Although he had disappointed in the first two games in the World Cup, he attained his mojo following in India’s last 3 Super 12 matches. The expert obtained 174 runs from five matches at an average of 34.80. If the Indian skipper gets moving, the Black Caps would be in for a lot of pain.

Trent Boult

Trent Boult was arguably the star bowler for New Zealand in the complete T20 World Cup. The speeder was on his record throughout the competition as he pulled up 13 wickets from 7 matches. In the game next to India, he pulled up 3 wickets for just 20 runs. Boult will now be seeming to make unexpected incursions into the Indian batting in the T20I series.

Team News

• This is the beginning of a new era in white-ball cricket for India under the direction of Rohit Sharma. They will avoid the similarities of Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah who have both been stopped but may properly use this as an excuse to give introductions to Harshal Patel and Avash Khan during the order.
• Trent Boult’s vacancy gives a gaping void in the New Zealand bowling strike. The left-arm quick recorded figures of 2-18 in Sunday are final. Kane Williamson will also be very hard to replace in the middle order. We anticipate seeing Kyle Jamieson get the nod to replace Boult with his batting firepower and continued bonus.

India vs New Zealand Match Tips

New Zealand just missed the last step to conquer the Worl Cup 2021 from Australia, in the finals, after defeating all strong foes like India and England, and others. But loosened at the end, which may result in low confidence. Men in Blue, Indian Team won consecutive 3 games in T20 WC but could not proceed in Semi-Finals, thus we predict win for Indian Team.

Today’s match prediction: New Zealand to win the match.
