In preparation for the T20I series, India’s Hardik Pandya and New Zealand’s Kane Williamson were spotted on a crocodile bike in Wellington’s streets on Wednesday. In a three-match T20I series, India and New Zealand will face off on Friday (November 18). Both players appeared to be enjoying their break before the important series as they try to get over their recent heartbreak in the T20 World Cup quarterfinal.

Both positive and terrible news are present. The game is on, which is good news. The bad news is that Kane Williamson chose to bowl first after winning the toss. It won’t be simple for India to bat because the moisture will favour seamers. The good news is that DD Sports will now also be LIVE-BROADCASTING the MATCH.

IND vs NZ LIVE

Both teams will be motivated to take the lead in the series, which is now officially down to two games after the game at Wellington’s Sky Stadium was postponed. The team that wins in Mount Maunganui will have a chance to win the series at the third Twenty20 game in Napier, but the team that loses on Sunday will only be playing to tie the series — there will be no chance for them to win — and will only have a chance to tie.

The announcement that fans would be able to watch the entire series on their televisions was made on Wednesday evening in India. The Indian team, which is currently in New Zealand after losing in the T20 World Cup semifinals, will try to make amends and get back on track.
