01 November, 2017. 7:00 PM
Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi
Average 1st Innings Scores : 146 Runs
Average 2nd Innings Scores : 142 Runs
The pitch is generally known to help slow bowlers, and the scores are expected to be over 140+. There is no forecast of rain, and the pitch will stay same throughout the game.
Player to Watch:
S Dhawan: Shikhar Dhawan is looking in the good form, and middling the ball really well. Apart from some loose shots, he’s accelerating the Innings well.
M Santner: Santner has been by far the best bowler for the visitors this tournament. He bats well down the order too. He’s a handy asset to have in your team.
India:
The biggest names India included in their T20 squad are Ashish Nehra, and KL Rahul. Nehra is only in the squad for 1st T20, and a stand is reserved for his family at the ground, so he might play his farewell game.
But KL Rahul, with his T20 record may get a chance in place of Manish Pandey. Other players like Shreyas Iyyer and Mohammed Siraj might get chance later in the series.
New Zealand:
New Zealand have included Ross Taylor in their T20 squad after a long time in place of Todd Astle. Additionally, they are most likely to play Ish Sodhi in playing XI for the 1st T20.
De Grandhomme was not well during the practice session, he may make way for the Glenn Phillips if not fit to play.
India: Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli(c), Dinesh Karthik, KL Rahul/Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, MS Dhoni(w), Axar Patel/Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah/Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashish Nehra, Yuzvendra Chahal
New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson (c), Colin Munro, Ross Taylor, Henry Nichollas/Tom Bruse, Tom Latham, Colin de Grandhomme/Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Ish Sodhi.
