NZ vs IND: After completely washing out the 1st T20I, the rain yet again is playing a spoilsport as rain has halted play in the 2nd T20I. At the forced break, India are at 50/1 in 6.4 overs.
For India, after a long time, two left-handers came out to open the innings for team India – Ishan Kishan & Rishabh Pant. While Rishabh Pant started his innings with a boundary on the 2nd ball he faced, the batter was dismissed after scoring just 6 runs in 13 balls.
