IND vs NZ T20 2026 Live Streaming

All five India vs New Zealand T20I matches will be available for fans in India through live streaming and television broadcast, ensuring comprehensive coverage of what promises to be an exciting bilateral series.

Venues and Schedule Overview

The series will be played across five different venues, offering varied pitch conditions and atmospheres. The opening T20I will be hosted in Vidarbha, followed by the second match in New Raipur. The third and fourth encounters are scheduled in Barsapara and Visakhapatnam, respectively, before the series finale takes place in Thiruvananthapuram. This spread of venues allows both teams to adapt to diverse playing conditions, closely simulating the challenges of a major international tournament.

India’s Squad and Key Talking Points

India enter the T20I series after suffering a 2-1 defeat in the ODI series against New Zealand, making the upcoming matches even more significant from a confidence and momentum perspective. Suryakumar Yadav will continue as India’s T20 captain, while Axar Patel has been named vice-captain following the notable omission of Test and ODI skipper Shubman Gill from the T20 squad.

The return of Ishan Kishan and Rinku Singh strengthens India’s batting depth. Kishan, in particular, has earned his recall after impressive domestic performances, marking his return to international cricket after last featuring in 2023. However, India will miss Washington Sundar, who has been ruled out due to injury, with Ravi Bishnoi named as his replacement.

India’s bowling unit looks formidable, led by pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. He will be supported by the world’s No. 1 T20 bowler Varun Chakravarthy, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, India’s highest wicket-taker in T20Is, and experienced spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Young batter Tilak Varma will miss the first three matches after undergoing abdominal surgery, slightly impacting India’s middle-order options.

New Zealand’s Outlook

The New Zealand cricket team arrive in high spirits after securing their first-ever ODI series victory on Indian soil. The Black Caps will be led by Mitchell Santner, with injury concerns surrounding Michael Bracewell and Adam Milne. As a precaution, fast bowler Kristian Clarke has been retained as cover after impressing during the ODI series.

Head-to-Head Record

India and New Zealand have faced each other 25 times in T20 internationals. India hold a slight edge with 12 wins, while New Zealand have claimed victory on 10 occasions, with three matches ending in ties. The last T20I series between the two sides, played in India in 2023, was won by India 2-1.
