IND VS NZ 2nd T20I, Dream11 Team Prediction for India vs New Zealand T20I Series 2026 Preview: Team India had a record-breaking start to the five-game T20I series against New Zealand. The world saw yet another batting assault by India, led by No. 1 ranked T20I batter Abhishek Sharma. Once again, he was at his explosive best and hammered all the Kiwi bowlers to all parts of the ground. He slammed the fastest T20I fifty for India against New Zealand and scored 84 off 35 balls, with 8 sixes, and won his fifth MOTM award.
Rinku Singh, who was making his T20I comeback, scored an unbeaten 44 off 20 balls and helped India post 238/7 in 20 overs, which is their highest T20I total against New Zealand. Then, with the ball, they also had a pretty decent outing. All in all, India had an almost clinical win, apart from some errors on the field. New Zealand totally looked rusty on the field and looked like a team without a plan.
That is not like them, and everyone expects them to be thoroughly professional in their strategies and decision-making. But fans expect a good return from him in the second T20I. These two teams will be up against each other in the second game. This contest will be played at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur, on Friday at 7 PM IST.

IND VS NZ Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
Despite winning the ODI series with their second-string team, New Zealand seem to have a little tentative in T20Is. On paper, New Zealand are a pretty good squad and can beat any side. But the team they are playing against is the best T20I team in the last two years or so now. They have the No. 1 ranked batter, bowler, and former No. 1 ranked all-rounder.
India are the no. 1 ranked team in this format, and they showed it in the first game. New Zealand will surely be under pressure because India have proved that you can be consistent with the ultra-aggressive approach. The batting depth till no. 8 gives the license to the top order, and they play accordingly. We might see some changes to the playing XI of New Zealand, but India will surely be the favorite to win the second game as well.
