India vs New Zealand Preview

India went into the first game having never beaten the black caps in a T20 and were facing the number-one ranked side in the format. The hosts proved once again they are not to be written off and got the job done with a sublime batting performance. Of course they relied on a bit of fortune with two drops in the opening exchanges typifying an unusually ragged fielding effort from New Zealand. As we compare odds on cricket and in particular the second t20i odds, it will be interesting to see if the visitors can bounce back from a demoralizing defeat in the opening gambit.

India vs New Zealand Prediction

As we look at the second T20 Betting tips in more detail, our betting tips suggest that India will once again disprove the ICC rankings and topple the top team in world T20 cricket. New Zealand sit atop the rankings but are firm second favourites in this game. The visitors will be disappointed not to have put in a better showing in the first match as a sloppy fielding allowed the Indians to post a daunting total, which they ultimately couldn’t cope with. The hosts meanwhile, looked far better than their ranking suggested and will be confident of continuing their dominance over New Zealand in the second of three T20 internationals.

India vs New Zealand Betting Tips

After losing the first One-Day International to New Zealand, India have been utterly dominant in the ensuing matches to win the ODI series. They followed that up with a truly dominant effort in game one of the three-match T20i series. India were disappointed to be beaten by their rivals Pakistan in the final of the Champions Trophy, and have bounced back admirably to boost their form and confidence in limited overs cricket Despite only being ranked fifth coming into the game, the hosts are showing just how good they are in coloured clothing and rightly deserve their favourites tag. With that in mind, India are a brilliant price with bookmakers Unibet at 2nd T20i odds of 2/5 to win the second T20 international and in the process take an unassailable series lead.

The key to a strong batting performance, particularly in the short forms of the game, is to set a platform, ready for acceleration in the latter stages. In Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, India have two extremely accomplished batsmen that showed in the first match just how dangerous they can be. Expect more of the same from India, who although they had to rely on some fortune, put on a record breaking opening stand and ultimately batted New Zealand out of the game in the first innings. Looking at the betting, India to score over 23.5 before the loss of their first wicket is great value at 5/6 with bookmakers Betway. Expect India to start strongly but watchfully as they either chase a total or look to set a strong total.
