CAPTAINS' TAKE:

Rohit Sharma:

We had been having a look to bowl first anyway. I know we lost the last recreation, but chasing has been our energy. We have spoken about what we wish to do with bat and ball. Hopefully we can get a win today. We simply wish to do the appropriate issues and do them consistently. We discussed what went improper in the last recreation. Hopefully we would possibly not repeat them. We are taking part in the same staff. I know there will be numerous talk about Krunal and Kuldeep. Kuldeep has been sensible for us. It's simply that we want to see other guys as neatly, particularly in in a foreign country prerequisites. Having one dangerous recreation doesn't say anything else. We wish to give them extra games to know what they've in them.

Kane Williamson:

We are going to bat. Usually a just right batting floor right here. It's all the time a great opportunity to play in opposition to India. We are up in opposition to one the strongest teams in global cricket. Same staff for us today. It used to be probably the most the ones days where other people come and perform their role and it comes off. We realize it doesn't occur day in time out (speaking in regards to the first T20I). We had been actually just right in the last recreation. Hopefully we can stay making strides in that path.

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni(w), Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed

TOSS: New Zealand captain Kane Williamson wins toss, opts to bat in opposition to India in Auckland.


PREVIEW:

After the 80-run hammering on Wednesday, a desperate India will be eyeing a powerful comeback in opposition to New Zealand in the second one contest of the three-match Twenty20 rubber at Eden Park on Friday.


While the visitors face a must-win situation, every other victory for the Kiwis will seal a chain victory win for them.


In the primary recreation, neither the Indian batsmen nor the bowlers clicked as they succumbed prior to a medical all-round show by means of the hosts. Kiwi opener Tim Seifert (84 off 43) hammered the Indian bowlers all over the Park on Wednesday and it will be a very powerful to pack again him early today.
