	<strong>IND vs NZ 1st T20I Update</strong><br />
	<br />
	The first match of the series between India and New Zealand at the SKY Stadium, Wellington has been abandoned due to rain without even a ball being bowled<br />
	<br />
	There were a lot of new things at stake in this first game of the series which included the search for a new template by the Indian team. This has been a search going on since time immemorial and it doesn&rsquo;t seem to stop anywhere at all. Now, with Hardik Pandya in the lead, the approach needs to be attacking from the batters at the top and the bowlers must also bowl an attacking line to start the game.&nbsp;</div>
<br />
<div>
	However, they face New Zealand at home which is always a dangerous side. The Kiwis would also be looking to put up a great fight and try and win the series to put a balm on their heartbroken fans&rsquo; sentiments after yet another semi-final exit.&nbsp;<br />

	<strong>India vs New Zealand 1st T20I Toss Timing and Details</strong></div>
<br />
<div>
	India vs New Zealand 1st T20I will begin at 12:00 pm IST. Thus the toss between India skipper Hardik Pandya and his Kiwi counterpart Kane Williamson would take place 30 minutes before the match time. Thus the toss in today&rsquo;s match could not take place at 11:30 am IST due to rain.&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	<strong>Playing 11 combinations of India</strong></div>
<br />
<div>
	India would be going in with a totally different playing 11 than the one that played in the T20 World Cup. There will be Umran Malik with his raw pace, in all probability Yuzvendra Chahal will be back in the playing 11 too and Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson can be seen in the top three. Deepak Hooda, who played only one game in the T20 World Cup can also bat at number four with Pandya coming in at five and Rishabh Pant at six.</div>

	<strong>Playing 11 combinations of New Zealand</strong></div>
<br />
<div>
	For New Zealand, Trent Boult and Martin Guptill have been rested and Adam Milne has been given an opportunity to bounce back. With his raw pace and ability to swing the new ball, he could be really handy upfront. Also, Blair Tickner, who didn&rsquo;t get a game in the World Cup, could be in with a chance as the Kiwis would most likely go in with a solitary spinner. The rest of the team could be the same that played the World Cup semifinal.</div>

	Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner</div>

	<strong>ND vs NZ 1st T20I Pitch Report</strong></div>
<br />
<div>
	The Wellington wicket or wickets in general in New Zealand support high-scoring encounters in the T20 format. The same wicket might have a lot of grass and help the red ball swing vehemently in a Test game. However, with smaller grounds and flat pitches, the T20 format naturally becomes high-scoring. Therefore, a high-scoring wicket is expected to be on offer in this game as well.</div>
