Virat Kohli’s army in blue marches on and, with four T20 cricket wins already secured over New Zealand in the last week, it will now be seeking the full whitewash of the Black Caps. To make sure you don’t miss a single six or wicket, we’ve put together this guide to getting a New Zealand vs India live stream from pretty much anywhere in the world.
New Zealand vs India T20 series – where and when
The dates, times and venues for the five-match, day/night T20 series are as follows:
1st ODI India won by 6 wickets
2nd ODI India won by 7 wickets
3rd ODI India won on Super Over
4th ODI India won on Super Over
5th ODI Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, February 2
The remaining match starts at 8pm NZDT. So that’s around 12.30pm in the afternoon in India’s IST time zone (or 7am GMT, if you’re somewhere else and trying to work out the start time).
New Zealand came into this five-match series looking to bounce back after a 3-0 test thrashing to great rivals Australia and a Super Over loss to England in their last T20I. But visitors India chased down pretty gettable targets twice in succession, before sealing the series with not one but two ridiculously exciting Super Overs.
Despite having to contend with a lengthy injury list, the Black Caps still boast a strong squad, but will their second string be enough to knock a rampart India off their stride? Key players Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson, along with Tom Latham and Matt Henry are all missing for the hosts, but there’s a recall for paceman Hamish Bennett. Another plus for the Black Caps will be the return of Kane Williamson who will lead the side after missing out on the series against England.
While not as severe as their opponents, India have their own injury problems, with Ishant Sharma set to miss the series after turning his ankle. Mohammed Shami comes into the bolster the bowling attack, but otherwise its a largely unchanged Indian side from the one that saw them ease past Sri Lanka in their last T20 outing at the start of the year.
Follow the instructions below to find out how to grab a New Zealand vs India live stream from pretty much anywhere on Earth and see which side can gather momentum ahead of the World Cup later in the year.
