IND vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 highlights: India vs New Zealand warmup match has been called off due to persistent rain in Brisbane.
T20 World Cup 2022 IND vs NZ highlights: One last chance for Team India and New Zealand to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022 as the two teams lock horns at the Gabba in Brisbane on Wednesday. Rohit Sharma and Co narrowly edged out Australia in the previous match, and hopefully, some of the fringe players can get more playing time, including Mohammed Shami who starred in the 20th over against Aaron Finch's side.
New Zealand meanwhile were dismissed for just 98 runs against South Africa in their previous warmup match, and the Kiwis will be hoping for a better show against the Men in Blue.
Both sides will be looking to build steam before they begin their Super 12 journey, while India will cross swords with arch-rivals Pakistan in Melbourne on October 23, and New Zealand will face off against hosts Australia in the tournament opener on October 22 in Sydney.

Hardly the ideal preparation then for both India and Pakistan. Babar Azam's side did get to play their innings as the Pakistani bowlers bowled their complete quota of 20 overs, but that wasn't the case for Rohit Sharma and Co. Hoping that the rain gods be merciful when India and Pakistan face off in Melbourne on Sunday, October 23.
Thanks for joining in and we'll see you on Sunday.

The inevitable piece of news has arrived. The India vs New Zealand warm-up match has been called off due to persistent rain. Dissapointing for the fans as well, but there's more to it, India and Pakistan both played just one warmup match before their tournament opener on Sunday.

The match between Pakistan and Afghanistan at Gabba earlier in the day has been abandoned due to rain. While that contest was interrupted in the 17th over in the first innings, the covers were brought off in just 10 minutes and play resumed, however, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan could score just 19 runs and rain returned and it has continued to pour down in Brisbane ever since.

Propelled by KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav's fifties, Team India had scored 186/7, with Kane Richardson amassing four wickets. In reply, Australia could only muster up 180 runs, despite the hosts looking comfortable for much of the contest. Shami's sensational final over then grabbed all the limelight. Rohit Sharma and Co will be looking for a similar outcome today.
India and New Zealand will lock horns at the Gabba in Brisbane. Toss is scheduled to be held at 01:00 PM (Indian Standard Time). However, the rain gods could have a say as the match could be hampered due to rain.

Mohammed Shami registered four scalps in the 20th over against Australia but bowled just one over. He could play a much bigger role against New Zealand, although Suryakumar Yadav could be rested, with Rishabh Pant, or Deepak Hooda expected to take up his place.
