The three ODIs were high-scoring affairs, and cricket fans can anticipate similar levels of excitement and enthusiasm for the upcoming T20I matches between India and New Zealand. The Kiwis will be determined to secure their first victory on the tour, but they will face a formidable challenge in trying to defeat India.
With the pitch offering favorable conditions for spin bowling, Kuldeep Yadav is the player to watch. Since his return to the Indian side, he has been in excellent form and is expected to continue his impressive streak in the upcoming match.
After sneaking in two more runs, Arshdeep hits a bouncer as Santner fails to put bat to ball. A single to finish and India will need 100 runs to win and level the series.
New Zealand- 99/8 (20)
Mitchell Santner- 20(23)
Jacob Duffy- 6(3)
Last wicket- Lockie Ferguson 0(2)
That brings us to the conclusion of our coverage of the first T20I between India and New Zealand in Ranchi, with the action now shifting west to the Uttar Pradesh capital of Lucknow. The Men in Blue will be looking to make a comeback and take the series to a thrilling finale in Ahmedabad. With the stakes high, the upcoming match promises to be an exciting affair.
That's all for today. Thank you for joining us.
Hardik Pandya: No one even thought that the wicket would play like that and both teams were surprised. But they played better cricket on this and that's why the result end up like that. Actually the new ball was turning more than the old one and the way spun, way it bounced it caught us by surprise. But somehow we pulled it back and were in the game till Surya and myself were batting.

Arshdeep's start to the final over of the New Zealand innings was forgettable, as he was hit for a hat-trick of sixes and a four, and even bowled a front-foot no-ball in the first delivery.
New Zealand 176/6 (20)
Ish Sodhi- 0(0)
Daryl Mitchell- 59(30)
Last Wicket- Mitchell Santner- 7(5)
Hardik returns to the attack. Mitchell greets him with a colossal SIX over long-on. Four singles follow. Mitchell takes advantage of the width offered and launches the ball into the sky once more, resulting in another SIX.
New Zealand 139/3 (17)
Devon Conway- 52(33)
Daryl Mitchell- 31(20)
Last Wicket- Glenn Phillips- 17(22)
Mitchell is trapped leg before wicket, but the umpire is unmoved. Hardik decides to take a gamble and opts for a review. The replay reveals that the ball has clipped the bails, and the original decision stands.
New Zealand 123/3 (16)
Devon Conway- 50(31)
Daryl Mitchell- 17(16)
Last Wicket- Glenn Phillips- 17(22)

Daryl Mitchell- 1(1)
Last Wicket- Glenn Phillips- 17(22)
Kuldeep hurls the ball towards the pads and Conway sweeps it for a FOUR through deep square leg. A great over, except for that boundary, yielding only seven runs.

New Zealand: Finn Allen, Devon Conway(w), Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner(c), Michael Bracewell, Jacob Duffy, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner
India: Ishan Kishan(w), Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya(c), Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Shivam Mavi, Kuldeep Yadav, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh
Hardik Pandya: We will have a bowl first. Looks like a good track. I can see dew right now. Just go out there and play the best cricket we know. It is a young team. We will focus on playing good cricket. Playing the ODIs before T20Is makes it easy to pass on. For a lot of them, it is an experience just being in the team. Yuzi, Mukesh, Jitesh, and Prithvi miss out.
Mitch Santner: We were challenged in the ODIs. There is no experience like playing India at home. Would be a challenge for some of the new guys. Looks pretty good. The dew is setting in. Would have been good to bowl first. Putting runs on the board and then defending would be challenging. Tom Latham and Nicholls are gone. Chapman and Sodhi are in.
Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the series due to a wrist injury, but India has not requested a replacement. Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill, who has performed admirably against Sri Lanka, are likely to remain the opening pair. Prithvi Shaw, who has earned his way back with a plethora of runs at the domestic level, is also in the squad and it will be interesting to see how India incorporates him into the team. Harshal Patel is absent this time, and Kuldeep Yadav's return could pose a challenge to Yuzvendra Chahal's spot.
India: Shubman Gill, Prithvi Shaw, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Shivam Mavi
New Zealand: Finn Allen, Daryl Mitchell, Devon Conway, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Blair Tickner, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner
