Summary

India continues its T20 World Cup preparations with the second T20I against New Zealand, scheduled for January 23, 2026, in Raipur. The Indian team, bolstered by strong batting performances, is focused on perfecting its strategies for the upcoming global tournament.
New Zealand, captained by Mitchell Santner, acknowledges India's formidable batting lineup. Despite a significant loss in the previous match, Santner encourages his team to focus on small improvements and tighter execution to challenge India's consistent dominance in the T20 format.
The Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur will host the match, expected to draw a large, partisan crowd. This venue has limited T20I experience, having hosted only one previous match in 2023, adding an element of unknown conditions.
