India vs New Zealand Score Updates: Rohit Sharma has opted to bowl after winning the toss© Instagram
India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I Live Cricket Updates: Martin Guptil went past Virat Kohli in the list of highest run scorers in T20Is as he took on the Indian pace duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Deepak Chahar in the powerplay. Chahar though came back to dismiss the opener for 15-ball 31. Mark Chapman and Daryl Mitchell are continuing to attack the Indian bowlers as the Kiwis look to post a huge total. Earlier, Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to field, citing the dew factor. Harshal Patel has been handed a debut at the expense of Mohammed Siraj, who picked up an injury according to the Indian captain. India will be looking to clinch the series vs New Zealand in Ranchi as they take on the 2021 T20 World Cup finalists in the second T20I match at the JSCA International Stadium Complex. Rohit Sharma started his journey as the full-time T20I captain of Team India in fine fashion with a five-wicket win in Jaipur. The new-look Indian team welcomed back the likes of Shreyas Iyer into the side, who was recovering from an injury. Venkatesh Iyer didn’t have much to show as he stayed at the crease for a brief period in the last over of the match and also wasn’t picked to bowl by Rohit. New Zealand, on the other hand, will aim to get back on the winning track and challenge the home team with a much better display.

What the Pitch holds for teams in Ranchi in 2nd T20I
Pitch Report from Ranchi:
The average score at this venue is 155, it’s a big ground with big dimensions. There’s very little grass on the wicket, it’ll be a good pitch for spinners and bowlers who can bowl cutters. The team bowling first might extract some purchase as compared to the team bowling second. Looks a tacky wicket
