India's left-handed batters have shown vulnerability against off-spin, a weakness Bracewell was able to exploit in the first match. New Zealand will look to build on that success and put pressure on India's middle order. However, with India's batting depth, the hosts will need a much stronger bowling effort to level the series..India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd T20I: New Zealand also need to tighten their bowling India are not the only team looking for improvements. New Zealand's bowlers also struggled to contain the visitors in the opening match. Pacers Matt Henry and Adam Milne found swing early in their spells but could not consistently trouble Samson and Abhishek Sharma with their lengths. The Indian openers took full advantage, scoring 94 runs in the powerplay and putting New Zealand on the back foot. New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner said his team would need to find a way to slow down India's in-form top order. "So I think both teams could probably look at a few things here and there, which I think could have gone either way. The extras at the start maybe and obviously I think in the field we were pretty good," said Santner. "It's not an easy ground to catch here. A couple of more chances, closing overs at times, but, I think the powerplay is always going to be a challenge. I guess we have to find a way to slow them down (Samson and Abhishek)," he added..India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd T20I: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi likely to open The second T20I could offer fans a chance to watch 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi bat in the middle. Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the match due to injury, with Kumar Kushagra joining the squad as his replacement. Sooryavanshi is expected to open alongside Abhishek Sharma, while Sanju Samson could bat at number three. Tilak Varma is likely to return to his usual number five position after moving up the order in the first match because of Kishan's injury..India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd T20I: Shreyas Iyer wants bowlers to get their lengths right India captain Shreyas Iyer admitted that his bowlers failed to hit the right lengths in the first match. "...we bowled a little ahead compared to the hard lengths we should have been hitting," acknowledged India skipper Shreyas Iyer after the four-wicket win in which his 28-ball 42 proved vital. Axar Patel will also be keen to improve after conceding the most runs among India's bowlers in the series opener. The conditions in Christchurch are expected to favour batters again, leaving little room for mistakes..India vs New Zealand Live Score: India need better performance from bowling attack India’s fifth and sixth bowling options remain a concern, especially with all-rounders yet to make a strong impact in the absence of Hardik Pandya. In the series opener, Nitish Kumar Reddy conceded 40 runs in four overs without taking a wicket. Naman Dhir did not get an opportunity to bowl before making a match-winning contribution with the bat. India’s regular bowlers also struggled. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, playing his first match for India in nearly four years, conceded 49 runs in his four overs. He also bowled two no-balls and two wides. New Zealand openers Finn Allen and Tim Seifert attacked Bhuvneshwar and Arshdeep Singh during the powerplay, putting both bowlers under pressure..India vs New Zealand Live Score: Hello and welcome!
