The three-game T20 series between India and New Zealand will be played from November 17. The first match of the series will be held tomorrow in Jaipur. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson will not play in this series. He has decided to withdraw from the T20 series to focus on the Test series against India. Instead, fast pitcher Tim Southee will captain the New Zealand team.
Williamson arrived in Jaipur with the New Zealand team on Monday night. The Kiwi team has been runner-up in the T20 World Cup held in the United Arab Emirates and Oman. They had to face an 8-wicket defeat at the hands of Australia in the final match played on November 14.
Three matches of the T20 series between India and New Zealand will be played in Jaipur, Ranchi and Kolkata. Speaking of Williamson, he did well in the T20 World Cup. He scored 216 runs in seven games. His score of 85 races in the final was the best.
In early 2020, the T20 series took place between India and New Zealand. The Indian team had won that series 5-0. However, at the T20 World Cup, the New Zealand team was heavy on India. After the three-match T20 series, there will be two test matches between the two teams. The first test will be played in Kanpur from November 25 to 29 and the second match will be played in Mumbai from December 3 to 7.
