This one serves a double role of a desert after the main course that was the ODI series against New Zealand and a taster before an even bigger meal that will be the much awaited Test series against Australia. Ruturaj Gaikwad is injured and out for the series but India have not gone for a replacement. Once again, there is no Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and it is likely that these players won't be there in T20 series for the immediate future. Shaw's last international appearance for India was also his only T20I match and that came against Sri Lanka on July 25, 2021. "The ball will skid on but there could be a little bit of help with the new ball." Hardik Pandya flips the coin and wins the toss. Both Umran Malik and Lockie Ferguson regularly touch speeds of over 150kph. Putting runs on the board and then defending would be challenging. He will bowl to Finn Allen with Devon Conway at the other end. Fifth ball, similar delivery and this time it is bludgeoned to the other side past mid-on for four. Arshdeep has already bowled 2 wides before getting his second delivery right and now the third is bludgeoned along the ground past the bowler by Allen for four. -

India vs New Zealand, 1st T20I, New Zealand tour of India, 2023 (Cricbuzz)

CRR: 7.61. RR : 26.25. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Washington Sundar*, 43(22), 5, 2, 195.45. Arshdeep Singh, 0(5), 0, 0, 0. Bowling, O, M, R, W.

We knew it was spinning in the powerplay and it was nice to chip one out. I was trying to get it to skid on a little bit (Ishan Kishan's wicket) it's one of those ones, nice to pick up a wicket early in the innings and as a bowling unit, we were able to capitalize on that start. Santner ( 4-1-11-2) was the pick of the New Zealand bowlers and the skipper was well supported by his spin partners. But it was a great game and it was pretty tight at the end, we saw a lot of runs in the ODI series and it was nice to see the ball spin a bit more. It was nice to chip away some wickets in the powerplay and we had troubled doing that in the ODIs. In an era of match ups, Santner got his spot on and India were rocked early as they were 15 for 3; Bracewell accounted for the left handed Kishan, Duffy sent back Tripathi and Santner outfoxed the right handed Gill. SKY and Hardik steadied the innings and brought India back into the contest by the halfway mark, but the pair departed in successive overs and left the lower order with too much to do. There was a little bit of moisture out there towards the end, probably not as much as we were expecting. Player of the Match: It is nice to contribute to a score which helps us win a game. It is nice to take some momentum into the rest of the T20 series. It was my job to build a partnership and then take the onus on myself after Conway's departure. India would put this as one of their off days for the batters and look to come back strongly in the next game.

The New Zealand spinner and Daryl Mitchell stole the show as New Zealand won the first T20I in Ranchi by 21 runs to take a lead in the series.

But it wasn't enough as the Indian innings ended at 155 for nine in 20 overs and New Zealand took a 1-0 lead in the series.

India had won the toss and opted to field first, considering the dew factor. India's batters had no answer to the New Zealand bowling, with the spinners picking up five wickets.
