India bowling

On the other hand, as far as the bowling is concerned, once again the experience of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ravichandran Ashwin will be the main focus. Both bowled well in the first match, but the expensive bowling of Deepak Chahar and Mohammad Siraj added to the trouble. Nevertheless, both the bowlers will get a chance to prove themselves once again. The most important issue in bowling is the sixth bowler, which Rohit Sharma did not use in the first T20.

Venkatesh Iyer, who was brought in to replace Hardik Pandya as the all-rounder, made his debut, but his medium pace was not used even once, while Chahar and Siraj were hit hard. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma would definitely like to bowl this time to prepare Iyer in the role of the sixth bowler.

Ish Sodhi will return?

On the other hand, New Zealands team wants to get back on the winning track and for this they can get Ish Sodhi back in their playing 11. Sodhi had a strong performance in the T20 World Cup 2021 and he may get a chance in place of Todd Astle.

If dew can play an important role, then teams will stick to the formula of fielding first after winning the toss. A score of 160 or more can prove to be match-winning in Ranchi on Friday. The spinners will get some assistance in the middle overs while the fast bowlers will have to take special care of their line and length on this wicket.
