India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I Live Cricket Match Score Updates: New Zealand is feeling the heat after their collapse in the first T20I. Now, as the action shifts to Raipur, they’re desperate to put the brakes on India’s T20 steamroller. India looked sharp in that opening game—fans had nothing to worry about, even after those losses to New Zealand in the ODIs and Tests back home. This is it, the last series before the T20 World Cup, and India wants to use these matches to build up some serious momentum. Right now, the hosts are on a roll. Ten T20I series or tournaments in a row, including wins at the T20 World Cup and the Asia Cup—yeah, they’ve been unstoppable.
Still, New Zealand has reasons to believe. They just beat India in both the Test and ODI series. That Test series loss? India hadn’t lost at home in 12 years. New Zealand’s first ODI series win on Indian soil? That stings, too. With five matches in this series, a win here gives the Kiwis some breathing room. If they lose again, though, the pressure’s only going to get worse.
Looking back at the first T20I, Abhishek stole the show. He reminded everyone why he’s the top-ranked T20I batter in the world, smashing 84 off just 35 balls—five fours, eight sixes, and a strike rate through the roof. Rinku Singh finished things off in style, staying unbeaten on 44 from 20 balls. India piled up 238 for 7 in their 20 overs. Chasing 239, New Zealand just couldn’t keep up. They finished on 190 for 7, with Shivam Dube and Varun Chakaravarthy picking up two wickets each.
Mitchell to Shivam Dube, 1 run, India triumphs by 7 wickets! A short delivery from Mitchell, and Shivam Dube has expertly pulled it through mid-wicket for a single, bringing the game to a close.
NZ 208/6(20)
IND 209/3(15.2)
Foulkes to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, adding insult to injury! A length ball around off, Suryakumar Yadav remains steady and sends it soaring over long-off for another six. He has reached 70*. FOUR, slightly short outside off, Suryakumar Yadav cuts away from his body and the outside edge sails past the keeper, racing to the boundary.
Matt Henry to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, that's another score! Matt Henry delivers a length ball, and Suryakumar Yadav moves across the crease to expertly flick it over fine leg for a beautifully struck six. Abhishek Sharma in the dugout rises to his feet, applauding SKY with a standing ovation.
Ish Sodhi to Shivam Dube, SIX, Shivam Dube is now part of the action! A tossed-up delivery outside off, perfectly placed in the slot, and Shivam Dube kneels down to launch it over long-on for a colossal 100m maximum. SIX, and now they need less than a run-a-ball. Ish Sodhi delivers a length ball, and Shivam Dube smashes it over deep mid-wicket for yet another huge six.
Jacob Duffy to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, Suryakumar Yadav reaches a T20I fifty for the first time in over a year! With some width available, Suryakumar Yadav slices it through the off-side to achieve this milestone. He has also notched up four centuries in T20Is.
Ish Sodhi to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Matt Henry!! This marks the conclusion of a remarkable innings by Ishan Kishan. A googly pitched around off stump, Ishan Kishan moves across the crease and attempts to slog it away. A thick top edge is created, and Matt Henry, positioned at short fine leg, positions himself under the high ball. He takes a secure catch.
Foulkes to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, the partnership reaches 100 runs! Out of that total, SKY has contributed just 19. A length ball outside off, Suryakumar Yadav waits and deftly steers it past the short third man fielder. FOUR, Suryakumar Yadav is regaining his form just in time. The World Cup is approaching fast. FOUR, to third man
Santner to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, he kneels to execute the sweep shot, managing a top edge that sails over the fielder. Sodhi sprints to the boundary to intercept it, but he makes contact with both the ball and the cushions simultaneously.
Ish Sodhi to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, the leg-spinner isn't safe from him either. He anticipates and reverse sweeps this one over short third man. He easily clears the fielder within the circle and reaches the boundary. SIX, that's a flat six! Ishan Kishan gets into the groove and smashes it over deep mid-wicket for a flat six. Surya acknowledges it from the other end.
Matt Henry to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, Suryakumar Yadav is in on the action! Matt Henry overpitched this delivery, and Suryakumar Yadav smashed it directly to the long-on boundary. SIX, to backward square leg. FOUR! Ishan Kishan reaches his fifty during the powerplay - he achieves this milestone in just 21 balls!
Jacob Duffy to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, Ishan Kishan is on a boundary spree! A short and wide delivery outside off, Ishan Kishan cuts it over backward point, evading Phillips who was diving to his left. It would have been an incredible catch if Phillips had held onto it.
Foulkes to Ishan Kishan, no ball, FOUR, not the best beginning for Foulkes. He opens with a short and wide delivery outside off, and it's a no ball as well. Ishan Kishan unleashes his arms and sends it soaring over covers for a boundary. A free-hit is on the way! FOUR, hammered to long-off! Foulkes overextends, and Ishan Kishan has smashed it past the long-off boundary. Foulkes is turning out to be costly in his opening over.
Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, caught by Conway!! Abhishek Sharma departs for a golden duck! What a brilliant beginning for New Zealand. Both openers have been dismissed within the first 2 overs.
Matt Henry to Samson, SIX, it's a drop! He flicks it directly to Conway at deep square leg, but instead of catching it, Conway has sent it soaring over the boundary. That was a catch that should have been made.
WICKET! Matt Henry to Samson, out Caught by Ravindra!! That missed catch hasn't had much impact. It was a length delivery from Matt Henry, and Samson attempts the aerial shot once more.
Arshdeep Singh to Foulkes, SIX, a bad delivery, a poor shot, and the effort near the boundary is lacking. A nice, inviting full toss allows Foulkes to shuffle across, attempting to flick it to the leg side, but the leading edge soars to fine leg. FOUR, well executed! Arshdeep fails to deliver the yorker correctly, serving a low full toss around off. Foulkes shuffles across, capitalizing on the square leg being inside the ring, clips it over, and concludes the innings with a boundary.
Hardik Pandya to Foulkes, FOUR, this partnership is proving to be quite valuable. A fuller delivery around off, Foulkes lifts it down the ground, timing it perfectly to evade Ishan's frantic dive near the boundary. FOUR, smashed!
Harshit Rana to Santner, SIX, Santner must be the one to lead New Zealand beyond 200. Mid-on was within the circle, yet it remains an outstanding shot. Harshit fails to deliver the yorker on leg-stump, and Santner lifts it with a slight follow-through of the bat, sending the ball soaring over long-on. FOUR, just clearing square leg. FOUR, what a hit! It was short of length and angled away, but Santner positioned himself on the leg side and made room effortlessly.
Hardik Pandya to Chapman, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! Chapman never seemed comfortable at the crease. However, he needed to accelerate his scoring and ultimately fell short in his attempt. A slower off-cutter was bowled, angled away from the left-handed batsman, forcing Chapman to attempt a big swing. Unfortunately, he misjudged it, sending the ball straight up in the air. Abhishek, coming in from long-on, positions himself perfectly and takes the catch with ease.
Kuldeep Yadav to Santner, FOUR, what a shot! Kuldeep has overdone the flighted delivery, serving a full toss, and Santner wisely avoids overhitting the drive. He perfectly times it down the ground, easily surpassing the long-on fielder.
Kuldeep Yadav to Ravindra, out Caught by Arshdeep Singh!! Kuldeep claims his second wicket. The established batter has been dismissed. India is taking wickets in back-to-back overs and gradually seizing control.
Shivam Dube to Mitchell, caught by Hardik Pandya!! Dube delivers! He has become quite the golden arm in the last few matches. He has a talent for taking wickets and it only took him three balls to dismantle this partnership.
Kuldeep Yadav to Phillips, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! Wait a minute. I spoke too soon. Kuldeep gets the final laugh. Phillips was completely unaware of this. He had handled him fairly well up until this delivery, but he fails to recognize the googly. The ball is tossed up, tempting Phillips to go for a big hit. He attempts to play against the spin towards the leg-side, but ends up getting a leading edge. The ball soars towards backward point, where Hardik takes an easy catch.
Harshit Rana to Ravindra, SIX, what a shot! That should ignite his innings. It was a slower delivery, perfectly placed, and Ravindra capitalizes on it, holding back his bat swing before sending it soaring over long-on.
FOUR, beautifully struck! Ravindra is beginning to find his rhythm now. At 134.8ks, it wasn't quite full enough for a drive. SIX, he's making up for the previous over. With a 115.9ks off-pace delivery, Ravindra has taken full advantage, angled in and right in his hitting zone, he enjoys launching it to the leg-side and comfortably clears deep mid-wicket - 91 meters.
Varun Chakaravarthy to Seifert, caught by Ishan Kishan!! Varun makes his mark with just his second delivery. New Zealand's score shifts from 43/0 in 3 overs to 43/2 in 4.2 overs. Seifert attempts to tackle another wrong 'un, kneeling down to execute a slog sweep, but the googly has a tendency to bounce higher, resulting in a top-edge that goes straight up.
Harshit Rana to Conway, caught by Hardik Pandya!! Harshit makes his mark on the second ball! He had the upper hand over Conway during the ODI series and now takes just two balls to dismiss him in the T20Is. A slower delivery at 115.2 kph, and Conway failed to notice it.
Arshdeep Singh to Seifert, FOUR, what a hit! A good length ball at 135.7ks angled across, Seifert steps away from his front leg, creating space to swing his arms freely, sending the ball soaring over mid-on, easily clearing the inner ring, bouncing a couple of times before crossing the boundary. FOUR, Arshdeep is still conceding runs.. A slower ball at 118ks pitched into the wicket, Seifert goes for it and pulls it in front of square. FOUR, that's a hat-trick of fours. A full delivery at 137.5ks around leg, Seifert moves back and powers the drive through extra cover.
Hardik Pandya to Seifert, FOUR, not entirely in control but Seifert gets off the mark. He shifts inside the line and attempts to lap a back of a length delivery, managing to get an under-edge as the ball speeds away to fine leg.
Arshdeep Singh to Conway, FOUR. That’s a beauty—just what Conway needed to settle in. 135.1ks, good length, outside off. Conway waits, opens up the bat face, and threads it in front of square. Deep point’s out there, but honestly, he never had a chance.
And then again—FOUR, back-to-back boundaries. This time, fuller outside off. Conway leans into it, smooth drive through cover.
Now a SIX. Conway’s on top today, no doubt about it. Fourteen runs already. He skips down, meets a fullish one outside off, throws everything at a big drive, and carves it over deep backward point. Huge boundary, but he clears it with ease.
FOUR more. Eighteen off the first over—Conway’s flying. Sure, he looked a bit jumpy on the first ball, but after that, he’s owned the over. Arshdeep tries for another outswinger, fullish again, but Conway’s stride is strong and the drive just races past mid-off. Once it’s through the infield, forget it—nobody’s stopping that.
India (Playing XI): Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy
New Zealand (Playing XI): Devon Conway, Tim Seifert(w), Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner(c), Zakary Foulkes, Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy
Suryakumar Yadav: We are going to bowl first. There is already little bit of dew out there, we haven't chased in recent times, so we want to chase. It looks good. We play every game, we try and improve on every aspects, we will try and do same things in every department. We have two changes - Axar got hit last night, Bumrah is resting.
Mitchell Santner: We would have also bowled. Every time you play against a quality side in their conditions, you learn something. We have three changes - Seifert comes in for Robinson, Clark is out and Foulkes comes in, Matt Henry is also in.
Axar Patel exited the field during his fourth over in Nagpur due to a bleeding left index finger, injured by a shot from Daryl Mitchell. The quick turnaround leaves little room for complete recovery if the impact was significant.
If he is unavailable, India may face challenges with their combination. While replacing Axar with Kuldeep Yadav as a second spinner makes sense, it compromises the batting depth. India has a perfect like-for-like replacement in their World Cup squad with Washington Sundar, who is currently dealing with a side strain and has been ruled out of the series.
India: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav
New Zealand: Devon Conway(w), Tim Robinson, Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner(c), Kristian Clarke, Kyle Jamieson, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy, James Neesham, Matt Henry, Michael Bracewell, Zakary Foulkes, Bevon Jacobs
