IND vs NZ 2022: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui pitch history and T20I records

After a washout at the Sky Stadium in Wellington, the India vs New Zealand series will head to Bay Oval. Mount Maunganui will play host to the second T20I of this three-match T20I series on Sunday.

Both teams would be disappointed with how rain did not allow any action in Wellington. They will hope that the rain stays away from Mount Maunganui tomorrow, and that fans get to witness a full 20-over contest.

Ahead of the second T20I match between India and New Zealand, here are some important stats you need to know from previous games hosted by this venue.
