New Zealand vs India 2019: 3 players to watch out for in the T20I series
With the conclusion of the five-match ODI series, India and New Zealand will be looking forward to winning the T20I series. Indian team outplayed New Zealand in the ODI series and will surely want to continue their momentum in the T20I series as well. India have rested Virat Kohli for the T20I series and hence Rohit Sharma will lead the team in the series.
On the other hand, New Zealand will surely want to do well in T20I series after a humiliating series defeat in ODIs. The three-match T20I series will be played from 6th to 10th of February. It is expected to be a competitive series as both the teams are looking good on paper.
Here, we will take a look at three players to watch out for in the T20I series between New Zealand and India.
#3 Colin Munro
The destructive left-hand batsman, Colin Munro is currently one of the best batsmen in the shortest format of the game. Munro failed badly in the ODI series but will surely want to get back in form in his favourite format.
So far, the 31-year-old has played a total of 49 T20 internationals and has scored 1293 runs at an average of 33.15 and an excellent strike rate of 161.82 with the help of eight fifties and three hundreds. In fact, he was the first batsman to hit three centuries in T20Is. Colin Munro has played four T20Is against India and has scored 130 runs at an average of 43.33 and strike rate of 166.67. One of his three centuries has come against India.
Colin Munro could be dangerous for the Indian team as he is someone who can change the course of the match single handedly. It will be worth watching Colin Munro in his favorite format.
