T20 World Cup 2022: Warm-up Match 15 - New Zealand vs India Probable XIs, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Match Prediction, and Live Streaming Details
New Zealand and India will face each other in the 15th warm-up game of the T20 World Cup on Wednesday (October 19) at The Gabba in Brisbane.
India, captained by Rohit Sharma, got off to an impressive start after beating Australia by six runs on Monday (October 17). KL Rahul looked in ominous touch after he racked up a quickfire half-century. Virat Kohli scored 19 off 13 before perishing to a pull shot off Mitchell Starc.
Mohammed Shami bowled only one over but picked up three crucial wickets while conceding only four runs. After losing to Western Australia XI in Perth, the Men in Blue managed to make a decent comeback against Aaron Finch's men.
New Zealand, on the other hand, will be a little low on confidence. The Black Caps recently lost to Babar Azam's Pakistan by seven wickets in the final of the T20I tri-series at home. South Africa also beat them by nine wickets in a warm-up match.
After being put in to bat first, the Black Caps were bowled out for 98 in 17.1 overs. Barring Martin Guptill and Glenn Phillips, none of their batters could make a mark. Facing an in-form Indian team won't be easy for them by any means.
