First of the 2 match twenty20 series between host India and New Zealand will be played on Saturday, 8th September, 2012 at Indira Priyadarshini Stadium, Visakhapatnam, in a day-night game revised from 8.00 PM to 13:30 GMT, 19:00 local, 19:00 IST.
India comfortably won the test series but this match is awaiting the return of Yuvraj Singh in the international cricket after recovering from cancer. It is unlikely that Bhajji will make a come back as Ashwin and Ojha doing well. This series is good practice before the World T20.
New Zealand will try to get their first win of the series and return of Daniel Vettori and Jacob Oram will boost them. They need big innings from McCullum, Taylor and Guptill at the top of the order.
