India vs New Zealand 1st T20I match details
The first T20 game between India and New Zealand is scheduled for Friday, January 27, at 7 PM IST. The match will be played at the JSA International stadium in Ranchi, Jharkhand.
Pitch report
Ranchi’s pitch has traditionally been favorable to both batters and bowlers. However, because it is a T20 game, the curators are doing all they can to make the wicket more high-scoring. The pitch has not helped the pacers, as the track is predicted to stay dry and slow, favoring the spinners. The venue has hosted 28 T20 games, with an average first innings score of 160.
Team India is currently performing well, and we should expect a high-scoring game at the site. Winning the toss is also important since dew will play a key factor at this venue and the captain may opt to chase.
Weather forecast
The average temperature at the venue during the game will be around 27 degrees Celsius during the day and 14 degrees Celsius at night. No precipitation is predicted on game day, thus fans can anticipate the full game without being interrupted by rain.
