New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to bowl first against India in a Super 12 game in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. Team India skipper Virat Kohli said the side is making two changes to the team that had lost the last match by 10 wickets against Pakistan. Ishan Kishan and Shardul Thakur replaced Suryakumar Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the starting XI. Suryakumar has had to be left out of the team due to a back spasm. Explaining the playing XI, Kohli said during the toss: “We would have bowled first as well. We need a solid start and have wickets in hand to get those extra 20-25 runs are the learnings from the last game. We do have the bowling line-up to take wickets, but when you don’t have runs on the board one partnership can take the game away from you. We understand that and plans are there to get those extra runs. It’s ridiculous, we are playing twice in 10 days. Too long a break, but yeah, the guys have recovered well. Had good practice sessions, are itching to go out on the field, which is a good thing. When you have so many days off you want to get on the park and get into the groove. It’s another opportunity to come out and correct the mistakes. Two changes. One forced, Surya has a lower back spasm, so Ishan Kishan will replace him and open the batting. Shardul Thakur replaces Bhuvneshwar Kumar.” (LIVE SCORECARD)
India Playing XI: Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah

New Zealand Playing XI: Martin Guptill, Daryl Mitchell, Kane Williamson(c), James Neesham, Devon Conway(w), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Trent Boult
After receiving a 10-wicket hammering by an inspired Pakistan side, the Virat Kohli-led side could field a new-look final combination. New Zealand, on the other side also lost their first match of the tournament to Pakistan by five wickets. Kane Williamson-captained team will aim for a lethal bowling performance to put the Indian batters under the pump and restrict the Asian giants dangerous-looking batting line up.

Look forward to another challenge against these guys who are obviously one of the favourites in the tournament. One change, Adam Milne comes in for Tim Seifert. Just gives us a nice balance to our bowling attack, provides us the extra pace as well. Conway will keep.”
