(Cricket news) After winning the first T20I in Jaipur, team India will be looking to seal the series in the 2nd T20I. New Zealand have a chance to bring it back on level terms to set up a cracking decider in the 3rd T20I. The match will be played at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. 

India's Possible Playing XI:

Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Venkatesh Iyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal.

India wouldn't want to fiddle around with their batting line up much. Shreyas Iyer is the only player who can potentially miss out. There could be experimentation in the bowling line up. This line-up would mean that Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel are dropped and Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan & Harshal Patel still have to wait for their opportunity. India would love to seal the series in order to give the newbies a chance in the 3rd game.

New Zealand Possible Playing XI:

Martin Guptill, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Tim Seifert (w), JImmy Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee(c), Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult

Ish Sodhi should be back in the side instead of Tod Astle who didn't have the best of games last time. Jimmy Neesham has recovered from his illness and gets straight back into the side to give a much needed 6 bowling option.

This will be the first T20I to be played in Ranchi since 2017. The pitch is expected to be a good one to bat on. The dew factor will come into play but not as much as it did in Jaipur. India should use their home advantage and win this match to seal the series.
