Nagpur stadium gives a balanced pitch for both batsmen and
bowlers. The ground recently shows good bounce for fast bowlers and turns for
spinners. India won three out of five T20 matches played here. The last T20 in
2022 saw India beat Australia by six wickets, chasing the target. The average
first innings score stays around 168 runs.
This T20 series acts as important practice for both teams
before the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. India misses two main players due to injury
for the first three matches. This gives a chance to young players against a
strong New Zealand team that plays smart T20 cricket.
