Team India's final preparatory assignment ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 gets underway today, as Suryakumar Yadav's side takes on New Zealand in the opening clash of the 5-match series. The hosts are bolstered by the returns of Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ishan Kishan, the latter of whom is confirmed to bat at number three in the absence of the injured Tilak Varma. Meanwhile, Mitchell Santner's New Zealand squad arrives with significant momentum following their historic ODI series win on Indian soil, relying on the explosive form of Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra to challenge India's formidable eight-series unbeaten streak in bilateral T20Is.
