Follow New Zealand vs India 2nd T20I live score: Real-time win probability, live commentary, playing XIs, and ball-by-ball updates.

The second T20I between New Zealand and India is set to take place at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Saturday, October 24. India enters the match with a 1-0 series lead, while New Zealand will be seeking to regain the initiative on a ground that produced over 450 runs in the opening game. Ishan Kishan will be absent due to a groin strain, potentially opening the way for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to return to the Indian lineup.

Weather conditions are expected to be clear and dry, making the ball difficult for spinners and death bowlers later in the evening. The toss is scheduled for 12 pm IST, and the team winning the toss is likely to choose to field first. New Zealand's captain, who wins the toss, will have a strategic advantage in the second T20I.

Current win probabilities indicate that New Zealand have a 70% chance of victory, while India are favored with a 30% chance. Betting odds reflect this, with India at 1.45 and New Zealand at 2.10.
