Hey Guys, Welcome back to SlogVlog! Today we’ll be doing a preview of the 1st T20 between India and New Zealand.
This is Rohit Sharma’s first assignment as permanent T20 Captain for India and this is Rahul Dravid’s first assignment as permanent India coach.
India’s ICC T20 WC campaign ended when New Zealand beat Afghanistan and New Zealand got crushed in the final against Australia. New Zealand has played really well against India they beat India by 8 wickets when they met them in the T20 WC and they even trashed them in the WTC final. So, New Zealand will go in with a lot of confidence in this series. Anyways, let’s get on with the post!
We’ll look at the weather report first.
Weather Report:
According to the weather reports the weather in Rajasthan will be cloudy tomorrow. So a good amount of dew is expected tomorrow but no rain is expected.
Pitch Report:
The Sawai Mansingh stadium pitch is right now an unpredictable pitch. No international match has been played over there in 8 years and the last cricket match played over there was 2 years back in the IPL. But since the weather is cloudy tomorrow dew will play a major role in the match, so whichever team wins the toss should elect to bowl first. But if you are batting first then a 170+ score will be good.
