IND vs NZ 1st T20I LIVE: Weather & Pitch Conditions!
The match will played at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch. As per the local time the match is scheduled to start at 8 PM, which makes the conditions a bit tricky for the Indian side.
Mitchell Santner has already warned the Indian side of the cold conditions New Zealand can provide, and the late start will make it hard for Indian batters as a bit of extra bounce and nip can come into play.
Dew is also expected to kick in, making the toss a bit more crucial as it will be hard to grip the ball in the latter half of the game.
The weather forecast for Thursday points towards mostly sunny conditions in Christchurch, with a predicted high of around 24°C and a low of approximately 11°C. Weather Atlas puts the chance of precipitation at about 6%, with no measurable rainfall expected
