The second match will be played today at 12:00 PM at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui.

India's new captain Hardik Pandya is leading the team for the three-match T20I series against New Zealand while Shikhar Dhawan will lead the side in the three-match ODI series. On the other hand, the Kiwis are led by skipper Kane Williamson.
