The series is going to start between India and New Zealand. During this period, T20, ODI and Test matches will be played, but it will start with the T20 International match series. The first match of the series is to be held on 22nd October i.e. Thursday. For this, both the teams are busy in their preparations. The first match of the five T20 match series will be held in Christchurch. The series is in New Zealand, so it is very important for you to know what time it will start according to Indian time. There is a lot of difference in the time between India and New Zealand, so it will be very important to keep this in mind.
India vs New Zealand first T20 match will start at 12:30 pm Indian time.
Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, the Indian cricket team is finalizing its preparations after reaching New Zealand. If we talk about the first match of the T20 International match series, it will start at 12:30 noon Indian time. The toss will take place half an hour before this i.e. at 12 o’clock and the first ball will be bowled at 12.30. However, according to New Zealand time, this match will start at 8 pm. That means, according to New Zealand, it will be a night match, whereas according to India, it will be played during the day. If the full 20 overs game is played, it will end by around 4 pm Indian time. That means if you go to watch the match in the evening, the match will be over by then.
Team India will be tested in New Zealand series
This series is going to be very important for Team India. The pitch there is quite different from the pitches in India. Also, the team has not got much time to practice. It will not be easy to reach there so soon and adapt to the environment and pitch there. Not only the batsmen but also the bowlers will be tested. The New Zealand team has been consistently playing well at home, so defeating them is not going to be an easy task.
