- Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow

Series Prediction
Team India is very good in the bilateral series and especially in India they are considered a formidable team who can chase and defend any score within India. We expect India to win the T20I series by 2-1 while the ODI series odds are with New Zealand because of their past performances in India along with some good pace and spin options that often trouble Indian batters. Tom Latham will be looking to win the ODI series at least which will be a great morale boost for the Kiwis as a preparation for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
