Of course, the two teams’ rosters are in stark contrast, with India fielding a number of young players and the hosts keeping the majority of the team from the T20 World Cup.

There were other subplots, stories, and matchups that we were eager to see develop. Unfortunately, it will have to wait until after the two sides relocate to Tauranga because the second T20I will be played at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
