Arshdeep Singh was taken apart in another expensive over as Tim Seifert went on a rampage.

The slower ball didn’t help either, disappearing just as quickly as the rest, with runs flowing freely.

Arshdeep Singh to open the attack for India. He gives away 18 runs from the over.

Arshdeep Singh endured a torrid over as Devon Conway took control in style.

India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I LIVE SCORE: Pitch report

The Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium, hosting India’s 100th T20I at home, is known for its big boundaries, measuring around 68 metres square and 75 metres straight. The surface looks patchy with visible cracks and rolled-in grass, suggesting it could be a touch low and slow early on, bringing spinners into play. However, there is a visible sheen, indicating good carry for batters. Dew is expected to play a major role, making chasing the preferred option after the toss.
