with the primary objective of building momentum ahead of the World Cup.
New Delhi: The Indian team will take the field against New Zealand with a strong intent to secure victory in the five-match T20 series. India recently suffered a 1–2 defeat in the three-match One Day International series, and will now be keen to bounce back with an improved performance. The focus will be on regaining rhythm and confidence before the T20 World Cup, which is set to begin next month. The tournament will be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, starting from February 7.
