India and New Zealand will take on three T20I games starting from November 18th. The first match will happen on November 18th. Sky Stadium in Wellington will host the fixture. Here, we look at the pitch report of Sky Stadium and the weather conditions in Wellington for IND vs NZ 2022.
Hardik Pandya will lead the Indian Team in this series. The likes of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul have been given rest and hence, Hardik will captain the squad. India’s T20I Team is likely to undergo some major changes. The start for the same is likely to be triggered with this series.
The Kiwis have made a bold move by dropping the likes of Martin Guptill and Trent Boult. Players such as Kane Williamson will look to find form at the earliest. This will help the squad in the coming months.

Also known as the Westpac Trust Stadium, at this venue, till now, we have witnessed a total of 15 T20I encounters. Out of this, eight games have been won by the side batting second. Hence, there is not much between the sides that bat first or second at this venue.
The average score batting first is 162, which is also the highest target breached in this stadium. While Tim Seifert’s 84 in 2019 against India is the highest individual score, Ashton Agar’s 6/30 last year is the best bowling performance by a player.

On Friday, we can expect temperatures to be around 18 degrees celsius at around the time the match begins. This will be convenient for the game to happen.
While precipitation on Friday is 100%, Humidity expected is 80%. Rain is a possibility and the fans will strongly hope that it is otherwise. Having had a lot of rain-marred games recently, a full T20 match is the wish now.
