New Zealand v India second Twenty20 betting preview, tip and TV details

Sky Sports Cricket 6am Friday

New Zealand made amends for their 4-1 loss to India in the one-day international series with an 80-run victory in the first Twenty20 and they can strike up another win in the second.

While none of India's top four batsmen could reach the 30-run mark, the Black Caps' openers were destructive at the crease, with Tim Seifert (84), Colin Munro (34) and Kane Williamson (34) all making fast starts.

New Zealand were crushed in their last T20 series, losing 3-0 to Pakistan in United Arab Emirates, but they are better on their own patch where they beat an accomplished Sri Lanka in a one-off T20 before the India series.

India's openers struggled to tame the pace of Tim Southee (3-17) and the slow spin of Mitchell Santner (2-24) in the first match and, despite being odds-on for a bounce back win, they could be outperformed again at Eden Park.
