India vs New Zealand 1st T20I Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch Series Opener?

The five-match T20I series against New Zealand will start on January 21, 2026, at VCA Stadium, Nagpur. The series will play a crucial role for both sides to tune in their combinations through trial and error ahead of the T20 World Cup next month.

New Zealand will arrive in the series with newfound confidence after their maiden ODI series win against India on Indian soil. However, the visitors have struggled in the T20I format against India, having failed to secure a single win in the last four T20I series against India.

Meanwhile, India have some key players like Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah back for the series after being rested in the ODI series ahead of the World Cup. Additionally, captain Suryakumar Yadav has confirmed that Ishan Kishan will feature in the opener match and will bat at number 3.
