Unlike India, New Zealand will be feilding out a similar T20 side that went in the world cup. They also went to the semis in the competition losing out to Pakistan. Martin Guptill and Trent Boult are not in the squad but other than that the whole team is pretty much the same as world cup squad. New Zealand are having a rough time in T20s as they have won only twice in last five games. They will be looking to change their fortunes and prepare for the next bug tournament.
New Zealand Lineup

India form
India had another disappointing T20 world cup and they were not able to win any silverware. They crashed out in the semis against England and again lost the game by 10 wickets. India has done well in the bilateral series but their performances in the big games have been under par. India will be looking to start the next campaign on a positive note with some fresh faces and changes in the lineup.
India Predicted Lineup
Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya (c), Washington Sundar, Umran Malik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal
