After their six-wicket win, India will now lock horns with New Zealand, before they begin their T20 World Cup campaign against Pakistan on October 23. India skipper Rohit Sharma, while speaking about the lineup for the most awaited contest, said, “I don’t believe in last-minute decisions. We want to keep our boys informed about team selection before so that they can prepare early. I already have my XI for the Pakistan match. Already, those players are informed. I don’t believe in last-minute thing. I want them to prepare well.”

Inspite of that, India might want to test something in the warm-up game. Sharma himself would like to spend some time out on the crease, as he has not been able to score big for quite some time. India’s main concern, their bowling will be tested again a formidable New Zealand batting lineup, who in their last warm-up match, were bowled out at 99. New Zealand, on the other hand, would like to win the match after their crushing defeat in the previous warm-up match, as they play Australia in the tournament opener on October 22.
