Lucknow: India will have to raise their game a few notches as the Hardik Pandya-led side face a must-win situation to level the three-match T20I series against New Zealand on Sunday. India lost the first game in Ranchi by 21 runs on Friday.

The loss also highlighted India's bowling profligacy, especially by the pace duo of Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik. If tearaway pacer Malik conceded 16 runs in one over, Arshdeep leaked 27 runs in the last over, which put pressure on the India batters while chasing.

That expensive over from the young left-arm quick was the turning point as he was smashed for three sixes and a boundary. India's batters were off to an inauspicious start with the top-three managing just 15 runs.

The hosts ended up scoring 155/9, which would have been a par score to defend on the wicket, as indicated by Washington Sundar after the match. It is to be seen if Hardik brings in uncapped Mukesh Kumar or back Arshdeep to bounce back on Sunday.

However, India's only positive from the first game is Washington Sundar, who not only bowled a tidy four overs of spin to take two wickets, but also emerged India's top-scorer with a 28-ball 50 batting at No. 6.

The Kiwis, on the other hand, would look for another victory to secure a memorable series win in India. They will once again rely heavily on their in-form duo of Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell.
