India captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl in the second T20I in Raipur, with dew having already begun setting in. For the same reason, New Zealand too wanted to bowl first.
India made two changes to their XI. Axar Patel, who hurt his finger during the first T20I in Nagpur, was a forced absentee, while Jasprit Bumrah was rested. In came Kuldeep Yadav and Harshit Rana. Rana's inclusion allowed India to continue having batting cushion at No. 8.
New Zealand made three changes. Tim Seifert came in for Tim Robinson, Zak Foulkes for Kristian Clarke, and Matt Henry for Kyle Jamieson.

Opener Abhishek Sharma has smashed an incendiary 84 to drive India to a 48-run victory over New Zealand in the first Twenty20 international in Nagpur.
Put in to bat on Wednesday, India, who will begin their T20 World Cup title defence next month, racked up 7-238 with Abhishek hammering eight sixes in his 35-ball blitz.
In response, the in-form Glenn Phillips struck a rapid 78 but New Zealand finished on 7-190 at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium.
Earlier, Abhishek, currently the top-ranked T20 batsman in the world, led India's charge with a blistering knock, looking unfazed by the early exits of opening partner Sanju Samson and No.3 Ishan Kishan.
