The second game moves to Hagley Oval in Christchurch, the Test ground that also hosts India's 2nd Test from 27 November, so India A's batters get a direct look at a venue the senior side will play on. Hagley usually helps seam bowlers early, which makes it a good test for Akash Deep, Mukesh Kumar and Anshul Kamboj. Each day starts around 3 AM IST, from the night of 30 October in India. Rishabh Pant is still out for this match, with Kumar Kushagra keeping his place. On TV in India it is on Sony Sports Network, with streaming on SonyLIV.
