India would try making amends and aim to bounce back in the 2021 T20 World Cup when they take on New Zealand on October 31 (Sunday) in Dubai. A week's time after a humiliating 10-wicket defeat against Pakistan in the opening match has given Virat Kohli and Co. enough time to reflect, introspect and improve on the shortcomings. 

The tournament start hasn't been pleasant for the Kiwis too as they also lost to the same rival Pakistan by five wickets. 

Saying that, both India vs New Zealand have a personal history in the tournament and we will take a quick look at quick T20I stats from their previous encounters.
