The home team India recently came back from the New Zealand tour. Indian team had played five T20I’s, three ODI’s and two test matches on that tour. India lost both test’s, and also all three ODI’s. But it looks like the Indian cricket department, all of their coaches, staff and also the players are working just on the t20I format. Their full focus is on the upcoming t20 World Cup 2020. Because India won all five T20I’s against the New Zealand team. Dharamsala cricket stadium’s previous records show that the bowling first team has won the most matches.
