With a 3-1 win-loss record over India, Kane Williamson’s New Zealand start as favourites in the T20I series that gets underway on Friday at Eden Park, Auckland.

India will be without the services of Shikhar Dhawan who injured his shoulder during the recently-concluded ODI series against Australia while the home team too have their key bowlers Trent Boult, Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson sidelined due to injuries.

The match on Friday will be Virat Kohli’s debut in T20Is in New Zealand and, more importantly, it is also the first time the two teams face off after the Kiwis knocked India out of the 2019 ICC World Cup and there will be a few scores to settle.

Here’s a look at some of the stats and records involving the two teams and their players:
