India secured a narrow victory in the second T20I against New Zealand on October 24, successfully chasing a target of 181. Despite losing early wickets including Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the team recovered from a precarious 70/5 position to win with five balls remaining.

Captain Shreyas Iyer lauded the resilience of Tilak Varma, who remained unbeaten on 51, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, who contributed to a vital 69-run partnership. Naman Dhir also received praise for his 31-run cameo and his contributions with the ball, while Kumar Kushagra served as a backup for the injured Ishan Kishan.
