IND vs NZ Today’s 1st T20I Match, Pitch Report :

The wicket at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium is expected to be batting-friendly with good bounce, making strokeplay easier under lights. The surface traditionally assists batters to score freely, though there is a bit in it for the bowlers early with some pace and bounce on offer. Dew is likely to play a factor later in the evening, which usually makes chasing under lights easier, so the team winning the toss may prefer to bowl first. Overall, a competitive total is expected, with both batters and bowlers having moments to influence the game.
