New Zealand v India: second friendly at One New Zealand Stadium on November 15, 2026

India will face New Zealand in the second international friendly at One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 08:40 IST. The match follows New Zealand’s 5-0 victory over India in the opening friendly between the two sides.

Khalid Jamil’s Indian squad travel to Christchurch for what the sources describe as a vital away clash after the disappointing first-game result. The fixture is scheduled as the first-ever international held at the newly opened One New Zealand Stadium, a 25,000-seat, fully roofed venue that opened in March this year. The stadium sits on land called Te Kaha within the wider precinct Te Kaharoa, a name the article gives as meaning ‘Enduring Strength’ in Māori.

New Zealand, who featured in the most recent edition of the FIFA World Cup, used the opening friendly to create numerous chances and secured a 5-0 win. The Kiwis view these friendlies as opportunities to display form and correct errors from previous matches, and the article notes they will look to control the game from the start using experienced players.

The report highlights striker Chris Wood as a focal point for New Zealand’s attack, saying he occupies two or three defenders and opens space for the wingers to exploit free flank areas and convert chances. It also states that New Zealand had a decent campaign at the last World Cup 2026 but were knocked out at the group stage.

For India, the piece criticises squad selection decisions during the last session, saying the call-up of SAFF travelling squad players to bolster the main team weakened the SAFF Championship squad and contributed to a poor display. The Blue Tigers are described as needing to play as a unit, maintain a solid defensive line and lock in their defensive system quickly to counter New Zealand’s experienced and fast attacking transition trio.

Broadcast details in the article state the match will be live-streamed on FIFA+ via DAZN.com and the DAZN app. For further updates the piece directs readers to follow Khel Now on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, and to download the Khel Now Android App or IOS App or join its communities on Whatsapp & Telegram.

The fixture on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 08:40 IST is presented in the source as India’s last international game against the All Whites on this tour.
