Kolkata: Kolkata will be the venue of the Asia-Oceania Group I second round Davis Cup tie between India and New Zealand beginning April 4.

The outing, scheduled to be held at the lush green grass court of the Calcutta South Club (CSC), would conclude on April 6, Bengal Tennis Association (BTA) treasurer Hiranmoy Chatterjee told reporters on Wednesday. He said the winner of the tie would qualify for the world group play-off.

India had carved out a facile 4-1 win over Japan in the Asia Oceania Group I first round tie in New Delhi last week, while New Zealand trounced Pakistan 5-0 at Hamilton.

Chatterjee said that the date of draw and logistics would be decided later.
