NZ vs IND Preview
- Back in the lineup for the NZ ODIs are Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur
- In the final ODI series played at home in 2020, New Zealand defeated India 3-0.
- In the T20I series, Indian bowlers crushed the opponents.
Following the conclusion of the IT20 series on Sunday night in a soggy Napier, India and New Zealand will focus on a three-match ODI series starting on Friday at Eden Park in Auckland. In September, Australia hosted the most recent ODI series and New Zealand lost by 3-0. Early in October, India defeated South Africa 2-1. At 14:30 local time, this game between day and night begins.
Though they were soundly defeated in their most recent ODI series, New Zealand is a much stronger team at home. They will be a very challenging opponent for India because they have a lot of batting experience.
India enters this series having just won the IT20 series 1-0. We anticipate India to be competitive in this ODI despite having a large number of players in the squad who are not first choices but have things to prove.

NZ vs IND Match Toss Prediction
44 of the 79 One Day Internationals played at this Auckland venue have been won by teams batting second. While India boasts a bowling attack that will keep troubling the hosts, New Zealand has a strong batting team that can chase down totals. Bowling first is in the best interest of both teams.
NZ vs IND Pitch Report
At Eden Park, a drop-in pitch is used. It benefits the batsmen and presents difficulties for the bowlers.
New Zealand Team News & Probable Playing XIs
We do not anticipate many changes from the hosts’ most recent ODI against Australia last month because they have been quite steady in the past with their team selections across all forms. Since Trent Boult was not selected, Matt Henry, a pace bowler, is set to take his spot in the lineup.

New Zealand is the favourite to win this match.
We anticipate that the teams will be evenly balanced in this first game of the series due to the shift in format from IT20s to ODIs. We expect that India’s hitters will struggle due to New Zealand’s skilled swing bowlers’ ability to generate lots of movement through the air in cloudy circumstances. We believe New Zealand will triumph in this ODI.
