India vs New Zealand – Team Performance in the Past Matches

New Zealand is touring India for a 3-match ODI series followed by a 3-match T20I series and the first ODI match is scheduled on 18th January 2023 at Hyderabad. Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian side. Virat Kohli, who is full of form will make the side stronger. Kohli scored 2 centuries in the last ODI series against Sri Lanka. His unbeaten 166-run power stroke in the 3rd ODI shows his comeback in the 50-over format. Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Mohammad Shami, and Mohammed Siraj are other important players in the Indian squad. Gill has also scored a ton in the 3rd ODI against Sri Lanka. The bowling unit was also excellent throughout the series to clean-swipe the series 3-0.

The Kiwis will be led by Tom Latham while Kane Williamson will miss the series. Mitchell Santner, Glen Phillips, and Lockie Ferguson are the crucial players for New Zealand. Earlier, New Zealand faced Pakistan for a 3-match ODI series and they won the series 2-0. Glenn Phillips was good with the bat in the 3rd match while Devon Conway and Kane Williamson scored runs in the second match. Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, and Lockie Ferguson were excellent with the ball in the series.

The Kiwis are now placed top of the ICC Men’s ODI rankings while India stays in fourth position. Both teams are good in their own ways in the 50-over format. Let’s wait and watch who will prevail in the first ODI.
