Team Form Guide:

IND (recent last): L W W W W
NZ (recent last): NR L W W L

IND PLAYING 11

1. Rohit Sharma (C)
2. Shubman Gill
3. Virat Kohli
4. Ishan Kishan (WK)
5. Suryakumar Yadav
6. Hardik Pandya
7. Washington Sundar
8. Shardul Thakur
9. Kuldeep Yadav
10. Mohammed Siraj
11. Mohammed Shami

Indian opening pair looks settled with Rohit Sharma and inform Shubman Gill. With lack of options in the wicket-keeping department, Ishan Kishan is set to continue in the middle-order.
India will look to field the same side with Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur as the bowling all- rounders.
Umran Malik has failed to impress so far and we expect Shami and Siraj to continue.

Virat Kohli Stats in ODIs

We dont need to defend this selection. King Virat is in prime form once again and will look to make amends in the second game. Here are his stats versus New Zeand over the years:

Innings	Runs	Average	Strike Rate	Recent Form in ODIs
27	1386	57.75	94.54	113, 113 , 4, 166*, 8

Mohammed Siraj Stats in ODIs

Siraj is unplayable at the moment, specially with the new ball and should continue to do well. Take a look at his overall stats so far in ODIs:

innings	Wickets	Economy Rate	Average	Last 3 ODIs
20	34	4.7	28.12	2/30, 3/30, 4/32

NZ PLAYING 11

1. Finn Allen
2. Devon Conway
3. Henry Nicholls
4. Daryl Mitchell
5. Tom Latham
6. Glenn Phillips
7. Michael Bracewell
8. Mitchell Santner
9. Henry Shipley
10. Blair Tickner
11. Lockie Ferguson

The Kiwis are expected to field much of the same 11 that played the first game.
Destructive pair of Finn Allen and Devon Conway will open with Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell and skipper Tom Latham providing middle-order stability.
Bowling all-rounders Bracewell, Santner and Shipley provide depth to the batting department. Ish Sodhi is back fit but it remains to be seen who he will replace.
Both Tickner and Ferguson were expensive in the first game and Jacob Duffy is the most likely to replace one of them.

Devon Conway Stats in ODIs

Devon Conway has plenty of experience in the Indian conditions thanks to his IPL stint. He will look to get back to his scoring ways in the second game.

Innings	Runs	Best	Bat Avg	Last 3 ODIs
15	588	126	42	101, 52, 10

Lockie Ferguson Stats in ODIs

Ferguson is always a threat thanks to his blistering pace. He is often used in short spells are is a good bet to be amongst the wickets.

innings	Wickets	Economy Rate	Average	Last 3 ODIs
51	85	5.68	30.17	1/31, 2/63, 1/77

Who will win India vs New Zealand Today match?

We expect a tight contest with a potential first innings score of 270-300.
India have posted four consecutive scores of 350+ batting first.
India have won a total of 26 games at home compared to the Kiwis’ 8 away wins.

We expect New Zealand to bounce back in the second ODI and take the series to a thrilling decider as per our today match prediction.
