India and New Zealand will face each other for the 1st ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday.

Pitch Report and Toss:

The wicket at Hamilton is on the slower side and is nowhere near a paradise which other wickets in New Zealand are considered for batsmen. The third T20I was played in Seddon Park, and the wicket is expected to remain the same for the second ODI as well. The chasing team has won all the matches at Seddon Park, and therefore the team winning the toss should opt to bat second.
