IND vs NZ, ICC World T20 2016 - Betting Tips and Prediction

The Kiwi batting line-up looks strong enough featuring quality batsmen like Martin Guptill, skipper Kane Williamson, Colin Munro and Ross Taylor. Guptill and Williamson currently occupy the 5th and 6th positions on the ICC T20 rankings. Williamson's batting record in India makes him a good betting option. Allrounders Nathan McCullum and Corey Anderson will provide stability to the middle-order. Despite being without their batting great Brendon McCullum, New Zealand still have quite an impressive batting unit.

The Kiwis too have good spinning options in Ish Sodhi, Mitchell Santner and Nathan McCullum. McCullum picked up 2 wickets in the warm-up match against England but his place in the playing XI looks vulnerable. Allrounder Santner has taken 7 wickets in his 5 T20Is at a decent economy rate, a record that makes him worth a bet. New Zealand also have a threatening pace attack with bowlers like Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Mitchell McClenaghan and Corey Anderson. But the spin-oriented sub-continent tracks make spinners a more profitable betting option.

Final Prediction

New Zealand are a bunch of power-packed performers and will come out all guns blazing to outwit India in front of their home crowd. If they can make early inroads in the host's batting line-up, they might well be in with a chance. But beating India in their own backyard will be a hard nut to crack for the Kiwis. The men in blue are looking in pristine form in the shortest format of the game. They have clean-swept Australia 3-0 down under, won the series against Sri Lanka at home and ended the Asia Cup undefeated like true champions. Though they still need to address certain issues in their bowling, India will go as red-hot favorites to win the first match of the Super 10 stage against a formidable New Zealand team.
