Rohit Sharma has taken on the India T20 captaincy and ended the world cup in strong form with scores of 74, 30 and 56. He is our tip for India’s highest run scorer in this match. Harshal Patel was the top wicket taker in this year’s IPL and deserves to make his debut for India in this game. He is our recommendation for their top wicket taker against New Zealand.
Martin Guptill hit New Zealand’s highest score of the T20 World Cup and is well worth backing as New Zealand’s highest run scorer against India. With the ball, Tim Southee was very impressive during the world cup and will lead the attack in the absence of Trent Boult. Southee is our recommendation for New Zealand’s top wicket taker in this game.
With 4 IT20 centuries to his name already, we expect Rohit Sharma to be the main man in his first game as full time captain. He is our prediction for the Player of The Match Award.

India vs New Zealand 1st T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
India take on New Zealand in the first of three men’s T20 internationals on Wednesday evening in Jaipur. The hosts had a disappointing 2021 T20 World Cup when they were knocked out in the Super 12 stage. New Zealand reached the final but were beaten by Australia on Sunday. Read on as we preview this game. This opening game of the series begins at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium at 19:00 local time.
Although India did not reach the semi-final stage of the world cup, they did win all of their final three games playing excellent attacking cricket. They will be very keen to begin a new era with a victory.
New Zealand put in a strong batting performance on Sunday but could not get the victory to win the trophy. They will miss Trent Boult and Kane Williamson in this series and may still be fatigued from Sunday’s final.

IND vs NZ Match Toss Prediction
With humidity not so much of a concern as in the UAE, bowling second should not be such a disadvantage. However, we expect both captains to choose to field first.
IND vs NZ Pitch Report
This is the first international game at the venue since 2013 and the first ever IT20. It should be a strong pitch for batting and the pace bowlers will have to work hard for their wickets.
Weather Report
Partly cloudy with the temperature falling from the mid 20s to the high teens during the game.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for India vs New Zealand 1st T20
This is the start of a new era in white ball cricket for India under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. They will miss the likes of Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah who have both been rested but may well use this as an opportunity to give debuts to Harshal Patel and Avash Khan during the series.
IND Key Players
Rohit Sharma - The captain has long been a part of the leadership group in the India T20 side. He comes into the game in strong form across all formats.
KL Rahul - The opener has had a fine run for India in Tests and IT20 cricket in recent months. He ended the world cup with three successive half-centuries.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar - With Jasprit Bumrah rested, the experienced Kumar will be given the task of leading the attack with the ball.
IND Team Form
India began the T20 World Cup with heavy defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand but played very good cricket in the subsequent games.
IND vs NZ Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
Rishabh Pant (9) and Tim Seifert (8.5) will be our wicket-keepers. Both are good wicket-keepers and excellent attacking batters.
Batsmen
Rohit Sharma (10), Martin Guptill (9) and KL Rahul (9.5) are our batsmen. All three come into this game with plenty of runs behind them in the UAE.
All-rounders
Jimmy Neesham (9) and Daryl Mitchell (9) will be our all-rounders. Mitchell was a surprise package for New Zealand in the world cup with big scores at the top of the order.
Bowlers
Ravichandran Ashwin (8.5), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (8.5), Harshal Patel (8) and Ish Sodhi (8) are our bowlers. Ashwin should enjoy the pitch conditions in Jaipur.
Captain/Vice-captain
Rohit Sharma will be captain, Martin Guptill his deputy

India vs New Zealand Match Prediction
New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
Trent Boult’s absence leaves a gaping hole in the New Zealand bowling attack. The left-arm quick registered figures of 2-18 in Sunday’s final. Kane Williamson will also be very hard to replace in the middle order. We expect to see Kyle Jamieson get the nod to replace Boult with his batting firepower an added bonus.
NZ Key Players
Martin Guptill - The opener had a strong world cup campaign but is now the main experienced head in the batting line-up.
Tim Southee - The experienced fast bowler will lead the team in the absence of Trent Boult and Kane Williamson. Southee had an exceptional world cup and took wickets throughout.
Jimmy Neesham - The bowling all-rounder was particularly impressive against England in the T20 World Cup semi-final hitting 27 from 11 balls.
NZ Team Form
There was not much to choose between the finalists on Sunday and New Zealand come into this series in fine form across all formats.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Martin Guptill, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Tim Seifert (wk), Jimmy Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee (c), Ish Sodhi, Adam Milne

India vs New Zealand Betting Odds
New Zealand may well have just reached the world cup final but they are underdogs in Jaipur
Who will win India vs New Zealand 1st T20?
There are form batters on each side with India’s openers coming into the game with plenty of runs behind them.
Rohit Sharma. KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan are our batting tips for India. Sharma and Rahul produced some fantastic opening partnerships in the final world cup games.
We recommend Martin Guptill, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips with the bat for New Zealand. Mitchell had a fine world cup for New Zealand.
Our bowling picks for India are Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel. Ashwin took 6 wickets in his three appearances in the world cup.
We are backing Adam Milne, Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee with the ball for New Zealand. Jamieson should be well rested after carrying drinks for the majority of the recent tournament.
New Zealand relish the title of underdogs but even they may struggle to motivate themselves for a game so soon after the end of the T20 World Cup. Without Trent Boult and Kane Williamson they will not be as effective with bat or ball and we are predicting a victory for India.
