NZ vs IND 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
After the IT20 series ended in a wet Napier on Sunday evening, New Zealand and India turn their attentions to a three-match ODI series beginning at Eden Park, Auckland on Friday afternoon. New Zealand lost their last ODI series 3-0 in Australia in September. India beat South Africa 2-1 in early October. Read on as we preview this opening ODI. This day-night game gets underway at 14:30 local time.
New Zealand were well beaten in their last ODI series but are a far stronger side at home. They have plenty of experience in their batting and will be a very tough opponent for India.
India come into this series off the back of winning the IT20 series 1-0. The squad has plenty of players who are not first choice players but have points to prove and we expect India to be competitive in this ODI.

NZ vs IND, Eden Park Pitch Report
There will be good pace in this wicket and we expect a par score to be in the region of 300. We predict that spinners will be used to keep the run-rate down as opposed to being a real wicket taking threat on this surface.
Auckland Weather Report
It will be overcast and increasingly humid across this game in Auckland. The temperature will be 18 degrees in the early hours of the match before dropping to 15 degrees by the end.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
The hosts have been very consistent with their team selections across all formats over recent times and we do not expect to see many changes from their most recent ODI against Australia last month. Trent Boult is not in the squad and his place in the team is likely to be taken by pace bowler Matt Henry.
NZ Key Players
- Devon Conway - The 31 year old top scored for New Zealand in the final IT20 on Monday with 59 runs from 49 balls. He is a very reliable batter across all formats.
- Kane Williamson - The skipper missed the final IT20 of the series with a minor injury but will return to captain his side in a format in which he averages 46.98.
- Tim Southee - The pace bowler took five wickets across the two games of the IT20 series and is one wicket away from bringing up 200 dismissals in this format.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand are looking to avoid their fourth successive ODI defeat in this game. They won their last home ODI series 3-0.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
After taking brilliantly to IT20 cricket since his debut in July, left-arm swing bowler Arshdeep Singh is expected to get his first ODI cap in this match. Hardik Pandya, who captained India during the IT20 series, has returned to India and Shikhar Dhawan will captain the side in this series.
IND Key Players
- Shikhar Dhawan - The 36 year old left-handed opener has a very calm style which will relax his bowlers in the field. With the bat, he averages 45.08 and has a top score of 143.
- Suryakumar Yadav - The 32 year old averages 34.00 from 12 ODI innings since making his debut last year. However he has been very impressive in IT20s this year and will be a key wicket for New Zealand to take.
- Deepak Chahar - The swing bowler will be delighted to have seen the weather forecast of cloud cover ahead of this game and will be very hard to face. His best ODI figures are 3-27.
IND Team Form
India have won nine of their last 10 ODIs with their only defeat coming in their 2-1 series win over South Africa.
India Predicted Playing 11
Shikhar Dhawan (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Deepak Chahar, Arshdeep Singh

Who will win New Zealand vs India 1st ODI Match?
Although India won the IT20 series, the 50-over format requires more discipline from bowlers. New Zealand’s will be more comfortable with the conditions which we think will be crucial in this match.
🏆 New Zealand vs India Prediction
With a change in format from IT20s to ODIs, we expect the teams to be well matched in this opening game of the series. In overcast conditions, New Zealand’s experienced swing bowlers should have no problem in getting plenty of movement through the air and we expect this to cause India’s batters problems. We are backing New Zealand to win this ODI.
