Our Prediction
-
India is a very settled side and has more depth than at any point in recent memory
-
India has won series against Australia which will give them a lot of motivation playing in New Zealand
-
Indian bowling unit has been exceptional in the past few series so that will be the main factor for India to win
TOSS PREDICTION
The side winning the toss is almost certainly going to field first
PITCH AND CONDITIONS
New Zealand vs India first ODI is going to be played at McLean Park, Napier. The weather forecast for Napier on match day is excellent. There is no threat of rain and we should have an uninterrupted match.
The conditions are expected to be excellent for batting. A Super Smash game in Napier just a few days back so over 200 runs scored in each T20 inning. We can expect a score around 330 to be par in this match.
OUR PREDICTION
India should be able to get off to a winning start.
