NZ vs IND Head-to-Head Records, New Zealand’s Head-to-Head Record Against India – India Tour Of New Zealand 2022, 1st ODI. New Zealand and India go head to head in the first of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand in Auckland on November 25. The next two ODIs will be played on November 27 (Hamilton) and November 30 (Christchurch).

The Men in Blue are heading into the ODI series after winning the T20I series 1-0. The first NZ vs IND T20I was washed out due to rain. India won the second T20I by 65 runs after defending a mammoth 191-run target. The NZ vs IND 3rd T20I was tied through the DLS method.

Shikhar Dhawan is leading India in the ODI series after Hardik Pandya has been rested from the series. The likes of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Japsrit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja are also missing from the ODI series. Jadeja is out of the Indian team since the Asia Cup 2022.

Sanju Samson, Shubman Gill, and Umran Malik are all a part of India’s ODI squad for the series. The team selection for the three ODIs will be an interesting observation. All three players did not play any of the three T20Is.

The Kiwis, on the other hand, have a full-strength squad led by Kane Williamson. Trent Boult and Martin Guptill are not a part of the ODI squad having ended their central contracts with the board. This is a young Kiwi side with plenty of players to watch out for.

India last played New Zealand in New Zealand in a bilateral series in 2020. India whitewashed the Kiwis 5-0 in the T20I series winning two matches on Super Over. The Kiwis came back to win the ODI and the Test series.
