If India defeats New Zealand in the upcoming ODI game, they will grab the top spot in ODI rankings replacing England. Similarly, if India manages to defeat Australia 2-0 in Border-Gavaskar Trophy next month, they can bag the top spot in Tests.

Speaking about IND vs NZ series, Wasim Jaffer said that the visitors Kiwi would be disappointed by their performance in the series against India.

“New Zealand should look to fight back, they were the No.1 ranked ODI team in the world. They will definitely be disappointed with their performances for sure. If you take away Mitchell Bracewell’s contributions, then New Zealand’s bowling and batting both has been poor in both matches. They need to put in a better display otherwise they will lose the series 3-0 and it will not be a good sign for them,” Jaffer said.

India defeated New Zealand in the 1st ODI by 12 runs. In the 2nd ODI, India crushed New Zealand by 8 wickets. The 3rd and the final ODI of the series takes place on January 24 (Tuesday). The venue of the clash is Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore.
