India vs New Zealand prediction

Despite the series being over, New Zealand registered a consolation victory in game four, avoiding the possibility of a sweep at least heading into this fifth and final match. The Black Caps put up their highest score of the series so far on Wednesday and India couldn’t match it, bowled out for 165 to lose by exactly 50 runs.

But expect India to bounce back sharply as the last thing they’ll want to do is head into the T20 World Cup following back-to-back losses and at home, India should be winning this series by more than three games to two. Their batting is likely to rebound here and it’s worth backing them to make it a 4-1 series victory.
