India vs New Zealand prediction

The vast majority expected New Zealand to wind up series losers after dropping the first of three ODIs away to India. But these Black Caps are made of strong stuff and roared back to shock the hosts, taking the next two games and the series. An excellent psychological boost for them ahead of these T20i fixtures and the T20 World Cup.

It will be interesting to see what sort of performance we get from India here. Their T20i will be significantly different without the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. But the home nation must be rattled and when taking into account how incredibly well New Zealand have been playing in India, there’s value to be had in backing them here.
