India vs New Zealand prediction

Virat Kohli starred again for India as they won game one of this three-match set at the weekend, beating New Zealand by four wickets. Kohli’s well-paced 93 from 91 balls was vital as each of India’s top four recorded scores of over 25 runs, before KL Rahul helped finish the job down the order. The Black Caps utilised seven bowlers, but a lack of quality aside from Kyle Jamieson ultimately told.

Jamieson picked up four wickets and will be key again here for New Zealand. Unfortunately for them, they are up against an Indian batting order laced with class, power and control. With such incredible depth at their disposal, it’s hard not to see another home victory in this second ODI.

India vs New Zealand tip: India to win
