India vs New Zealand prediction

New Zealand sprung a surprise with victory in the second ODI and India will need to improve on the bowling front here. They took just three wickets as the Black Caps chased down 285 with two and a half overs left to spare. A team of hosts’ quality should bounce back strongly with the ball, knowing that the batters should do their job.

Holkar Stadium is known to be an excellent place to bat, so India should be in their element. New Zealand pose a significant threat themselves with the bat as we saw in the second ODI but assuming we see a positive response from the Indian bowling unit, the expectation is that the hosts will overcome them.

India vs New Zealand tip: India to win
