The three-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will get underway on Friday, November 25 at Eden Park in Auckland. Team India won the recent T20I series by 1-0, after the third T20I ended in a tie, as rain played spoilsport. The Kane Williamson-led will be keen to settle the scores in the ODIs.
New Zealand hasn’t been at its best in the last few ODI matches. They have lost three out of their last five ODI matches. However, they will still start as favorites against India in their home conditions. Finn Allen, Matt Henry, and Tim Southee will be the key for hosts in the series. On the other hand, India is without the services of their regulars, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah. Shikhar Dhawan will be leading the team in their absence.
The three-match ODI series promises to be a cracker with both teams boasting some talented individuals. We are in for an exciting contest on Friday, November 25 at Eden Park in Auckland.
