NZ vs IND Dream11 Match Prediction | 1st ODI

New Zealand vs India ODI Match Preview:

NZ vs IND Dream11 Match Prediction: India and New Zealand will be in white-ball action once again after a completely one-sided affair in the T20I series. Both teams are now set to face each other in a 3-game one-day series with the first ODI to be played on Wednesday. After facing a whitewash in the shortest form of cricket, the Kiwis would be looking to bounce back in the 50-over format. Their opponents, India, must be feeling confident entering into the ODI series now. They would be hoping to repeat the T20I performances once again to clinch the ODI series as well. Now, both teams will enter the contest to gain the early advantage in the series by drawing the first-blood on Wednesday.
