KL Rahul will continue with the glove duty and is expected to bat in the middle order. The bowling looks settled, and the experimental batting order will play a significant role in deciding who will win today match.

On the other hand, New Zealand also suffered their share of setbacks as the captain and talismanic batsman Kane Williamson was ruled out of the first two matches due to injury.

The live prediction of the first ODI between India and New Zealand has heavily favoured the Indian side. The exceptional performance from the Indian side in the T20 series makes them the overwhelming favourites in today match prediction.

India Fantasy Predictions:

Indian team is high on confidence after the clean sweep in the T20 series. Both the bowling and batting department clicked for the team. However, a few concerns were raised in the fielding department, and the team management would have given a hard look to the fielding. On the other hand, the Kiwis look a much-changed side and could have as many as six changes in the playing 11. A different team could eliminate the negative feeling which was surrounding the team, and a better result could be expected. India has an experimental batting order and might falter against a sharp bowling attack. Therefore, India fantasy disagrees with win prediction and believes that New Zealand will win the match.
