India won the T20s series after cruising into a 3-0 lead but New Zealand won the final two games to make it 3-2. That will give the hosts some confidence heading into the longer format.

India Hold Narrow Recent Lead
India lead the last five ODIs 3-2 against New Zealand but the Black Caps have won the last two encounters.
New Zealand form
New Zealand’s successful chase in Hamilton included a brilliant innings of 93 from Tim Seifert and an unbeaten 65 from in-form Glenn Phillips. Daryll Mitchell hit four sixes in his 16-ball 29 to power New Zealand to a seven-wicket win with two overs to spare.
Earlier Adam Milne (4/19) had starred with the ball backed up by Nathan Smith and Blair Tickner, who each picked up a pair of wickets as they limited India to a score of 191/8 off their 20 overs.
India Form
India retain quality throughout the batting order by bringing Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli into the longer format alongside skipper Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer.
Abhishek Sharma was India’s top-scorer in the T20I series but won’t be part of the ODI contest. Shreyas Iyer brings good white-ball form into the series with scores of 42, 22 and 50 in the T20I series. Arshdeep Singh (six wickets) was once against India’s leading light with the ball.
Predicted Lineups
New Zealand squad: Mitchell Santner (c), Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry, Tim Seifert, Kyle Jamieson, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Nathan Smith, Blair Tickner and Will Young.
India squad: Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Gurnoor Brar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Ishan Kishan, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Yadav.
Verdict
India have the stronger batting pedigree on paper and are backed by the bookies, but they have my vote for the win as they come into the clash with back-to-back wins in the T20I series and also won their last two ODIs against India. Glenn Phillips and Virat Kohli are my picks to star with the bat.
