New Zealand are tipped to win the upcoming ODI against India, with Finn Allen selected as the top run-scorer for the hosts. India have already secured the series 2-0 and are rotating their squad, including resting Gill and Rahul and appointing Shreyas Iyer as captain. New Zealand add Allen and Foxcroft, with Henry targeting a return. Virat Kohli remains a strong pick for India's top batter. Recent form, squad changes and Allen's batting are key factors in backing New Zealand to keep the series alive.

India have a 2-0 lead with two games to play so can no longer lose the series. However, with their squad being reshuffled, I am leaning towards the hosts to get back into the series.

Key Stats - Allen Form Promising


  • New Zealand’s Finn Allen has scored 45, 40 & 31 in his last 5 innings.
  • New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell has scored 24, 29, 28 & 55 in his last 4 innings.
  • New Zealand’s Jacob Duffy has taken 4/23, 3/49 & 3/35 in 4 innings.
  • India’s Virat Kohli has scored 65, 74, 139*, 29 & 74.
  • India’s Shreyas Iyer scored 22, 50 & 30 in his last 4 innings.
  • India’s Gurnoor Brar has figures of 3/44 & 4/30 in the first 2 ODIs.
  • India have won 3 of their last 5 ODIs against New Zealand.

Head-to-Head


India won the first two ODIs of the series with the third match rained out. New Zealand won the previous two ODIs between the sides back in January. 

New Zealand Need to Bounce Back


New Zealand are winless in three matches with their batting a major concern after being dismissed for less than 200 in both completed ODIs in the series. 

Openers Will Young and Tim Seifert have struggled to assert themselves, with Young managing just 15 runs in two innings and while Seifert followed his opening score of 38 with a duck in Wellington.

Daryl Mitchell remains New Zealand's biggest batting hope. He scored 55 in the second ODI and has dominated India recently, smashing four centuries and three half-centuries in his last nine innings against them at an outstanding average of 85.5. Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips and captain Mitchell Santner provide valuable middle-order experience.

Kyle Jamieson has been New Zealand's standout bowler, claiming 11 wickets in his last five ODIs. He has also taken 16 wickets in nine matches against India. Jacob Duffy impressed with three wickets in Wellington while Santner has claimed six wickets in his last five appearances.

India can Secure series victory


India take a 2-0 lead into the fourth ODI with their bowling attack dominating New Zealand's batting. The hosts were dismissed for just 185 and 134 in the opening two games with Gurnoor Brar claiming seven wickets, including career-best figures of 4/30 in Wellington.

Rohit Sharma has scored 627 runs in 14 ODIs this year and will open alongside Ishan Kishan, who has smashed 174 runs at a strike rate of 144.00 in the series. Virat Kohli remains India's biggest batting threat after scoring 1009 runs in his last 14 ODIs at an extraordinary average of 90.00, including four centuries.

Captain Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Axar Patel provide middle-order strength while Brar leads the pace attack with 21 wickets in 11 ODIs. Anshul Kamboj has also impressed with an economy rate of 2.61 and offers India another valuable new-ball option.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Shreyas Iyer takes over the captaincy for the last two matches of the series with Gill and Rahul rested. New Zealand have added Allen and Foxcroft, with Henry also targeting a return.

New Zealand (possible XI): Finn Allen, Will Young, Tim Seifert, Nick Kelly, Dean Foxcroft, Mitchell Santner (c), Michael Bracewell, Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy, Kristian Clarke.

India (possible XI): Rohit Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (c), Ishan Kishan, Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Gurnoor Brar, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Auqib Nabi.

Verdict

New Zealand are backed to keep the series alive with Finn Allen my pick top score for the hosts while Virat Kohli is always a reliable pick to star with the bat.
