Hyderabad Stadium average score ODI: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium average score and highest successful ODI run chase

The first ODI of the 3-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Hyderabad is hosting an ODI match after a span of almost four years, and the ground is expected to be fully filled for the same.

Rohit Sharma has confirmed that Ishan Kishan will bat in the middle order with Shubman Gill opening the innings. Washington Sundar is also set to play the match in place of Axar Patel. It is certain that the top-order of the side is looking in great form, and they would want to continue in this match as well.

New Zealand has always troubled India in the white-ball format, and they will aim to do the same in this series as well. However, the duo of Kane Williamson and Tim Southee are the major absentees. Tom Latham and Devon Conway are certainly the most important batters of this squad on this tour.
