New Zealand is a beast in their home conditions, and they will again be a team to beat in this series. Blackaps’ regular captain Kane Williamson missed the last T20I, but he is back for this one. Finn Allen will be given a long rope now, and he will have the responsibility to be the aggressor at the top.

The 3-match ODI series will be played across three venues in Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch. All the venues will possess different sorts of challenges for the players due to the boundary dimensions and other aspects. All the matches will start at 7 am IST, which is 2:30 pm local time.
The last ODI series between both sides in New Zealand was played in 2020 when the New Zealand side completed a whitewash. Virat Kohli’s statement about the relevance of ODIs gained a lot of highlights after India lost the series in New Zealand. The Blackcaps have certainly dominated the Indian team in their home conditions.
Considering the ODI World Cup next year, this series will be important for both teams. New Zealand is looking to live life without the services of Martin Guptill and Trent Boult. Finn Allen has almost secured his place at the top, but Boult is a big miss. For the Indian team, the big guns are missing, and the youngsters have a great chance in the upcoming matches.
