The first ODI of New Zealand’s tour of India 2023 will be played in Hyderabad tomorrow. While ODI rivalry between these two teams will be resuming after only seven weeks, the same will be happening in India after over half-a-decade. New Zealand, however, had visited the country to participate in a three-match T20I series right after ICC T20 World Cup 2021.

It is worth mentioning that these two teams will be playing their 17th bilateral ODI series against each other. Historically, India have won eight as compared to six victories for New Zealand. India, who had last won an ODI against New Zealand almost four years ago, have lost their last two ODI series against them.

Having said that, New Zealand are yet to win a bilateral ODI series in India despite six attempts in the last 35 years. Notwithstanding New Zealand coming on the back of winning an ODI series in Pakistan, India would be banking on their formidable home record against the Black Caps. Yet to lose an ODI in 2023, maintaining their winning streak would be no mean task for India against this opposition though.
