New Zealand vs India Prediction: New Zealand to win the series

New Zealand will be facing off against India in the second one-day game of the three-game series being held, at Seddon Park. After winning the T20 series, India lost the first ODI by seven wickets. Will New Zealand continue their momentum in ODIs or will India level up the series?

New Zealand form

New Zealand won all of their games when India visited New Zealand in 2020. New Zealand is going as favourites in the game and the series. They will be looking to replicate the success of two years back. Just one game remains between them and their success. Kane Williamson and Tom Latham provided one of the best partnerships to steer the kiwis home in the first game. Latham scored a century while helping the blackcaps win the game. New Zealand will be hoping for a similar performance in the second game as well. 

New Zealand Lineup

Devon Conway, Tom Latham (WK), Kane Williamson (c), Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson

India form

India will be looking for a completely changed side from the T20s. The team started slow and kept losing wickets which derailed their batting and eventually they were not able to post a good total. The bowling was also subpar with some superstars missing from the tournament. The team has to be at their best in the second game to save the series. We can expect some changes in the Indian bowling lineup and men in blue can really use an extra pacer in their ranks. 

India Predicted Lineup

Shikhar Dhawan (c), Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Deepak Hooda/Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal
