Tip Summary

  • India caused a whitewash against Sri Lanka in their last three-match ODI series.
  • The New Zealand cricket team scripted history in Pakistan by winning the ODI series by 2-1. 
  • The two teams have given tough competition to each other in the 50-over format. India have won 55 One Day Internationals while New Zealand are not far behind with 50 victories. 

After touring Pakistan, the New Zealand cricket team is touring India for a three-match ODI series followed by three T20 Internationals. The limited-overs tour kick starts on Wednesday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad as the two teams will be playing against each other in the first One Day International. 

Going into the three-match series, India have only one major injury concern in the form of Shreyas Iyer. The middle-order has been ruled out of the team because of a back injury. It is a big blow for the side considering Shreyas was one of the top scorers for the team last year. However, barring him, all the players who featured in India’s last ODI series against Sri Lanka are available for selection.

The Men in Blue will be in high spirits as they scored a brilliant 3-0 win against the island nation while playing at home conditions. Moreover, India have enjoyed a good ride in the 50-over format the last year. Their only loss came during the tour to Bangladesh in December by 1-2. They are occupying second place in the World Cup Super League table. 

Coming to New Zealand, they are at the top of the World Cup Super League table. The Kiwi nation recorded a historic win against Pakistan last week by 2-1. It was an all-round effort from the team as they ticked all the boxes. The visitors will be missing two key players, including Tim Southee and Kane Williamson. They have been rested for One Day Internationals.

Player of the Match: Virat Kohli

Player Of The Match
  • Tip By: Brian Thorpe
  • Tournament: New Zealand tour of India 2023

Former Indian captain Virat Kohli is back amongst runs in international cricket after churning out lukewarm performances in the past three years. Kohli’s comeback kick-started during the Asia Cup as he ended up as the second-highest run-getter. The batter topped the run-scoring charts in the T20 World Cup 2022. Meanwhile, it was in the Sri Lanka series that he established his domination again in One Day Internationals as well. Virat Kohli commenced the three-match series with a century to propel his team to a score of 373 runs. He failed to make a mark in the second One Day International after being dismissed at a score of four runs. Meanwhile, it was the last One Day International that saw the batting maestro smashing his 74th international century. In 110 balls, the 34-year-old smacked 166 runs with the help of 13 boundaries and eight maximums. Virat Kohli also took home the man of the series award for leading the charts. He is likely to continue the momentum against New Zealand as well.

Moreover, Conway also has experience playing on Indian pitches as he represented Chennai Super Kings in the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League.
