India vs New Zealand Chance of Winning

India struggled to make an impact in the last game as they head into this game with the series 1-1. India dominated the opening game and took a 1-0 lead but in the last game, India were second best in all departments and eventually struggled to defend the total which set this game beautifully for the neutrals.

New Zealand headed into this series as one of the best ODI teams in 2025. They were outstanding at home as they won nine games on the bounce. After losing the opening game, they bounced back and won the last game by seven runs. As per our calculations, India are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • India’ chances of winning - 80%
  • New Zealand’ chances of winning - 20%

India vs New Zealand Prediction & Tips 2026

Rohit Sharma has got off to great starts in both games thus far but have failed to convert those starts into big scores. Sharma was sensational in 2025 and we expect him to do well in the upcoming game.

Devon Conway looked in fine form at the start but lost his way in the last game and scored just 16 runs. Conway was sensational in the opening game as he scored a half century which makes us believe he will do well in the upcoming game.

India vs New Zealand Top Batters

Virat Kohli to be India’ top batter

Virat Kohli did not have a great outing in the last game but we expect him to bounce back as he was brilliant in the opening game and was the leading run scorer for his side in 2025 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Daryl Mitchell to be New Zealand’ top batter

Daryl Mitchell has been sublime in this series as he scored a half century in the opening game and then scored a century in the last game and took his team over the line which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

India vs New Zealand Top Bowlers

Kuldeep Yadav to be India’ top bowler

Kuldeep Yadav was expensive in the last game but we expect him to bounce back as he has been sensational at home for India and was also the leading wicket taker last year which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Kyle Jamieson to be New Zealand’ top bowler

Kyle Jamieson was the standout bowler for New Zealand in the opening game as he bagged four wickets, even though he struggled in the last game, we expect him to bounce back which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
