India vs New Zealand Chance of Winning

India head into this series after what was a disappointing performance in the ODI format against New Zealand who have dominated the ODIs in the last 12 months. Now both sides face off in the T20 format which would be the final series before the World Cup for both sides. India would be hoping to bounce back in this series.

New Zealand headed into this series after one of the best series win for the visitors who have struggled against India in ODI format. Even though New Zealand have struggled for consistency in the T20 format, we expect them to be competitive. As per our calculations, India are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • India’ chances of winning - 73%
  • New Zealand’ chances of winning - 27%

India vs New Zealand Prediction & Tips 2026

Surya Kumar Yadav head into this series struggling to make an impact in the last 12 months. His form has been a cause of concern 218 runs with an average of 13.62 which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Rachin Ravindra has been solid for New Zealand in T20 format as he has scored 309 runs with an average of 30.90 and we expect him to do well once again and to score high in the upcoming game.
