India vs New Zealand Chance of Winning

India were once again sensational in the last outing as once again their bowlers were brilliant on the day. India won the toss and opted to bowl first. They restricted New Zealand to mere 153 runs and managed to chase down the target in 10 overs. India won the game with eight wickets to spare.

Even though New Zealand headed into this series after a brilliant performance in the ODIs, they have struggled to make an impact as they have been battered by the home side in all three games thus far and would be hoping to turn things around. 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

Surya Kumar Yadav was excellent once again in the last game as she scored another half century. He has been brilliant in this series and has scored back to back half centuries which makes us believe he will do well in the upcoming game.

Rachin Ravindra did not have a great start to the series as he struggled for consistency thus far. In the last game he struggled with the new ball and scored just four runs which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

India vs New Zealand Top Batters

Abhishek Sharma to be India’ top batter

Abhishek Sharma was sublime once again in the last game and he scored a half century and took his team over the line. He has been the standout batter in this series which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Glenn Phillips to be New Zealand’ top batter

Glenn Phillips was the shining light in what was a dismal display by the New Zealand batters in the last game. He scored 48 runs and was the leading run scorer which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Varun Chakravarthy to be India’ top bowler

Varun Chakravarthy was rested in the last game but we expect him to return in the starting lineup as he has been excellent in this format and was brilliant in the first two games which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Jacob Duffy to be New Zealand’ top bowler

Jacob Duffy struggled to make an impact in the last outing regardless we are going to back him once again as he has been exceptional in the first two matches which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
