NZ vs IND Dream11 Prediction, 1st t20I: New Zealand vs India Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI, Pitch Report, Player Records/Stats, Injury and Match Updates.

NZ vs IND: New Zealand will lock horns against India in the 1st ODI of the India tour of New Zealand, 2022 on Friday, November 18, 2022, at Sky Stadium, Wellington.

Both teams recently were knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2022 in the semi-final stages following their terrific run in the Super 12 stage. While India was thumped by England, the Kiwis were outfoxed by Pakistan’s all-around show.

However, with a new series up, both teams will be looking to put the disappointment of the T20 World Cup behind them and build a formidable unit, especially with the young ones, keeping the T20 World Cup 2024 in mind.

While India will miss their regulars in the team with Hardik Pandya taking over the reins, the Black Caps will be without the services of their premier pacer Trent Boult and experienced batter Martin Guptill.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 1st ODI of the India tour of New Zealand, 2022.
