NZ vs IND Match Prediction- Who will win today's match between New Zealand vs India?

New Zealand (NZ) and India (IND) will be locking horns in the second ODI at the Seddon Park in Hamilton on Sunday, November 27. The Kiwis will be pumped up heading into this fixture after an impressive seven-wicket win in the opening game at Auckland. A victory here would help the Kane Williamson-led side take an unassailable lead in the three-match series.

While the bowling looked a bit rusty in the first innings, an unbeaten 145 from Tom Latham, and a supporting 94* from skipper Williamson was instrumental in helping New Zealand get past the finishing line in the 48^th over.

India, on the other hand, showcased exceptional batting performances, but the bowling was just not up to the mark to defend a 300+ score on the day. With the series on the line, the visitors must now showcase a collective performance.

However, things will be tough for the Indian team as they have failed to defeat New Zealand in the last five ODI games dating back to the heartbreaking 2019 World Cup semifinal at Manchester’s Old Trafford.
