Preview
In the 1st ODI match of the New Zealand tour of India 2026, India (IND) is set to face New Zealand (NZ). The New Zealand tour will begin with a three-match ODI series followed by a 5-T20I match series. The big good news for the Indian team will be that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are available in this series, who had also performed brilliantly against South Africa in the last ODI series. Apart from this, the team's vice-captain, Shreyas Iyer, has got clearance from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and is ready to play. India has recently performed brilliantly against New Zealand, hence they will be the favourites to win this series.
On the other hand, some, because some of New Zealand's senior players won't play in this series, might lag behind India. Whereas in the last five head-to-head matches against India, New Zealand has not won a single match. So, they will be under pressure to perform well.
