Yes, India won in Austalia and created some serious history and as a result, would be brimming high on confidence. Having said that, it's been almost 10 years that India has won an ODI series in New Zealand and Virat Kohli and his men would certainly be aiming at re-creating history all over again.

It's certainly not going to be easy though considering New Zealand have one of the best records at home post the 2015 World Cup and just like India, their top 3 could also put the world upside down- especially in home conditions. Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor are names any team could easily boast about.

On the other hand, the New Zealand cricket team has bowlers like Trent Boult and Tim Southe who have been there, done that and have all the experience in the world. There is no doubt that this is going to be the ODI series to watch out for between the number 2 and 3 ODI teams in the world.

While the Indian top 3 looks settled with Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli, it would be interesting to see if they continue to persist with Ambati Rayudu at number 4. Even if they do, what if he fails in the first 2 games? What will India do then? On the other hand, how much game time will Virat Kohli like to give Vijay Shankar will also be something interesting to watch out for. Khaleel Amhed and Mohammad Siraj would also be willing to leave an impression as soon as they can before the tickets to England are booked by the BCCI.

Last but not the least, let's hope captain Kohli keeps smiling like he has been recently and Mahendra Singh Dhoni continues to weave his magic as his fans would expect the captain to be more consistent owing to the fact that there is hardly any time left before the World Cup.

Meanwhile, this is all set up to be one of the most exciting series between 2 quality sides in World Cricket. India has a slight edge but the Kiwi's aren't really trailing behind either. Just like India, New Zealand too has all the armoury in their kitty as the action is all set to begin at Napier on the 23rd of January 2019. Cric Crak Radio promises to bring you the entire audio coverage of India's tour of New Zealand 2018-19

Ind vs NZ First ODI Napier: Winner

Considering this is India's first game of the tour, predicting a winner for this one is something quite difficult to do. Having said that, we still feel India will win but there is certainly not going to be one-way traffic. New Zealand might come hard at India and even if they do, that would not be surprising either.
