New Zealand and India will lock horns in the second of their five-match ODI series in Wellington on Saturday morning. The Men in Blue secured a commanding victory in the first match, and our prediction is that they will take a 2-0 lead in the series this weekend.
New Zealand will be hoping to level the series this weekend after seeing their batting order crumble to 185 all out in 40.2 overs in a rain-affected opener at Eden Park in midweek.
Tim Seifert top-scored for the Black Caps with 38 runs from 43 deliveries. Jacob Duffy was the standout performer, picking up three wickets for 49 runs, but their paltry total was always going to be tough to defend.
New Zealand have now split their last 10 ODIs, five wins and five losses since their final ODI in India in mid-January.
Meanwhile, the victory at Eden Park would have been particularly satisfying for India after their shocking series defeat to NZ at the start of the year. They won the match by five wickets and with 56 balls to spare.
Virat Kohli returned to the Indian team and produced a stunning knock, scoring 74 runs off just 51 balls. Arshdeep Singh (4/70), Gurnoor Brar (3/44) and Anshul Kamboj (2/22) shared the wickets.
India have now won seven of their last 10 ODIs and eight of their last 10 in the 50-over format against this opponent.

Our New Zealand vs India Prediction
New Zealand would have been hoping to carry their form from the final two T20is into the 50-over format, but they completely collapsed on Wednesday, and there were very few positives to take from their performance.
In contrast, India controlled the first ODI from the very first over, and with Kohli looking in great nick, and their pace attack firing on all cylinders, we fancy the Men in Blue to take a 2-0 lead in this match. Our New Zealand vs India prediction is India wins.
