New Zealand can no longer win the five-match ODI series against India but will look to win the fourth match on Tuesday at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. This match between the ‘Black Caps’ and the ‘Men in Blue’ sees the visitors carry a 2-0 lead, but our match prediction backs a home win against the current odds.
India won the first ODI by five wickets in a match that was reduced to 32 overs because of rain. The second ODI was also affected by rain, and India won by four runs via the DLS method.
The hosts struggled with the bat under seaming conditions in both matches, batting first. Scores of 185 and 134 all out underline their struggles, with only one batsman scoring an individual fifty in the series. The bowlers have done their bit in the chases, though, with Jacob Duffy (six wickets, ER 6.00) leading the way, while Kyle Jamieson chipped in with four wickets (ER 4.05).
Virat Kohli’s 74 led India’s charge in the first ODI, while they narrowly edged the second match. Shreyas Iyer will lead India here, with three players leaving the squad and joining the Test team preparations. The Indian quicks have impressed in the series, with Gurnoor Brar (seven wickets, ER 3.82) showing the virtues of pace, while Anshul Kamboj got four wickets.

Our New Zealand vs India Prediction
After the third match has been abandoned without a ball being bowled, the Kiwis can at best level the series 2-2. Both the matches so far have been decided at the toss, as the hosts struggled in seaming conditions. With most of the Indian team regulars out of this match, this could be New Zealand’s chance to make a comeback.
Much like the T20I series, the two ODIs have been decided by key moments. The ‘Black Caps’ are likely to fancy their chances of a revival here, so our New Zealand vs India prediction is New Zealand wins.
