New Zealand and India will end their five-match ODI series with the final game on Sunday at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. This match will start with India carrying a 2-1 lead, and the ‘Black Caps’ are likely to continue their winning momentum against the ‘Men in Blue’ with our match prediction backing a New Zealand win.
India won the first and second matches by five wickets and four runs, respectively, in rain-affected games. The third match was washed out, while a 244-run win on Thursday was a huge positive.
That victory was fashioned by a wonderful century from Will Young (125 off 108 balls), who had good partnerships with Tim Seifert (58) and Finn Allen (41). Young remains their only player to aggregate more than 100 runs in this series. With the ball, Matt Henry (6 for 27) was the star, while Matthew Fisher (3 for 31) did his bit. Both those seamers are likely to be crucial once again.
India took the field under Shreyas Iyer with their regular players leaving for Test practice. The top-order failures remain a concern, as Rohit Sharma has bagged two ducks in three innings and will be under the lens. The biggest talking point with the ball was Gurnoor Brar (nine wickets, ER 4.87), while Arshdeep Singh (five wickets) has also impressed.

Our New Zealand vs India Prediction
After narrow defeats in the first two matches and a washout in the third match, the Kiwis came to life in the fourth ODI. It was a completely contrasting performance from the two sides, with New Zealand posting 333 and India making just 89. That may not repeat, but the Black Caps are likely to be more confident than their visitors.
India endured a rollicking 244-run defeat here in the fourth ODI on Friday. With little time to turn things around, India may struggle again. Our New Zealand vs India prediction is New Zealand wins.
