Till now India has only won 1 series so far in NZ, both teams are coming with good form and looking to do finishing touch to their WC squad.
Predictions??

Ross Taylor’s stats post WC

Amazing comeback after him having issues with his eyes and having a poor run in 2014.
NZ got some exciting quicks. Should be a good series on good batting decks!
-
This should be an exciting series, ground dimensions in New Zealand are fairly similar to India eg generally on the smaller side. New Zealand will fancy getting into that Indian middle order, especially with Ferguson's extra pace. Hoping for a thrilling high scoring series and the hosts probably edge it 3-2.
-
Hoping for a more competitive series than the one India has juys played in Autralia. As ever, NZ do a phenomenal job to get put a strong side despite a very small playing pool
-
Recent Home and Away form of both the teams is good but with home advantage NZ should be hoping to win the series.
-
Looking forward to it
Be good to see NZ tested at home but also India tested against a strong home side and both in form
-
I think it ll be 3-2 NZ win.
-
I think it will be close unless Kohli wins it for the Indians. With Kane and Ross Taylor in the side we have a much better batting line up than Australia currently. Throw into that Guptil (Hit and miss) and a couple of other decent players it should be a great series. Hoping our bowlers do the business and put pressure on the class Indian top order.

Counting out R.Sharma and S.Dhawan ?? NZ needs to score good runs and then exploit middle and lower middle order of India.
Last 3 innings from Dhoni does not convince me he is at his prime and can thke team home when the target is 300 or more and when asking rate is 8 and plus.

I did say the class Indian Top order.
-
If the ball swings, then the two openers can be counted out :D
-
What an extremely poor batting display from NZ. Totally destroyed by spin
-
Mohammed Shami has all the tools to become a great bowlers, his ODI is fantastic considering home conditions are generally heavily batting friendly. One day it's goinggoing fall into place for him in Tests as well and he'll shred sides

Judging by your past predictions this means Shami will go at 8 per over and wicketless for the forseeable future
-
Very poor from NZ, they never had any momentum in their batting.
It was not a 160 AO wicket and noway it was that bad that a batting side like them score the run at such a low rate, the batters never asserted any pressure on the Indian bowling.
Good news for NZ V.Kolhi will be returning back to India after 3rd match and will not be a part of T20I series.
-
Well that was embarrassing. Clear that our boys were intimidated by Indian side and played like pussies. Even Kane was lucky not to be out a few times.
I'm sure they will be much better in the next game on Saturday.
-
Match 2- NZ have to come up with better plan against the 2 spinners, cannot be so passive during that phase of the innings.
Either they need to bat first and get a huge total so that they can put some pressure on India's top 3 so that they bog down to that pressure or to ask Ind to bat first and be ready to chase any thing with 2 spinners bowling in 2nd innings.
-
India hammer the hosts in the second match. The tourists piled up 324 and the hosts fell apart to spin again falling to 234 all out.
-
Was an extremely poor performance again from NZ. Bowlers continuously carried on bowling short and conceding boundaries
The only positive is they’ve kept Kohli under wraps #clutching on straws.
-
Playing India in ODI's if you don't play Kuldeep and Chalal well in the middle overs you have no chance whatsoever.
-

So a normal odi type monster score and fail well short then. Won’t waste time watching the recording
-
India was set to get almost 350+ easily until they lost their way. Recovered a bit in end but this score was chasable on that ground.
Guptill and Munro look really out of form. Guptill got a couple of chances as well.
-
I apologise again. We were woeful and didn't learn anything from the first game.
-
India's bowling attack seems to have most bases covered at present, considering their superstar Bumrah's not even in the squad. That said I don't think this Shankar fellow is gonna be troubling too many batsmen at international level
-
NZ hammered again. Bowled out for a below par total again.
Just not good enough with the bat and India cruised. Not sure about picking another all rounder with bracewell, doesn't do anything with the ball.
Seems to be too many bits and pieces all rounders - Neesham, CdG, Cory, Bracewell etc.

Pandya will take up that spot, so I would say India is covered on that front as well.

Poor batting by NZ in all 3 matches, none of the top order batter looked to stay on the wicket and fight it out.
NZ team were unable to score 250 in any of the 3 matches and lost all their 30 wkts, they should have tried to play old style cricket by taking single and doubles with an odd 4 or 6 if they were having problems with the 2 spinners.
But a very good over all show by Ind team, they never let the the NZ batters score freely and always had them under pressure and got quick early wkts and batting looked good.
There is still some concerns with their batting not able to give a push to potential score or even scoring at a good pace after top 3 are out. In match 2 they scored only 2 boundaries from over 40-45, it was not until A.Raydu got out and K Jadhav got in when they started scoring at a higher pace.
-
Whoa! Didn't expect Ind to do 3 on 3 in NZ. Poor batting by NZ really. Failed not just against spinners but against pacers as well which is surprising.
-
New Zealand hammered India in the fourth ODI. The tourists bowled out for 92, a rampant Trent Boult with a Michelle - his fifth in ODIs. Kiwis chased it down without much problem.
India looked human in the absence of Kohli and Dhoni - some 21,000 ODI runs. Shubman Gill made his debut but nothing to write home about.
India's middle order is a weakness. Rayudu and Karthik aren't very good. Jadhav should be only at 6.
-
Very happy that India lost so badly today. This should be a wake up call regarding the middle order. Both Rayudu and Karthik are past their prime and we stand no chance if and when the top order collapses.
-
About time we saw some swing in an ODI! even Colin DeG had it going. India all at sea
-
Match -4 was an example that shows why these modern batters have bloated averages of over 50 in ODI, with no seam and swing or testing conditions its too easy to score big runs at higher rate with more consistency.
Good cricket by NZ and Ind have to sort out their middle order, it looks too thin when top 3 does not perform. Cannot recollect any 100 from Ind middle order when top 3 got out cheaply.
-
Think Kohli would've averaged 50 in any era tbh. Different level is that boy
-
Bit of movement and all at sea.. not surprising really watching some of these bat.. flat track hitters whomget over rated.
Same with all nations though really sadly so everyone just ignores failure and hypes up the game someone comes off
-
NZ Vs Ind -T20I-
With no V.Kolhi for T20Is Indian top 2 have make sure they get good/ big runs else it will be hard to them come close to a good T20 NZ side.
NZ have great chance to exploit the Ind batting without V.kolhi, need to get only top 2 and rest will follow like the match #4 and #5.
even though A.Rayudu got 90+ score he never looked good on the crease, had luck on his side. In T20 NZ batter should have clear mind while playing the 2 spinner and look to score runs in place of saving wkt for later overs.
-
Very odd series, all the games have been pretty much one sided. Haven't seen much of a close context - hoping the last game is
NZ have some talent in the pace department right now - Ferguson cranking it up to 152kph, henry around 145, Kuggeleijn up at 145 too
Seifert was destructive in the first game with the bat, reminded me of Baz.
