There is very little between these two sides. We give India a narrow edge, at 52% to win.

They also have the upper hand over New Zealand, winning 63 of the 115 meetings between the two sides that produced a result.

The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 270, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

NZ vs IND Pitch Report

Sky Stadium, Wellington

All eyes will be on the pitch at Sky Stadium once the covers come off.

Rain could have a say, with a 59% chance of showers during the match, so a revised target is a real possibility. Dew should be a factor under lights, which makes life harder for the side bowling second. Cloud cover and 92% humidity should give the seamers some swing early on. Whoever wins the toss should be tempted to field first.
