NZ vs IND 5th ODI Prediction, Match Preview And Playing XIs

NZ vs IND 5th ODI, Cricket Tips: New Zealand thumped India in the fourth ODI by a record margin of 244 runs. Will Young scored an excellent century, and Matt Henry recorded his best bowling figure. Henry dismissed Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shreyas Iyer in the very first over to put India on the back foot.

India couldn't recover from there on and were bundled out for just 89 runs. It was a horrible start to Iyer's ODI captaincy tenure. Now, India need a win to seal the series. The final ODI will be played at Bay Oval on Saturday, starting at 7:30 AM IST.
