IND vs NZ, 1st ODI, Cricket Tips: Team India will be in action on Sunday as they lock horns with New Zealand in the first of the three-match ODI series. This contest is slated to be held at BCA Stadium in Vadodara on January 11, Sunday. Shubman Gill missed the last series due to injury, but he is fit to lead India.

Shreyas Iyer is also back after recovering from injury. But it will be about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who will look to carry their good form and play significant innings.

New Zealand have rested 5-6 regular players and given a chance to their bench strength. So, it is likely to be an easy game for the hosts, as they have got all their aces ready to fire.

IND vs NZ: Ground Pitch Report

BCA Stadium has not hosted a men's international match yet. So, this will be a historic event. The wicket here is expected to be favoring the batters more. But just like typical Indian wickets, the spinners will come into play in the lateral stages of the game. But it is a good venue to chase.

IND vs NZ: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Virat Kohli is in red-hot form and has scored two hundreds and two fifties in the last four ODIs. For New Zealand, Devon Conway has been scoring runs in recent international outings.

Probable Best Bowler

Kuldeep Yadav picked up nine wickets in just three ODIs against South Africa and is in good form. For New Zealand, the role of Kyle Jamieson will be important, as he is aware of these pitches and can extract good bounce with his height.
