Fantasy Cricket Tips, New Zealand vs India, 1st ODI: After a rather one-sided T20I series as the scoreline would suggest, India and New Zealand will lock horns in a three-match ODI series starting February 5. While the visitors haven’t put a foot wrong on their tour so far, the Kiwis will hope to make amends and put a great show in the ODI series.

BlackCaps will fancy a change in their arsenal in their ODI squad that will take on the Indian line up in the upcoming three matches. It will definitely be an uphill task for the home team to overcome the T20I scars and challenge the Indians in the ODI series.

Weather Conditions:

The weather might have a role to play in the first ODI. The conditions are expected to be cloudy but there are no chances of rain in the entire day. As the match goes on, the temperature might drop down even below 10 degrees during the night.

Total ODIs played: 36

Matches won batting first: 11
