New Zealand and India open their five-match ODI series at Eden Park in Auckland on Wednesday, November 4. India enter the series after winning the T20I contest 3-2, while the hosts will be led by Mitchell Santner in all five matches.
Shubman Gill will captain India for the first three ODIs, with Shreyas Iyer taking over for the final two. The squads have been split across the series as both teams rotate players ahead of a two-match Test series. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are included in both Indian squads.
New Zealand will be without Devon Conway for the opening match after he sustained a concussion in a training-ground collision with Matt Henry. Tim Seifert has been called up in his place, while Henry’s availability is uncertain. Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips are among the batters named for the first three games.
The opening match is scheduled to start at 2am GMT. The remaining fixtures are November 7 in Wellington, November 10 in Hamilton, and November 13 and 15 at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui; all are listed for 2am BST.
Broadcast options vary by country. In the United States, the series is available on Willow TV, including through Sling TV, while Fubo is listed as offering the first ODI with a free trial. UK coverage is on TNT Sports, and viewers in India can watch on Sony Sports Network or stream through Sony LIV. In Australia, coverage is on Fox Cricket via Foxtel and on Kayo Sports; in New Zealand, it is available through Sky Sport NZ and Sky Sport Now.
India’s record in ODIs against New Zealand stands at 14 wins and 26 losses from 45 matches, according to the source. India’s most recent ODI win in New Zealand was in February 2019.
