India Vs New Zealand, 1st ODI Cricket Live Match

India play New Zealand in the first ODI at Nehru Stadium, Guwahati test. This is part of the five-match series after the Test series was won by India 1-0.India won the previous series against New Zealand in New Zealand 3-1 and never lost a home ODI series for the Kiwis. However, I must say that the New Zealand side has been the Indian often narrow and with a young team going to India, things could get interesting.


India and New Zealand are some of their big names, and both have performed well recently ODI, which is holding a contest.Indian team to take the stage for the first ODI series against New Zealand will be very different from that which won the test match, without any of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman present.

Also missing in the first election in India ODI Once you Shewaga, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan, but remains to be seen whether the captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has recovered from a finger injury that hampered his custody during the third test. Gambhir lead the team and needs to score runs with Raina.

But all eyes will be on hard hitter Yusuf Pathan who returns after scoring some points if internal and stable AC click on the middle and lower for R Ashwin has done very well in the IPL games and CLt20.While New Zealand also like India, presented a relatively young, the new look side for the series.

Absent from class are unconditional Daniel Vettori and Brendon McCullum, who both paternity leave for New Zealand cricket, while Jesse Ryder has not yet recovered, either from his injury or his propensity to get into trouble drunk. After decent results in the test series.

New Zealand is ready for limited series. Back to Scott Styris, Daryl Tuffey and Kami How to stimulate their morale they need good contributions from Ross Taylor in the absence of Jesse Ryder.
