Live broadcasts of the India vs New Zealand ODI series will begin 2026 with a bang. The two best 50+ men’s teams in the world according to rankings, the teams are expected to serve up a veritable feast of fearsome six-hit bowling. You won’t want to miss a ball again.
New Zealand have also rested a number of players for the T20 leg or their limited-overs tour of India. Regular captain Mitchell Santner’s groin injury is being managed, so Michael Bracewell will once again skipper the side, while Matt Henry is also rested and Kane Williamson out with SA20 commitments to meet. This means a chance for new faces, with the likes of bowling all-rounder Kristian Clarke, uncapped bowler Jayden Lennox and Indian-origin leg-spinner Adithya Ashok all receiving call-ups. Fast bowlers Kyle Jamieson and Zak Foulkes will provide the dynamism.
A replay of the 2025 Champions Trophy final – one of the seven consecutive ODIs that India have won against the Black Caps – the 1st match of the series is sure to be a cracker.
