NZ is a DON at home.
4-1 to NZ

 

[Chokli]

4-1 to India

 

[YousafTheBeast]

5-0 nz
3-0 nz

 

[Mr.Q]

Won’t be easy at all with our tuk tuk middle order. Kohli doesn’t seem to be in good touch either. Rohit and Dhawan hold the key. The pitches and conditions in NZ suit their style of batting.

 

[Hitman]

Pakistan were whitewashed 0-5 last year. Let's see how good we perform. Same team, same conditions, same number of matches.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Without Bumrah and KulCha, bowling line up will get exposed.

Any way, All I want to see is Gill hit a hundred.

 

[Chokli]

Pakistan were whitewashed 0-5 last year. Let's see how good we perform. Same team, same conditions, same number of matches.

india should win

 

[Ab Fan]

NZ will do better at home. India will still be competitive.

3-2 NZ.

 

[ind_win]

I think this series is a good place for testing the positions and skills of new players like Gill and Shankar.
India desperately needs 1 power hitter at least.
And one strike rotator.

Hope Gill and Shankar fit the bill.

Also, I guess we can see 1/2 150+ scores in this series - mostly from the host team, NZ.

 

[ind_win]

NZ is a DON at home.
4-1 to NZ

India did not have good memories of NZ tour in the last 3-4 years I think.
So, I guess your prediction has a good chance to come true.

 

[ind_win]

NZ will do better at home. India will still be competitive.

3-2 NZ.

Fair prediction.

 

[Hasan123]

3-2 New Zeeland. They are very good in their own conditions. I can see NZ exposing India’s middle order.

 

[introvert]

3-2 to nz

 

[rhony]

NZ 3-2. India needs Bumrah and HP

 

[Snak3eye5]

India will loose as long as they carry old man Dhoni.

5-0 Nz
3-0 Nz

 

[Plumb]

Ind 3-2

 

[Mahee]

It's going to be a miserable tour for India...they will lose ODI series 1-4 T20 0-3

 

[Ami]

india to win both series

 

[BDfanforever]

3-2 to NZ. Dhoni wont be able to hide with his 65 SR in NZ.

I expect Guptil, Munro, and Taylor to give epic thrashings to brothers Siraj and Khaleel. I also expect Bumrah and Rohit to ensure Ind still stays competitive.

 

[The Viper]

NZ to win 3-2. Formidable side at home. Taylor is in insane form and their bowling will trouble India.

 

[leatherface58]

3-2 to NZ. Dhoni wont be able to hide with his 65 SR in NZ.

I expect Guptil, Munro, and Taylor to give epic thrashings to brothers Siraj and Khaleel. I also expect Bumrah and Rohit to ensure Ind still stays competitive.

Bumrah isn't playing.

 

[aloo paratha]

NZ 3-2 in the ODIs, Ind will edge out the T20s 2-1.

Trent Boult and Bumrah to both have 10+ wickets in the ODI series. 2 Kohli hundreds, 1 for Kane, 2 for Ross Taylor

 

[fitCricFan]

3-2 and 2-1 to either side. VK & team will have to work much harder and the grueling AUS tour won't help. The Kiwis are much more competitive at home. Look forward to some good cricket (sorry only watch the highlights)

 

[pratiktc]

Rohit to go bonkers in one match and win it for India, and NZ may collapse/try out new players to lose another.
Overall comfortable 3-2 victory to NZ with Boult, Latham and Sodhi playing key roles in dominating India with new ball and in middle phase of either inns

 

[PakLFC]

NZ will win the one dayers 4-1. India the T20's 3-0.

 

[latecut]

My prediction is that India will win both series. Then people would say that New Zealand was a weak team because they were without their best players viz Macculum, Richard Hadlee etc.

 

[rhony]

Rohit to go bonkers in one match and win it for India, and NZ may collapse/try out new players to lose another.
Overall comfortable 3-2 victory to NZ with Boult, Latham and Sodhi playing key roles in dominating India with new ball and in middle phase of either inns

Sodhi? He will be smashed. Boult vs Rohit match up will be interesting. Rohit made a few adjustments after Amir exposed his technique.
Dhoni can clear those pocket sized boundaries with ease. Kohli wants him at 5 so it's interesting to see who bats at 4. Rayudu is a useless investment and if they didn't learn from their mistake in AUS, they will suffer in NZ. Crucial series for Dhawan as he needs to get back to scoring.

 

[munaf4u]

India winning ODI 3-2 and T20 2-1

 

[hadi123]

Let's not forget NZ lost at home to England 3-2 so they are beatable against good teams. Will be a close series

 

[TheNeutralist]

NZ are favorites. India may come close but NZ to win both series

 

[Gabbar Singh]

India's top 6 today was:

Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Rayudu, Jhadav and Dhoni - all of them average 45 or more.

Anyone know if this has happened before in odis?

 

[BaankeJi]

NZ are favorites. India may come close but NZ to win both series

You still think so?

 

[Mp812]

India B team (regulars pandya and bumrah missing) win first match with ease.

Soon from third match India C team (kohli,bumrah,pandya missing) will play NZ team .

 

[gazza619]

Beating NZ at home is not a joke. India won the first game with ease but I am expecting black caps to come back strong and win ODIs 3-2 and T20s 2-1.

 

[Hyperion66]

Rohit alone will win us a couple of games. Our bowlers are bound to have an off day once in a while and without Kohli it will be nigh impossible for the grandpas occupying our middle order to save the game. Still we should win the ODIs 3-2, don't care much about t20s.

 

[GrandMaster]

ODI - 4-1 to India.
T20 - 3-0 to India (Just because Rohit will be leading the team).

Kohli not playing the last two ODIs & T20s is a blessing in disguise.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit sharma as a captain gives me more confidence.

 

[rhony]

Kohli being out for 2 games is a blessing for Rayudu. He will play irrespective of how he does in the next 2 games. He will play irrespective of being caught and couldn't time a single ball in his 22 ball stay. DK will play for Kohli. It's significant that Rahul will go back to play for the A team. Gill might get a game only if Rayudu is dropped.

If not for him not being able to middle any of the single ball he faced, if not for his chucking action atleast for his horrible fumbling on the field he should be kicked out.

 

[Chokli]

i remember the days when tendulkar, sehwag, laxman, dravid, ganguly used to be the grandpas of the line up

 

[Hyperion66]

i remember the days when tendulkar, sehwag, laxman, dravid, ganguly used to be the grandpas of the line up

Subcontinent legends and there obsession with occupying space even after the expiry date

I remember the days when Afridi used to announce retirement twice every year

 

[giri26]

New Zealand will make a comeback but I expect India to take it 3-2, even if they miss Kohli for the latter part of the series.

 

[TheNeutralist]

You still think so?

First match was totally one sided, the next match will make things clear. If NZ batting clicks they would score more runs and put pressure on India's top order.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

5-0 India.
3-0 India

 

[BaankeJi]

5-0 India.
3-0 India

that is overboard. NZ can still win both.

 

[QalandarFan]

India will smack them, hope it’s a good match this time though.
