Comparatively, the New Zealand team players are not able to perform well in bowling, if the New Zealand team loses this match then it will be because of their poor bowling performance. The Indian team is performing more aggressively in batting than in bowling. At this time, Virat Kohli has almost reached the century stage, if he can score a few runs, the century will be complete.
Virat Kohli scored 91 runs in 88 balls, he has scored the highest runs in today's match. The Indian team can ensure victory in today's match because they have controlled the wicket.

Where the heck did this India vs New Zealand series come from? It just suddenly popped up on my feed today which surprised me. Seems like the usual, boring ODI series to me while the ongoing WPL season seems far more interesting in comparison.

Anyway, coming to this match specifically, it looks like India should win pretty comfortably considering the below par target. Good to see RoKo back in action.

I also didn't notice any hype for this bilateral, usually there is buzz when they announce squads but seriously didn't notice much. Did notice T-30 squad announcement tho.

First inning average score is 280-ish so above par, still they look 20-30 runs short considering dew factor will play some part in the 2nd innings.

India is scoring at very health run rate and got wickets in hand. Kohli missed a ton which is unfortunate but good to see some kind of blowback for that Kiwis did to us last year.

Edit Jaddu gone with a chip shot, are we going to make this match more interesting than it should be.

As of now 62 needed from 60 balls with 6 wickets in hand.

Jamieson fired, Shreyas out, 5 gone. India is under a lot of pressure at the moment, especially after Virat Kohli missed a century, and it is very likely that India will go on the back foot. Now the pressure will be on KL Rahul and India will have to score 59 more runs in this match with five wickets in hand but there is no guarantee of all these wickets. That means if disaster strikes, it will be difficult for India to win.

Was watching for Kohli's ton and switched off the telly when he got out. Now just keeping a tab on scorecard and there seems to be mini collapse.

Interesting, Harshit rana ahead of washi. Gambhir ishe all rounder bana ke chorega, no matter what lol

After mini collapse again match back in control of Team India if Gambhir is trying his best for Harshit Rana to be as all-rounder, he is also giving his best this six was good for changing match momentum.

24 balls 26 runs required 5 wickets in hand, but match was good exciting because both teams done good job without Jasprit Bumrah Indian bowling trying to give their best this is good for them Kyle Jamieson done good job but alone he was not enough for having good for defending this total.

Edit: After hitting four on first ball Harshit gone first wicket for Kristian Clarke, twist in game or simple for India? Interesting!

New Zealand team had a good batting performance today but unfortunately they lost. New Zealand had a huge target of 300 runs against India, although the Indian players were under a lot of pressure. However, due to their sufficient wickets, India was able to achieve a great victory by four wickets in this match today. The batting performance of Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill was the best, because of these two, India was able to win in this match with one over in hand. However, the Indian team has now won one match against New Zealand in the ODI series and has moved forward. They will try to play well in the next match. Moreover, India has the highest chance of winning the series compared to New Zealand in this ODI series.

Wow, good to see the Indian top order in full form. Look at the scorecard and you will see that the its the top four batsmen that took the responsibility to chase this big total and they did it in style.

Virat Kohli made 93 runs and was the player of the match. He played almost run a ball innings and he really deserve to get his 100, but failed by just seven runs. He tried to hit a big shot but unfortunately for him Bracewell took a beauty and he was dismissed.

Yes, It was a really enjoyable game between India and New Zealand. Best game planam and aggressive batting in today match from the side of India. Virat Kholi played very classical inning while chasing the target. He was in good touch and contributed 93 runs in total and the target was 301 runs. Target seems to be strong but in realtime its not easy to chase. But Indian batters played well and was in good form and Shubman and Iyar also played well with half centuries. New Zealand played well from the batting side but show low quality bowling which turns the game in the  favor of India.New Zealand don't utilized there bowling line up properly thats why India won the match

Somehow managed to win with one over to spare, KL Rahul is fitting in the finishing role too but how long he can do that especially when required rate is over 8 or something like that. And about Rana over Washi it is due to the Washi had some kind of injury in the hip that is why Rana came to bat and surprisingly he did more than good at that time.

India International cricket team chased the target very easily and we saw top class performance by Virat kohli because he made 93 runs in this match . Shreyas Iyer could not make half century in this match because he was close to half century and was bowled by Kyle Jamieson . KL Rahul absorbed thrle pressure of the match because he made partnership with harshit Rana and we saw good rhythm of India team and now they are leading in this series . Indian International team is playing in their home ground and that is reason they have no pressure abd will try to white wash New Zealand cricket team but New Zealand cricket team is very strong team and they will try to win next two matches.

New Zealand's early players played well, they applied such wonderful moves that helped New Zealand later in setting a huge target of 300. Their middle order player Daryl Mitchell played so amazingly while the other ones were trying to have that momentum, but failed, but still at the same time, they have a huge impact on the team's total.

Daryl Mitchell was playing fast, and that time this was exactly what the team needed. Also, Henry Nicholls played a long innings, but not much power hitting, similar to Devon Conway.

The first match of the first ODI series between India and New Zealand will be played today, and there is a high possibility of a good and exciting game between these two teams. However, we know that India is much stronger than New Zealand, they perform well in ODI matches. However, if the New Zealand team can build its performance strongly, then it will definitely be possible to defeat the Indian team. But if India's performance in ODI matches is very strong, then the Indian players will perform at their best to defeat the New Zealand team. The players in the Indian XI really perform very well in batting and bowling. However, the team that plays well in the ODI series matches will come close to winning, so I think today's match will be a tense battle between the two teams.

In the first ODI match Indian team played very well. First 4 players batted outstanding. They are experienced and old players. Virat kohli played fantastic, similarly Rohit sharma shubman gill played good batting. If we talk about bowling line they bowled satisfied bowling. I think they should keep opponent team round about 250 to 270 runs. Since other team has own strength they tried to get victory but due to some drawbacks they faced the defeat and lost the 1st match. Nz bowler Adithya Ashok proved harmful for his team. He gave 73 run to team and took only 1 wicket in 10 over. The bowling side looked weak today. Also other bowlers couldn't good participate for the match winning. Due to this reason they couldn't succeed to win the match.

After checking Virat Kohli's score in this match today, it seemed that he has returned to his young age and is doing the same great performance again. However, this lion of India has not completely aged yet, he actually showed it in today's match by scoring 93 runs off 91 balls. However, I will also mention Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, they also did good batting performance and at the same time KL Rahul was able to win the match with a great finish for the Indian team.

India beat New Zealand in exciting match in Vadodara, India last night by 4 wickets and took 1-0 lead in series. Man of the night was Virat Kohli who made 93 runs and was first to hit 28,000 international runs in shortest amount of time, passing Sachin Tendulkar. Even though Shubman Gill and Kohli placed India in better position, game got tight when four fast wickets were taken by New Zealand player, Kyle Jamieson. But KL Rahul remained cool enough to complete game, and young player, Harshit Rana, helped him in game with both ball and bat. India managed to chase score of 300 runs by New Zealand only with six balls remaining and it is great result of team strength of upcoming match in Rajkot.

India is taking on England in the under 19 World Cup warm up match today. Both these teams won their initial matches and therefore this is going to be an interesting match.

India under 19s team chose to bat first and they are surviving good as of now. They have lost four wickets and made 169 runs. With 19 overs still to go, the chances are that they may take this score to a reasonable target. However for that to happen they do not need to lose more wickets quickly. Infact both Abhigyan Kundu and RS Ambrish are batting in thier 40s. They have done the hard work and now need to take their team to a position where they feel comfortable.

It's good to see Rohit, Kohli back in form and scored a tons of vital runs at crucial moments to seek thier revenge of previous whitewash series defeat Back at November 2024 at Indian backyard. It's true Kohli always took stand and played a huge role at vital pressure mounting situation matches where his team struggle to overcome opponent bowling variation, unfortunately he missed his century but his innings really put his team out of danger, although team collapse as soon as partnership broke but some how tail under get through the target and got lead at series.

This current game between India Under-19 and England Under-19 teams is famous event today since both of them are leading players in World Cup that starts this week. Best player was Abhigyan Kundu who played key role with 82 runs to hold team up, and RS Ambrish was also close to achieving his half century mark with 48 runs. Their 50 overs ended with good score of 295/8, and they show much of strength against very neat English bowling attack of Manny Lumsden and Sebastian Morgan. Personally I feel that although India did not handle extra bounce of field so well overall result of more than 280 provides the spinners of India with real chance to make second half very difficult for England.

Virat Kohli is completely back in the form. He has performed well in the last few matches too. It proves his time hasn't finished yet. I hope he will be able to maintain his form like this and play the ODI world cup of 2027. We have seen a great performance from Indian batsmen in the first match, they chased the target of 301 runs without any difficulties. India is completely favourite to win the next match.

Interesting, Harshit rana ahead of washi. Gambhir ishe all rounder bana ke chorega, no matter what lol

And about Rana over Washi it is due to the Washi had some kind of injury in the hip that is why Rana came to bat and surprisingly he did more than good at that time.

I trust him as WK batter in middle order but as a finisher, not sure because this talented guy is depression king and you never know when he's out of confidence.

Washi and his injuries, made for each other. Gill also looks ginger nowadays with his back spasm and cramps in every outing.

[Haunebu]

Washi and his injuries, made for each other. Gill also looks ginger nowadays with his back spasm and cramps in every outing.

Shreyas is probably the king in the injuries department sadly these days. Dude caught an epic catch and got hurt pretty badly, but recovered like a beast and returned like it was nothing at all. I really, really hope he stays fine and suffers way lower injuries going forward.

On the other hand, big respect for Sundar to play like that even when having some back issue.
