Live streams of India vs New Zealand ODI series starts 2026 with a bang. The two best men’s 50-over teams in the world by ranking, the sides should serve up a veritable feast of six-hitting and fearsome bowling. You won’t miss a ball.
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 treated, so Michael Bracewell will once again captain the side, while Matt Henry is also rested and Kane Williamson absent with SA20 commitments to attend to. That means a chance for some fresh faces as uncapped bowling all-rounder Kristian Clarke, left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox and India-born leg-spinner Adithya Ashok all receive callups. Fast bowlers Kyle Jamieson and Zak Foulkes will provide dynamite.
A repeat of the Champions Trophy 2025 final – one of seven consecutive ODIs India have claimed victory over the Black Caps – the first match of the series is guaranteed to be a cracker.
