NZ vs IND Match Preview
New Zealand has a lot more in store than what we saw in the first match. At its best, New Zealand should be able to make things really difficult for the inexperienced Indian bowling attack. Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, and Tom Latham are the players to watch out for once more. At the same time, bowlers like Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry are bound to get just rewards for their efforts sooner than later.
India's batting is strong and we think you can look to pick most of its top order. We hope the loss in the previous match will urge them to play with a bit more aggression. Shubman Gill, SKY, and Shreyas Iyer are the players to watch out for.
We also think Sanju Samson is someone that can clear the boundaries and score rapidly at the end.
The bowling, though, is quite weak and could struggle once more.
Weather Report
There is a lot of rain forecast in Hamilton at the moment. We could have delays, a reduction in overs, or even a complete washout if luck is not on our side.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Seddon Park is generally fast, bouncy, and excellent for batting. The outfield is also large enough to allow the bowlers a fair chance in the game.
300-320 should be seen as par for the venue once more.
Notable stats
Hamilton Blues for India
India was bowled out for 92 in 2019 and scored 347 fir 4 in 2020 at this same venue. Both of those matches ended up in losses for the Indian team. It will be a challenge for them to come up trumps in this match as well.
Team News
We think both teams will end up playing more or less the same team. Maybe Kuldeep Yadav could get a game in place of Yuzvendra Chahal for this match but that would be out of character from what we have seen so far.

Dream11 Prediction
New Zealand has a great chance of winning once more thanks to its familiarity with the conditions, its superior batting lineup and brilliant bowling attack.
Top Picks
Shreyas Iyer - With five fifty-plus scores in his previous eight ODI innings and an exceptional record in New Zealand. Iyer is a great pick for your Dream11 team.
Kane Williamson - Williamson never took a risk and never seemed in trouble in the previous match. The 50-over format allows him to play with complete ease. Another big inning cannot be ruled out.
Matt Henry - We think Matt Henry bowled with fire but had no luck in the previous match. He challenged both edges and threatened to pick wickets all the time. This could be his game.
