Teams & Format
The two sides will battle across the One Day International format, with this seeing each team given a maximum of 50 overs (300 deliveries) to bat and 50 overs in the field.
The 50 over game is shorter than a Test match and longer than a Twenty20. This means you will get the tactical battle of a Test coupled with the need for quick runs, like in a T20. Expect to see big shots, tumbling wickets and moments of pure madness across the series.
The clash itself will see two of the best teams in the men's game battling. As the home side, India will be the favourites, but New Zealand should not be taken lightly. The travelling side have some of the best batters and bowlers in the game turning out for them. Meanwhile, India are arguably the best multi-formats side in the game, and they will be confident they can secure a series win on home soil.
Key Players
| Player (Team) | Importance |
|---|---|
| Virat Kohli (India) | As has so often been the case for India in recent years, Virat Kohli is one of their most important players. The veteran batter is still one of the best shot-makers in the game, and he will be hoping to edge towards the end of his career in style. |
| Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand) | Arguably New Zealand's best batter, Daryl Mitchell has been able to marry up consistency with fluent strokes that means where he is digging in or trying to go big, he is a nightmare for the opposition to remove. |
