New Zealand vs India Match Prediction, 5th ODI – Who will win today’s match between NZ vs IND?

New Zealand (NZ) cross swords with India (IND) in the decisive fifth ODI at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday, November 15.

Mitchell Santner and Co. fought back commendably in the fourth ODI after losing the first two games. The Kiwis posted 333 in the first innings at the Bay Oval before dismissing India for 89. Will Young, Tim Seifert, and Matt Henry were the star performers for the Black Caps.

On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer took charge of the Indian ODI team after Shubman Gill joined the Test side. His first game in charge turned out to be a forgettable affair. He was one of the three batters dismissed in the first over. Shreyas and the rest of the Indian players will have to bounce back strongly if they want to win the series.

NZ vs IND: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Will Young

Will Young scored a magnificent century in the fourth ODI in testing conditions. He showed great technique when the ball was swinging around but didn't allow the pressure to build because he was rotating the strike well. The right-handed batter would want to continue from where he left off.

Probable Best Bowler: Jacob Duffy

Jacob Duffy will be the bowler to watch out for on Sunday. The right-arm seamer has picked up six wickets in two games at an economy rate of 6. While Matt Henry will not be available in this clash, Duffy could have the same kind of effect the 34-year-old had in the last game.
