IND vs NZ 1st ODI HIGHLIGHTS: Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj India's Heroes As Men In Blue Beat New Zealand By 12 Runs

IND vs NZ 1st ODI: Bracewell's outstanding hundred went in vain.

Background

Beating India at home is perhaps one of the toughest challenges in international cricket. While the Men in Blue's remarkable Test match record in home conditions is often given its due credit, the team has been as much if not more, threatening in their own backyard in the 50-overs format. A stat to prove just that is their enviable 22 out of 25 bilateral ODI series wins since 2010.

What that essentially means is that with the ODI World Cup happening in India itself, there is a reason why India will start as the favourites once again. New Zealand though, have spoiled India's plans in the ICC tournaments on several occasions in the recent past. Not only did they beat India in the semifinals of the ICC 2019 World Cup but they also handed a defeat to the Asian side in their group-stage face off of the T20 World Cup 2020.

Not to forget, the BlackCaps' triumph over India in the inaugural World Test Championship final. They would look to replicate just that in the ODI World Cup this year and this IND vs NZ series would be a perfect opportunity for them to strategise and plan with that objective in mind.

New Zealand vs India: 49.2 Overs / NZ- 337/10

Shardul Thakur to Michael Bracewell, OUT! LBW! What a delivery from Thakur! A yorker, angling on middle. Bracewell shuffles way too across to whip but misses and gets hit on the pads. That looked out but Bracewell had no option but to take it upstairs. No bat there. Ball tracking shows THREE REDS. A go-to delivery in the chase and India win this match by 12 runs.
