India vs New Zealand Toss Prediction:
A total of 6 ODIs have been played at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium where the team batting first and the chasing team both have won 3-3 games
According to our experienced cricket experts, New Zealand is more likely to win the toss and elect to bat first.
Pitch Report:
The pitch at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium is going to be flat and the last international match at the venue indicates that there are batting friendly conditions as more than 350 runs were scored in the previous clash. The pitch tends to get slower as the game progresses to the second half. This means that there will be some sort of help for the spinners.
Weather Report:
According to the weather forecast for January 18, the day will start out nice and warm in the midday hours before becoming a little colder in the evening, with a high temperature of 31°C dropping to a low of 22°C at playtime. There is no chance of rain, fans can enjoy an uninterrupted battle.
- Temperature: 31°C to 17°C

India Probable Playing XI
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, S Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Umran Malik, M Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal
New Zealand Probable Playing XI
Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, T Latham (C), Mitchell Santner, Henry Shipley, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner, Lockie Ferguson
Conclusion:
