Preview
This match marks a clash between the top two teams in the ICC ODI rankings and replicates the Champions Trophy final. In previous years, an ODI series between India and New Zealand would have been highly anticipated on the international cricket calendar.
However, in today’s T20-focused cricket environment, such series struggle for prominence. With the Men’s T20 World Cup approaching, bilateral ODI series often hold similar weight to domestic performances when it comes to Test player selection globally. Despite this, India’s three-match ODI series against New Zealand, starting on Sunday, offers more than just fan enthusiasm about the Ro-Ko duo.
