Following the ODI and T20I series which recently concluded in the Antipodean nation when India toured, the Kiwis will jet off to the Indian soil for a three-match ODI series followed by the same number of T20I matches. The series between the two giants is scheduled to commence on 18 January in 2023 which will conclude on February 1.
It is understood that skipper Kane Williamson and Head Coach Gary Stead will not be traveling to India with the aim to manage the workload of the players and the support staff. Due to the volume of cricket played, the Kiwis selectors decided to have split squad across the two formats in the mentioned India vs New Zealand Schedule. Therefore, the visitors will see Tom Latham leading the ODI squad in India in Williamson's absence.
The two sides last contested in a high-octane bilateral series in the Kiwi nation, wherein the New Zealand won the ODI series while India won the T20I series. In any case, as they take the field in January, it will be a clean slate and both sides will be pumped up to win matches. Speaking about their head-to-head records, the Men in Blue and the Kiwis have played each other in 22 matches wherein India have won 12 times having lost in nine occasions and one yielding no result. The Men in Blue will look to maintain the edge over the rival side with regards to the India vs New Zealand Stats in terms of the head-to-head.
New Zealand clinched the ODI series against India when the latter last toured to the Antipodean land, however, in the Indian soil, things will be different. Both sides will need to ideate plans accordingly before heading to the match and will also be keeping in mind the 2023 ODI World Cup while assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the side.
