The India vs New Zealand ODI series live streams will start off 2026 with a bang. The top two men's 50-over teams in the world by ranking, the sides should serve up a veritable feast of six-hitting and fearsome bowling. You won't want to miss a ball.
India won the 1st ODI in the three-match series, with a narrow four-wicket victory in Vadodara sealed only in the penultimate over.
It had seemed as if the home side would ease to victory but the boys in blue stumbled after Virat Kohli fell for 93 and had to rely on KL Rahul's unbeaten 29 from 21 balls to see them over the line. Kyle Jamieson's figures of 4-41, including the wicket of Kohli, led the way for the Black Caps but debutant seamer Kristian Clarke and leg-spinner Adi Ashok struggled with the ball after Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls had put on a century stand for the opening wicket and Daryl Matchell hit a fine 83 to post 300.
Batter Nick Kelly, all-rounder Josh Clarkson and uncapped bowling duo Michael Rae and Jayden Lennox may come into the mix for the Kiwis for Wednesday's 2nd ODI. For India, Washington Sundar is a confirmed absentee through injury and will be replaced by Ayush Badoni.
India have now won the last eight encounters between the sides, as New Zealand seek revenge in the 2nd match of the series is guaranteed to be a cracker.

What is the India vs New Zealand ODI series preview?
Indian fans were delighted with the news that captain Shubman Gill has recovered from the neck spasm that meant he missed the recent South Africa series and will resume leadership duties. The skipper is joined by vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, who hasn't played a competitive fixture since October after picking up a spleen injury on the tour of Australia and experienced pair Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Top fast bowler Mohammed Siraj also returns after sitting out Australia, but Hardik Pandya gets a rest to manage his workload before the upcoming T20 World Cup.
New Zealand have also rested a number of players for the T20 leg or their limited-overs tour of India. Regular captain Mitchell Santner's groin injury is being managed, so Michael Bracewell will again skipper the side, while Matt Henry is also rested and Kane Williamson absent with SA20 commitments to attend to. That means a chance for some fresh faces, as uncapped bowling-allrounder Kristian Clarke, left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox and India-born leg spinner Adithya Ashok all receiving callups. Fast bowlers Kyle Jamieson and Zak Foulkes will provide the dynamite.
What are the squads for the India vs New Zealand ODI series?
India: Shubman Gill (c), Shreyas Iyer (vc), Ravindra Jadeja, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Prasidh Krishna, Rishabh Pant (wk), KL Rahul (wk), Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Rohit Sharma, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav
New Zealand: Michael Bracewell (c), Adithya Ashok, Kris Clarke, Josh Clarkson, Devon Conway, Zak Foulkes, Mitch Hay (wk), Kyle Jamieson, Nick Kelly, Jayden Lennox, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips, Michael Rae, Will Young
