India vs New Zealand 1st ODI Live Score, TV Channel
Today, cricket fans can enjoy India vs New Zealand 1st ODI live from Hamilton. Its is the same ground where IND vs NZ 1st T20 was played. So, no doubt it will be high scoring game again.
Both team bowling attack was seen non effective , it might be due to the pitch condition. It was a flat wicket and no help to the bowlers whatsoever. But New Zealand who lacked the experience of Trent Bolt in the 1st T20 must find a way to limit the Indian batsman to par score.
Generally, New Zealand will dominate the opponent in their home ground and it was seen in the first game but the confident Indian team manage to outperform the Kiwis bowling attack. The young guns of India KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer who scored half century each manage to secure the win for India.

Match Facts and Prediction
Jasprit Bumrah who twisted his ankle while bowling his last over in the 1st t20I is key to Indian bowling attack. In order to limit the Kiwis to small runs, there will be the key role of Bumrah in it.
We might see, Navdeep Saini in place of Sardul Thakur, the pace of Navdeep Saini will make New Zealand Batsman think for a while but of course , the more pace on the ball, the more easier for the batsman to play and the ground is also not too big.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul will be the key batsman for India. If they fall quickly, then India might strugle to score runs.
Martin Guptill is key batsman for New Zealand along with Kane Williamson. The captain played his role in the 1st t20 but it was their bowlers who lack the confidence and the attack that they were suppose to deliver.
Tim Southee is the key bowler for New Zealand. He has all the experience that he can implement to restrict India for decent score or take some key wickets for his team.
The spin attack of New Zealand was exploited by the Indian batsman but they also took some wickets. So, Santner and Sodhi must bowl the decent line and length to control their economy.
Our Prediction: The team who wins the toss will field first. There is no doubt in that. India vs New Zealand 2nd T20 game will be again high scoring game.
