AI match overview

AI overview

India get the nod at 74% in this 1st ODI, with New Zealand at 26%. It is a strong lean, not a lock.

Lean: IndiaSurface: Flat / battingToss: bowl firstHome side: New Zealand

Eden Park hosts New Zealand against India in the 1st ODI, number 6 in a 12-match India tour of New Zealand, 2026. It is listed for Monday 9 November 2026, with the start at 19:30 IST. New Zealand have home conditions on their side, which our model counts as a small edge.

Both sides lean on their batting depth, so the contest is likely to be decided by whoever handles the big overs better. Eden Park is a ground with very short square boundaries that puts a premium on length, so we expect a flat / batting surface with a first-innings score around 316–368 for India and 298–347 for New Zealand.

Changeable weather is normal, and a cool, overcast morning suits the seamers. The toss lean is to bowl first. Most captains chase on a true surface because they can pace the innings to a target.
