NZ vs Ind 1st ODI: Toss Stats

Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, team India have lost the toss on four occasions in their last five completed ODI matches. Fortunately for the 'Men in Blue', India have won all four of those matches. On the other hand, the upcoming series is New Zealand’s first ODI assignment since the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England. In their last five games of the tournament, New Zealand won the toss thrice. However, the Black Caps have won only one out of their past five ODIs. Their solitary win came against India in the semi-final.

At the Seddon Park in Hamilton, conditions are ideally suited for the teams batting second. In the past five ODIs played at the venue, chasing teams have won the game on all five occasions. We expect the captain winning the toss to bat second.
