NZ vs IND 2nd ODI Predictions & Betting Tips

India and New Zealand will lock horns with each other in the second ODI of the three-match ODI series at the Seddon Park, Hamilton on November 27, 2022 (Sunday).

It has been a story told multiple times. After India won the T20 series, they faltered in the opening ODI against New Zealand, pretty much like the story of the 2020 tour. Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan, and Shubman Gill all scored half-centuries, but typical conservatism at the start of the innings and lack of bowlers who could actually put pressure on the opposition made the Indian team look sorry in front of the duo of Kane Williamson and Tom Latham. Will that story continue in the second ODI? Or will it be a fresh start for Team India? But for punters, there is a whole new angle to be explored and we can’t keep our calm.

NZ vs IND Team Bets:

Let us have a look at our top two team betting tips from the NZ vs IND head-to-head contest.

India to hit over 23.5 fours

India may have been a conservative ODI side but that doesn’t dispel the truth that when it comes to hitting fours, they are as good as any team in the world. Perhaps, better than everyone else. It is a currency that keeps them going in the ODI cricket before landing the knockout punch. In the first ODI, when they batted very slowly, the total fours stood at 28, an indicator of things they normally do. Since January 1, 2019, India have played 61 ODIs in which they have hit a colossal 47.71% of runs through boundaries alone with a balls per boundary rate of 9.3. On an average, they’ve hit 26.45 fours per game and that is still low due to multiple rain affected encounters. Since January 2010, India have hit a total of 381 fours in New Zealand on an average of 25.81 fours per game. Tells you everything you need to know, doesn’t it? Given in this time frame, India have a runs per dismissal rate of 39.3, scoring runs has never been a challenging proposition. Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead, join our affiliate partner 1XBET to bet big on India to hit over 23.5 fours with an odds offering of 2 to boot for this NZ vs IND encounter.

India’s opening partnership over 30.5 runs

There is a reason why we call India a conservative ODI side. No matter what score they end up with, it is always slow batting in the powerplay that takes the cake. Be it the partnership of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhwan, be it Kishan and Dhawan or Gill or Dhawan, it is a consistent strategy for the Indian team in the last decade. What could be a possible outcome? Not losing a wicket in the powerplay. As a matter of fact, India lost a wicket only 12.85% times in the first 10 overs of the innings since 2013. In the first ODI, Dhawan and Gill batted with a sordid lucacity as India forged 124 runs for the opening wicket. Hence, it would be head over the remark that India wouldn’t lose a wicket before adding 30 runs to the total. Let’s delve deeper. Since 2015, in 146 matches, Indian openers have scored at an average of 49.5 with a wicket per ball ratio of 54.4. India have hit a total of 1428 boundaries in the process, hence there is not a lot that is being inferred but concluded. In the last 13 games, the partnership has been above the required runs from the market a colossal 11 times, hence you’d know the assurance. Then things are pretty easy and straightforward, no? Go ahead, place your bet on 1XBET offering odds of 1.91 for this NZ vs IND encounter at the Seddon Park in Hamilton.

NZ vs IND Player Bet:

Mentioned below is our top and only player betting pick from the NZ vs IND head-to-head contest. Take a look!

Shreyas Iyer to score over 28.5 runs

When it comes to ODI cricket, there are a few who could rival the dominance that Shreyas Iyer has shown in the last three years. After unfortunately losing out on a spot in the 2019 World Cup side, which he thoroughly deserved, Iyer has made sure things wouldn’t be too far-fetched for 2023 and every single move of his has been perfect. In 34 ODIs, Iyer has 1379 runs at an average of 49.25 with 13 half-centuries and 2 centuries. He has a balls per dismissal ratio of 49.8, which further compounds his credentials. What makes him such a wholesome ODI player is his balls per boundary ratio of 8.6. Just figure out the charisma, will you? In four matches in New Zealand, Iyer has an average of 74.25 - and in every single game, he has crossed the 50-run milestone. If I wouldn’t back him to score at least 29 runs in the 2nd game in Hamilton, then tell me, who would I? A balls per dismissal ratio of 75.8 in New Zealand further adds to his overall credentials. In 2022, Iyer has already played 12 ODIs for India, and holds an average of 62.89, making himself the kind of batter that Virat Kohli has been for many many years. In 50% of those matches, Iyer has crossed the 50-run milestone. Then you have a chance to take home a lot of prize simply by adding a new addendum to the process, placing a bet on 1XBET for Iyer to score over 28.5 runs and that would yield you a 83% return for this NZ vs IND encounter.
