Bet on India vs New Zealand on Cricket

India are slightly favored to win this ODI, with early market odds around 1.60 for India and 2.30 for New Zealand based on India’s stronger home record and the return of senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, while New Zealand travel with a depleted squad and several players new to Indian conditions, making India the safer pick at DexWin - Best Odds on Your Favourite Sports.

The India vs New Zealand One Day International on 14 January 2026 is scheduled to start at 8:00 AM UTC, which is 1:30 PM local time in India (IST, UTC+5:30) and 9:30 PM in New Zealand (NZDT, UTC+13).

The match will be played in India at a major ODI venue expected to offer a flat pitch with good bounce and value for stroke play, typically favoring top-order batters like Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli while providing some assistance to quality new-ball seamers such as Mohammed Siraj during the first powerplay.

With India priced around 1.60 and New Zealand near 2.30, the odds imply roughly a 60–62% win probability for India versus 38–40% for New Zealand, reflecting India’s strong recent ODI form at home and New Zealand’s inexperience in subcontinental conditions; however, New Zealand’s recent nine-match ODI winning streak suggests value on them in upset scenarios if their top order fires.

In men’s ODIs, India hold a narrow historical edge over New Zealand, with India having won slightly more meetings overall while New Zealand have often competed strongly in ICC tournaments; in India, though, New Zealand have never won a bilateral ODI series, underlining a consistent advantage for the hosts in home conditions.
