India's challenge has always been tough from New Zealand in ODI cricket. There have been a total of 123 ODIs held between both teams from the year 1975. In which, India has won 63 matches against New Zealand and lost 52 matches. There have been seven draws between both teams, while there has been one tie between them. Hence, the winning percentage of India against New Zealand in this format stands at 54.74%, while that of New Zealand is 45.25%.

The last time India and New Zealand met in an ODI series was in January 2026, when New Zealand toured India. During that period, the Kiwis performed brilliantly in the ODI series, defeating India 2-1. This was New Zealand's first ODI series win on Indian soil. This was New Zealand's first victory on Indian soil after 37 years.

In such a situation, the Indian team has a great opportunity to avenge its previous defeat by defeating New Zealand on its home soil. The Indian team last defeated New Zealand in an ODI series in 2019. In that series, India defeated New Zealand 4-1. Since then, India has not won a bilateral ODI series against New Zealand on its home soil.

New Zealand whitewashed India 3-0 on its home soil in 2020. Subsequently, in 2022, the Kiwi team defeated India 1-0 at home to win the three-match series. On that tour, New Zealand won the first match by seven wickets, while the remaining two matches ended in draws.
