India vs New Zealand : One day international( head to head)

India vs New Zealand one day internationals hasn't been as close as contests between other two countries for the simple reason = New Zealand bowlers love to swing, something that Indian batsman don't like much. on other hand, Indian bowlers like to spin against which New Zealand batsman struggle.

Same can't be said about overall 50 over games played between the two contrastingly different cricket teams. out of 75 India vs New Zealand one day internationals (as of February 2009), 36 wins for India & 35 wins for New Zealand with 4 no results.

Note : There has never been a tied one day cricket match between India and New Zealand.

INDIA vs NEWZEALAND '09 SCHEDULE

It's not much fun waking up at 3 am in the morning and watch a cricket test match.. or is it? Well, I here at Itsonlycricket.com love it, but can't say the same for most of cricket fans who have to work in the morning.


An India vs New Zealand test series, in New Zealand, brings about similar scenario when the test matches and Day one day internationals start at 3.30 am India timing. Probably cause of its awkward start time, India have visited New Zealand only 7 times in their 6 decades of cricketing hall of fame..

Fact : International cricket council (ICC) makes it mandatory for every test playing country to tour another inside 4 years duration, at least!

Fact : India's record in New Zealand conditions is very bad. only 4 wins out of 18 played! But having said that - every new series comes with new challenges and fresh hope.. Following is full schedule of India's tour of New Zealand 2009.

1st T20 = Christchurch = 25 February
1st T20 = Wellington = 27 February

1st ODI = Napier = 3 March
2nd ODI = Wellington = 6 March
3rd ODI = Christchurch = 8 March
4th ODI = Hamilton = 11 March
5th ODI = Auckland = 14 March

1st test = Hamilton = 18-22 March
2nd test = Napier = 26-30 March
3rd Test = Wellington = 3-7 April.

Note : A revised tour fixtures was released today (15 January 2009) as Indian boards request to Kiwi counterparts to add more games to the tour since visitors have very little cricket this year..
