Pitch Report And Fantasy Impact
The accessible Hnry Stadium ODI record has a small and mixed sample. The latest listed ODI was New Zealand’s two-wicket win over England on 1 November 2025. India beat New Zealand by 35 runs at the ground in 2019. The venue ODI results do not support one fixed pitch label or one verified average score.
| Date | Match | Ground result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Nov 2025 | New Zealand vs England | New Zealand won by 2 wickets |
| 3 Feb 2019 | New Zealand vs India | India won by 35 runs |
| 3 Mar 2018 | New Zealand vs England | England won by 4 runs |
| 25 Feb 2017 | New Zealand vs South Africa | South Africa won by 159 runs |
For Fantasy planning, use confirmed top-order batters and wicketkeepers first. All-rounders can cover both innings. Add bowlers after the toss. The surface, wind, weather, and final bowling plans can change the value of each role. No verified match-day weather or average score is used here.
Head-To-Head
At Hnry Stadium, the accessible ODI record shows four India-New Zealand meetings through the cutoff. India won in 2019 and 2003. New Zealand won in 2014. The 2009 match had no result. This is a venue-scoped count, not the overall ODI head-to-head. The venue results record supports this count.
See the India vs New Zealand head-to-head page for broader context. Older results do not decide this match.

- Axar Patel
- Naman Dhir
- Anshul Kamboj

- Tim Seifert (WK)
- Will Young
- Henry Nicholls
- Daryl Mitchell
- Glenn Phillips
- Mitchell Santner
- Nathan Smith

- Blair Tickner
This list uses players who were available in the first ODI or named in the official ODIs 1–3 pool. Conway was reported out after the training collision. Rachin Ravindra and Mark Chapman were absent in Auckland but are listed in the ODIs 1–3 group. They are not ruled out for Wellington. They are left out of this editorial XI only because their second-ODI status was unresolved at the cutoff. The final XI remains unknown. The ICC squad list and first ODI scorecard show the relevant pool and Auckland XI.
Six Provisional Dream11 Scenario Teams
These six scenarios are editorial drafts from the current render data. Each needs a final XI check after the toss. Their scenarios, risks, player names, and captain or vice-captain assignments are preserved in the team cards below.
Team 1: India Top-Order Control
India’s experienced top order builds the chase while Arshdeep and Kamboj attack with the ball.
View Player Names And Roles
WK: KL Rahul, Tom Latham
BAT: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Will Young
AR: Axar Patel, Daryl Mitchell
BOWL: Arshdeep Singh, Anshul Kamboj, Jacob Duffy
Captain: Virat Kohli · Vice-Captain: Daryl Mitchell
Risk: This build needs India’s senior batters and the first-ODI bowling roles to continue.
Team 2: New Zealand Seam Pressure
New Zealand’s quicks make early inroads and their middle order controls the chase.
View Player Names And Roles
WK: Ishan Kishan, Tim Seifert
BAT: Shreyas Iyer, Naman Dhir, Henry Nicholls
AR: Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell
BOWL: Gurnoor Brar, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson
Captain: Mitchell Santner · Vice-Captain: Matt Henry
Risk: India’s top order can reduce the value of this home-seam scenario if it bats deep.
Team 3: India Middle-Overs Attack
India’s spin and pace options take wickets in the middle overs after a stable start.
View Player Names And Roles
WK: KL Rahul, Tim Seifert
BAT: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Will Young
AR: Axar Patel, Glenn Phillips, Nathan Smith
BOWL: Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jacob Duffy
Captain: Axar Patel · Vice-Captain: Jacob Duffy
Risk: The team has fewer New Zealand top-order batting picks if the home side posts a large score.
Team 4: Wellington Home Script
New Zealand’s all-rounders contribute in both innings and the home attack wins key phases.
View Player Names And Roles
WK: Ishan Kishan, Tom Latham
BAT: Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Henry Nicholls
AR: Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell
BOWL: Auqib Nabi, Matt Henry, Blair Tickner
Captain: Daryl Mitchell · Vice-Captain: Michael Bracewell
Risk: Seven New Zealand selections leave less room if India dominate the match again.
Team 5: India Bowling Balance
India’s bowlers repeat their first-ODI pressure and Virat Kohli anchors the batting points.
View Player Names And Roles
WK: KL Rahul
BAT: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Will Young, Henry Nicholls
AR: Axar Patel, Nathan Smith
BOWL: Anshul Kamboj, Gurnoor Brar, Jacob Duffy
Captain: Anshul Kamboj · Vice-Captain: Axar Patel
Risk: The draft depends on India using three specialist wicket-taking bowlers again.
Team 6: Two-Skill Chase Cover
The chase is led by India’s batters while three New Zealand all-rounders add multi-phase cover.
View Player Names And Roles
WK: Ishan Kishan, Tim Seifert
BAT: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Will Young
AR: Axar Patel, Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell
BOWL: Kuldeep Yadav, Kyle Jamieson, Blair Tickner
Captain: Glenn Phillips · Vice-Captain: Kuldeep Yadav
Risk: This build needs the all-rounders to receive meaningful overs or batting responsibility.
Captain And Vice-Captain Choices
Virat Kohli: He made 74 from 51 balls in the first ODI and remains a top-order batting option if selected. Jacob Duffy dismissed him in Auckland, so this choice carries a clear matchup risk.
Arshdeep Singh: He took four wickets in the first ODI. His new-ball and later-overs roles support this choice if India use him again. The risk is a change in workload or XI.
Jacob Duffy: He took three wickets in the first ODI, including Kohli. His value depends on selection and whether he gets the same attacking phases in Wellington.
Mitchell Santner: He is New Zealand’s ODI captain in the official first-three-ODI group. His batting and left-arm spin give him a two-skill route to points, but his workload depends on the match situation.
Axar Patel: He is in India’s first-three-ODI squad and bowled five overs in Auckland. His batting position and bowling workload must be checked at the toss.
For an IND vs NZ Hero11 team or Fantasy team, use these as editorial C/VC ideas only. Do not treat an editorial role as a confirmed team selection or platform rule.
Top 3 Player Battles
- Virat Kohli vs Jacob Duffy: Kohli is a top-order anchor while Duffy attacks with the ball. Duffy dismissed him in the first ODI, which gives this matchup a clear selection and phase risk.
- Rohit Sharma vs Kyle Jamieson: Jamieson dismissed Rohit early in the first ODI. His height and hard length can test India’s opening plan again if both are selected.
- Daryl Mitchell vs Arshdeep Singh: Mitchell bats in New Zealand’s middle order while Arshdeep can operate with the new ball and later overs. The matchup depends on when their innings overlap.
These are role-based matchup ideas. No career head-to-head numbers are claimed.
Top Players To Look Out For
- Anshul Kamboj: Player of the Match in Auckland with 2/22. His second-ODI value depends on another place in the XI and similar bowling phases.
- Daryl Mitchell: A batting all-rounder in New Zealand’s ODIs 1–3 pool. His bowling involvement can change the value of a Fantasy selection.
- Glenn Phillips: A middle-order option who can offer part-time spin. Batting position and overs are not fixed.
- Mitchell Santner: The New Zealand captain and a two-skill option. His impact depends on how much spin the Wellington surface offers.
- Rachin Ravindra: His inclusion in the ODIs 1–3 pool keeps him in the selection watch. Missing the first ODI is not enough to rule him out of the second.
- Mark Chapman: He is also listed in the ODIs 1–3 pool. His absence from Auckland leaves a lineup risk rather than a confirmed exclusion.
Match Winner Prediction
India have a 1-0 lead and won the first ODI. New Zealand have home conditions and may adjust their batting order after the 185 all-out result. The early editorial lean is India, but the final XI and toss can change that view. A New Zealand win becomes more likely if their top order survives India’s left-arm pace and their seamers repeat the early pressure from Auckland. This is a conditional view.
