New Zealand's captain, Mitchell Santner, won the toss and opted to bowl first against India in the decisive fifth ODI of their series at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on November 15. India enters the match with a 2-1 series lead and is hoping for a win to clinch the series. The Indian team, however, is eager to recover from their embarrassing 244-run defeat in the previous ODI.
New Zealand, on the other hand, aims to bounce back after their loss and secure a victory at home. Yash Thakur is set to make his ODI debut for India in this crucial match. The right-arm pacer will have the chance to represent India in the 50-over format as the visitors seek to bolster their bowling lineup. India will be captained by Shreyas Iyer, while Santner will lead the New Zealand side.
The hosts aim to leverage their strong performance in the earlier game and level the series at 2-2. With India holding a 2-1 lead, a win would enable the visitors to secure the series, while New Zealand will be determined to end the contest on a winning note in front of their home supporters.
