ODI 4-0, Before that in SA ODI'S 2-0 and both the matches they lost were more bad than these 4 matches they lost. In the latter case India performed exceptional in the test series,.. Here Batsmen wise both teams are equally phased.. If one has Kohli and Pujara other has Williamson and Taylor.
According to Rahul Dravid it is going to be far better in terms of performance and results this time. More and so because batsman will have time to cope with the bounce.
The difference will however be the bowling of the two sides.. India might go with Bhuvi or Ishwar pandey in place of ishant and Jadeja might cut the edge by taking the spot for the spinner
New Zealand have a pretty settled combination with Corey Anderson batting at No. 6 and wicketkeeper BJ Watling coming in at No. 7. They have resisted the temptation of playing four quicks, which means Doug Bracewell will sit out, making this a big match for the India-born legspinner Ish Sodhi, against some of the best players of spin.
New Zealand 1 Peter Fulton, 2 Hamish Rutherford, 3 Kane Williamson, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Brendon McCullum (capt.), 6 Corey Anderson, 7 BJ Watling, 8 Tim Southee, 9. Neil Wagner, 10 Trent Boult, 11 Ish Sodhi
India won't be changing their top seven from the Durban Test unless they see a really flat pitch and play five bowlers with MS Dhoni batting at No. 6 and R Ashwin at 7. Don't hold your breath, though. Ravindra Jadeja should be rewarded with a place ahead of Ashwin, and Ishant Sharma should compete with Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the third seamer's slot. Ishant's height and pace might go for him, but Bhuvneshwar had a much better ODI series.
India 1 M Vijay, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Cheteshwar Pujara, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Rohit Sharma, 6 Ajinkya Rahane, 7 MS Dhoni (capt. & wk), 8 Ravindra Jadeja, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Bhuvneshwar Kumar/ Ishant Sharma
hope for the best..:)
