CricStats Prediction: India Favoured on the Numbers
The CricStats data lean combines head-to-head results, recent win rates and venue history. On those numbers, India are clear favourites.
| Team | CricStats win probability |
|---|
| New Zealand | 18% |
| India | 82% |
This is a statistical lean and not a certainty. It reflects past results and does not account for confirmed squads, pitch or weather. New Zealand's batting form and Eden Park's batting-first record leave room for a closer contest than the history suggests.
