India vs New Zealand 1st ODI Preview at Guwahati - Ind vs NZL First One Day Team

First of the 5 match one day series between host India and New Zealand will be played on Sunday, 28th November, 2010 at Nehru Stadium, Guwahati in a day game starting from morning 3:00 GMT, 8:30 IST.

India won the final test but will be without Tendulkar, Sehwag, Zaheer and Harbhajan. Gambhir will lead the team and he needs to score some runs along with Raina. But all eyes will be on hard hitter Yusuf Pathan who is returning after scoring some runs in the domestic and if he will click he ca stable the lower middle order and R Ashwin who has done extremely well in IPL and CLt20 games.

After decent performance in test series, New Zealand is ready for limited over series. Return of Scott Styris, Daryl Tuffey and Kamie How will boost their moral as Brandon McCullum in good touch but need good contribution from Ross Taylor in the absence of Jesse Ryder.
