Betting preview for the New Zealand v India fifth ODI, TV details and tip

Fifth ODI
Sky Sports Cricket, 2am Sunday

New Zealand's one-day series against India is yet to produce a competitive game with the tourists easing into a 3-0 lead before being bowled out for 92 as the Kiwis claimed a consolation victory.

Virat Kohli sat out that defeat and the inspirational India skipper is rested for the series finale in Wellington, with bookmakers struggling to split the teams.

In Kohli's absence, Trent Boult ran through the India batting with 5-21 in Hamilton last time out, setting up a straightforward chase for the home side.

Henry Nicholls, opening for the first time in an ODI, finished unbeaten on 30 and he is worth backing to top-score as he presses his claims for this summer's World Cup.

Nicholls has impressed in Test cricket recently and scored his first one-day century, 124 not out against Sri Lanka, in January.

Recommendation
H Nicholls top New Zealand runscorer
1pt 9-2 bet365, Betfred, Sky Bet
