Preview
New Zealand vs India match preview
With 4 matches of India tour of New Zealand, 2026 still to come, game 8 can swing the series. The Goexch model leans to New Zealand at 50%, mainly on squad strength and how Seddon Park has played in recent seasons. New Zealand are at home, and the model adds a few percentage points for that. India's best chance of an upset is the first hour. If they get on top early, our 50% for them starts to look low.
