Preview: Team India will begin its road to the 2023 World Cup on home soil when it takes on New Zealand in the first of three ODIs in Auckland on Friday. Shikhar Dhawan once again returns as the stand-in captain of the Indian team in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma and other seniors such as Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah. Dhawan takes over from all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who led the Men in Blue to a 1-0 series win in the T20I leg of their tour of New Zealand that took place right after the T20 World Cup in Australia. Pandya has been rested from the ODIs along with the likes of veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj and wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan while Shardul Thakur, Shahbaz Ahmed, Deepak Chahar and Kuldeep Sen have been included. Kane Williamson, who recently returned to form after struggling with the bat for the most part during the T20 World Cup, continues to lead the Black Caps in the one-dayers after the T20I series. He led the Kiwis in the 2nd T20I, which Team India won by a comfortable margin of 65 runs, but missed out on the third game due to a medical appointment, leading to senior bowler Tim Southee taking over the reins. Squads: New Zealand: Finn Allen, Devon Conway(w), Kane Williamson(c), Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Matt Henry, Tom Latham. India: Shikhar Dhawan(c), Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson(w), Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Rishabh Pant.

)
That’s the end of the match. Williamson hits the winning runs. Guides that length ball to the fence to the third man area. New Zealand win by 7 wickets and go 1-0 up in the series
That’s just brilliant! Latham first hit a back of the length ball for a boundary towards the long on area the got one behind the wicket-keeper as he used the the back of the bat to get that stroke perfectly and has completed the over with another four to the leg side
Beautiful! What a fine stroke from Latham. Arshdeep just goes full, outside off and the batter drives that through the covers for a boundary
There it is! 76 balls, 14 fours, 3 sixes - @Tomlatham2's 7th ODI hundred 🏏 #NZvIND pic.twitter.com/0Qe7f3LgLp

Latham gets a single towards the long on region and completes his 100. What a fine knock this has been. He has taken on Shardul Thakur in that one
Now that’s bad strategy from the bowler. Thakur is persisting with the shorter ones and Latham is reading them well. He has been hit for a six and three boundaries already
Tom Latham is unstoppable at the moment. Shardul once again goes short and the left-handed batter pulls that with precision over yhe fine leg boundary for a maximum
Back of the length from Sundar, Latham goes deep inside the crease and drags it to the mid-wicket boundary for a four
Well played, Kane Mama!

Quality half-century 👏#NZvIND
A four followed by a maximum now. Latham takes the advantage of the pace being generated by Umran Malik and dispatches that length ball out of the park towards the deep fine leg region
Shardul Thakur had bowled a pretty good over before that ball. He goes short and Kane Williamson pulls it nicely through the on side and gets a boundary
Washington Sundar tosses that one up a bit and Kane Williamson hits that straight down the ground for a maximum
Umran Malik gets a second. He has been lethal today and deserves that wicket. Bowls touch fuller, offers width on it as Daryl Mitchell goes for the big hit but miscues the stroke and is caught by Deepak Hooda around deep point region

Umran's 1st ODI over 👀#NZvIND #OrangeArmy #UmranMalik
Umran Malik has his first wicket. Bowls it full, quick, outside off, Conway just tries to hit that through the covers but only edges it to the wicket-keeper
Slightly short of length from Chahal, turning away from Williamson and the batter drags it over mid-wicket and gets a boundary
India have got the early breakthrough as Shardul Thakur removed Finn Allen with a perect length delivery, outside off. The batter edged it to wicket-keeper
That’s a good shot from Allen. Arshdeep goes full and straight and the batter just hits that straight down the ground. That’s a no-ball as well!
How excited are you to see #TeamIndia's ODI debutants in action❓🤔

We have Shreyas Iyer rolling his arms in the warm-up. India have gone with five specialist bowlers and might need someone to chip in with 3-4 overs
India posted 306/7 in 50 overs after a late surge from Washington Sundar and Shreyas Iyer. Sundar was on song with the bat. He chipped in with an unbeaten 37 off 16 which included three maximums and as many fours during his knock
WHAT A KNOCK this has been from Sundar. He first went across and scooped one to the fine leg boundary for four and has now hit the length ball out of the park to mid-wicket boundary for a maximum
A six and a four and a total of 13 runs came from that over. Washington Sundar has joined the party now. He hammered one fuller delivery for a maximum over cow corner
New Zealand have a wicket at a crucial stage. Samson hits that high in the air towards the on side as Phillips charges in and takes a good catch. The wicket-keeper batter has to go back for 36 off 38
Iyer cuts that through the offside and notches up a fifty. This has been a good innings from him so far
This has been a good over for India. Iyer has already got a four and a six in that one. It’s good to see the way Iyer is negotiating those shorter ones from the pacers
New Zealand bowlers have made a good comeback after that start from Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan. They have picked up wickets at regular intervals. Onus is now on Iyer and Samson to get India back on track
That’s a massive wicket. Suryakumar Yadav has to walk back for 4 off 3. Ferguson once again bowled back of the length, just outside the off. Suryakumar Yadav couldn’t really do much about it and edged it straight to Finn Allen in the slips
Pant wasn’t looking in greatest of touch today and he will walk back for 15 off 23. Ferguson bowls that back of the length as the left-hander goes for the pull but only manages to get the inside edge and the ball hits the stumps
Shreyas Iyer is negotiating the short balls well. Ferguson bangs that short and Iyer times that upper cut to perfection and gets a maximum over the wicket-keeper’s head
That’s another one. It’s Shikhar Dhawan who has to depart. Southee bowls that full, outside off as Dhawan tries to place that through the off side but slices that straight to point. Allen takes a good catch and Dhawan goes for 72 off 77
Lockie Ferguson has provided the breakthrough. He bowls that full, on to Shubman Gill’s pads as the batter flicks it in the air but doesn’t time the stroke well and is caught at deep abckward square leg by Conway for 50 off 65
Now, Shubman Gill brings up his half-century. That’s a brilliant knock from the young man. He took his time initially and went for his strokes after getting his eye in
After 21 overs,India 101/0 ( Shikhar Dhawan (C) 58 , Shubman Gill 41)
India vs New Zealand LIVE
That’s another 100-run stand between Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan. This has been a fine start from the two openers
That’s 50 for Shikhar Dhawan and what a way to bring up the milestone. Fuller one from Milne and Dhawan hits that over mid on for a boundary
After 15 overs,India 68/0 ( Shikhar Dhawan (C) 33 , Shubman Gill 33)
India vs New Zealand LIVE
Two in two for Dhawan as he first cuts one through the off side and now places that nicely towards the on side to get another boundary. The skipper is getting into the act now
That’s another maximum for Shubman Gill. Henry goes short and Gill takes the advantage of the pace, targets the shorter boundary behind and upper cuts that for a maximum
After 6 overs,India 23/0 ( Shikhar Dhawan (C) 12 , Shubman Gill 10)
India vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE
A maximum to finish that over. Shubman Gill takes the aerial route and hammers it over long on
