ODI 5: Balancing Act

ODI 5 – 31 January, 2014 - Wellington
New Zealand Vs India

New Zealand
The team has made some changes – balancing it out will be a task but a manageable one. Batting will have a good start, but a dip will be seen. Bowling will be strong and well coordinated. Fielding will be effective too.

The Captain – Brendon McCullum
McCullum seems unusually strained. He has some wise plans up his sleeve, but may lose belief from time to time.

India
It's a strange situation – team India exude belief, courage and balance but their anxieties will be seen with their batting, bowling and fielding. They will have to be more aggressive with their initial batting to gain the right momentum. Bowling will be steadier but elementary mistakes will be seen in parts. Fielding will lack focus.

The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Dhoni understands the potentials of the team yet feels confused with handling his resources. He wishes to go defensive but this will be against his natural instinct. Aggression will help him.

Tarot Advantage
All will come together for: Team India

ODI 4 - Momentum

ODI 4 – 28 January, 2014 - Hamilton
New Zealand Vs India

New Zealand
Over-confidence is never healthy, especially when it leads to complacency. New Zealand do have a good start, but utilising this potential throughout the match will be tough. Batting will not have the right approach, but they will recover well. Bowling will be good in parts, it's the latter half that will appear weaker. Fielding will be patchy.

The Captain – Brendon McCullum
Although a little soft at times, McCullum will make quick and effective changes. He will build momentum as the match progresses.

India
Team India's belief continues to grow, but yet it's their own elementary errors that will hinder their acceleration. They will play well as a team, especially with their batting in which they will accumulate with confidence. Bowling will be much improved. Fielding will be aggressive but flawed.

The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Glimpses of the more sure Dhoni will be seen. He feels more comfortable – it's this ease that will lead to good captaincy.

Tarot Advantage
India

ODI 3 - Mind Games

ODI 3 – 25 January, 2014 - Auckland
New Zealand Vs India

New Zealand
It's not so much that New Zealand will make some silly errors on their own, instead it will be induced mistakes by the opposition. Confident, steady and aggressive will be their overall demeanour, but maintaining this till the end will be their challenge. Batting will be inconsistent in parts, but it will be the small contributions that will accumulate a nice innings for the team. Bowling will need to be more energetic because a softer approach will let the opposition off the hook. Fielding will be good.

The Captain – Brendon McCullum
McCullum is a little moody today – he will fluctuate with his decisions, which may find the team having to work harder than required.

India
It's a bit of mix – despite the two losses, team India are confident of coming back and challenging the opposition. They will have the tendency to lose belief and even look worried, but these will just be in small phases. Eventually gathering themselves well, their batting will show controlled application. Bowling won't be so consistent, but it will deliver when required. Fielding will need to be more enthusiastic.

The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Although outwardly balanced, Dhoni is fighting ideas that come naturally to him. He will make the right changes, but he will need to be more aggressive.

Tarot Advantage
India

Tough Task

ODI 2 – 22 January, 2014 - Hamilton
New Zealand Vs India

New Zealand
The team does feel comfortable and hence this allows them to bring ingenuity to their game plans. Their batting will be their strength, but it's the bowling that will require much better focus. Fielding will be patchy when it would matter the most.

The Captain – Brendon McCullum
McCullum is ready to take risks and push his ideas – but more calculation and sensibility will be required.

India
The team may not be the most comfortable, but they are working hard to be build better team work. Batting will be patchy – but a strong and applied innings will be seen from a few players. Bowling will be smarter and deceptive. Despite this being a challenge, the bowlers will be better prepared. Fielding will be acceptable.

The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Dhoni isn't feeling the most confident and may just bloom a little too late in the game. He will have to think and act quicker.

Tarot Advantage
The toss will be important, but advantage: India

ODI 1 - A Challenge - for Both

ODI 1 – 19 January, 2014 - Napier
New Zealand Vs India

New Zealand
There is a certain comfort about team New Zealand – that's expected since it is home turf, but it's tough for this comfort to last. They will need to be careful of losing focus, especially with their initial batting and fielding. Overall, batting will pick up and bowling will be balanced.

The Captain – Brendon McCullum
It's easy for McCullum to get caught up in multiple ideas and make some basic errors in judgement. He will have to be more pro-active to get better results.

India
The team holds a basic belief in themselves – which may just work well, especially as they're more determined to work hard and put up a fight. Batting will show lax moments in the middle, but it will be an overall sound performance. Bowling will be well composed – the application will be seen. Fielding will be aggressive

The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Dhoni appears nervous – past history does play on his mind, but as the match progresses, he will balance himself well.

Tarot Advantage
A tough fight, but with a slight edge: India
