India vs New Zealand, statistically speaking

Team India has two members - MS Dhoni and Ishant Sharma - of that victorious 2009 side returning to New Zealand for the One-Day International series, which commences on Sunday.

- Team India's ranking at stake in New Zealand ODIs

- New Zealand pick pace-heavy squad for India ODI series

The hosts, however, are almost a completely overhauled unit. The teams may not appear equal on paper but the home advantage is something than should benefit New Zealand.
