   2         🇮🇳    India                                              
   3         🇳🇿   NewZealand
So a big Odi series between ranked 2 and ranked 3 teams.NewZealand are very dominant in their homeland and they didnt loose any ODI series here since august 2015.

ODI BATTING RANKING:------

1.    🇮🇳 Virat Kohli
2.    🇮🇳 Rohit Sharma
3.    🇳🇿Ross Taylor
9.    🇮🇳 Dhawan
11.  🇳🇿Williamson
14.  🇳🇿Guptill

The no.1 ODI bowler Jasprit Bumrah is not in the ODI squad as he is on rest after delivering 157 overs in Test against Australia.
But they have an experienced Bhuvneshwar with shami and the magical duo kul-cha(Kuldeep -chahal who both ranked under top 10).
India's middle order recently got some runs. MSD's comeback in his form. Actually he is the man of the series in the Australian tour.
Kedar too played a good and responsible knock in that 3rd Odi.
On the other hand, NewZealand too have a better all-rounder.
The 5 match series will be full of thriller .

Who is better King K or K (KOHLI OR KANE)?
Who will win?
Who will score highest run ?
Is there any 200 possible?
Will Indian's middle order do the same what they had done in Australia?

Questions are many and you will get all those answer from the 23rd January

2nd INNING: firstly this game was all set by chahal's magical spell.India's win mostly depends on Dhawan,Rohit and Virat from the last 3 years but  this successful run-chase without any of top three scoring 50+ will provide the confidence to the middle order for the World Cup 2019.An unbeaten 121-run stand gives India their first ever bilateral ODI series win in Australia against Australia..

IND 234/3

MoM :Virat Kohli

Toss : Australia opt to bat

1st  INNING:From the beginning of the inning ,Bhuvneshwar holds the line and length and he gave only 18 runs in his first 7 overs.One time Australia's score is 26/2 but S Marsh took the responsibility and made a century which is probably the first century for Australia in this series and it took 3 T20,4Tests and 2ODI to come.They stretched their total to 298 and they made 93 runs in last 10 overs despite of efforts from the bhuvneshwar.

S Marsh 131 (123)        Bhuvneshwar  4/45
Maxwell  48  (37)           Shami               3/58

2nd INNING:As this is a must win game for India, the openers starts well.Captain and Vice captain leading the chase for India after Dhawan's dismissal. Dhawan was looking very fluent and got the hosts off to a great start but behrendorff took his revenge soon.Rohit was consistent and made a good start for the team ,then The captain Virat Kohli achieved 39th ODI hundred.after his wicket ,MS Dhoni took all the responsibility along with Dinesh and played unbreakable partnership of 54 runs and finishes off in his style.This proves that the finisher is alive ,he is reborned.
Before the match there was a big question mark on the performance of Dhoni and Bhuvneshwar and they delivered today in the best way.Today all the 5 partnership is 40+.

Virat Kohli    104 (112)
Dhoni             55*(54)
Rohit              43(52)

DECIDER MATCH: 18th Jan 2019 ,MCG (MELBOURNE)

🇮🇳INDIA VS 🇧🇭BAHRAIN ⚽AFC ASIAN CUP19

After a win over Thailand (4-1) and a heartbreaking defeat by UAE(0-2) in the first two games of Group A, India holds 2nd spot on the points table of their group.
After 8 years India qualified for ASIAN CUP and that too is due to the dedication of the indian team and also the supporters who come forward to support them.
Stats shows that India never won against Bahrain,but another fact is that bahrain never faced this indian team.
Bahrain's currently rank is 113 while india's rank is  97.
MATCH RESULT: India eliminated
1st Half:From the first minute, Bahrain team looked so confident and dominant.they kept the pressure on indian side ,though indian defenders ,forward players tried a lot but they niether could made any chance nor they took the ball for a long time. At the end of first half, scores were 0-0 but indians were lagging.
2nd Half:
The beginning again did not become good for the Indian team. Seriously Bahrain had caught the opposition's nerves.Indian goal keeper Gulpreet singh had saved many goals.
But unfortunately Bahrain team got a penalty shoot in the final minute of the game and they got a success in converting it to a goal.

Final result : 🇮🇳 INDIA VS 🇧🇭BAHRAIN (0-1)

India knocked out of the tournament, finishing fourth in the group 
Meanwhile BAHRAIN got the ticket to enter in final 16 of AFC ASIAN CUP 2019

This is a fair result because India was recessive .
This was Sunil chhetri's 107th  International appearance.

IND🇮🇳 VS AUS🇦🇺 1st ODI ,SYDNEY 2019

Not an ideal start of ODI series for this year as they ranked 2nd in the ICC rankings while Australian ranked 6th in the ICC rankings.
Australia won by 34 runs
MoM: jhye Richardson
Toss : Australia opted to bat
1st INNING :
Not a good start for Australia but they had a few partnerships in between and they scored 93 in the last 10 overs which moved them to 288/5.
Handscomb  73(61)
Khawaja         59(81)
S Marsh          54(70)
 
Kuldeep 54/2   ; Bhuvaneshwar 66/2

As Australians felt this would be good score to defend ,but Indians felt they can easily chase it down.
2nd INNING:Australian seamers bowls beyond the expectations.
They bowled out the 3 batsman in first 4 overs including Dhawan,Virat and Ambati.
Then the whole responsibility just came under the shoulders of Rohit and Dhoni.
They take those pressure and made 137 runs stand till Dhoni got out of a wrong decision.
But the HITMAN's show was on and he played his shots like a one man army.
He made his 22nd ton , but due to lack of help from the other side he chooses to attack every single ball and that turned him down to loose his wicket.
Rohit sharma 133(129)
MS Dhoni          51(96)

Jhye Richardson      26/4
Jason Behrendorff  39/2

So, Australia 1-0 up in the series .
