India are touring New Zealand for a five-match ODI series in November 2026. After four matches India lead 2-1, with one match producing no result. The fifth and final ODI is on Sunday 15 November 2026 at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui.

Start time: Wisden lists 3pm local time and the venue lists 2.30pm. We could not confirm which is final, so check the BLACKCAPS or Bay Oval website on match day. New Zealand is 8 hours ahead of Pakistan, so 2.30pm–3pm local is about 6.30am–7am in Pakistan.

What happened so far

Two close wins for India

The first two matches were shortened by rain and decided by the DLS method. India won the opener in Auckland by five wickets and the second game in Wellington by just four runs.

A washout in Hamilton

The third ODI ended with no result, so no side gained ground.

New Zealand hit back at Bay Oval

The fourth ODI was one-sided: New Zealand made 333, with Will Young scoring 125, and Matt Henry's 6 for 27 bowled India out for 89. Read the full 4th ODI report.

5th ODI preview: what each side needs

India cannot lose the series. A win makes it 3-1; a defeat makes it 2-2 and the series is drawn.
New Zealand must win to level the series 2-2.
The match is at the same ground as the fourth ODI, so both sides have recent knowledge of the pitch and short boundaries.
