Hosted the 3rd T20I, where India chased 199 in 13.2 overs. The ground has long straight boundaries and short square ones (about 60 metres, per ANI), and wind is a regular factor. Wellington Regional Stadium has carried the Hnry Stadium name since March 2026.
These are retained venue facts, not a match-day pitch inspection. The surface, boundary placement and toss can change how the match develops; no unsourced ODI average or par score is assigned.
The opener supplies the current ODI evidence. T20I scores are not used as a substitute for 50-over form.
| Player | Performance | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Virat Kohli | 74 (51) in the 1st ODI | India reached the DLS target of 143 |
| Anshul Kamboj | 2/22 in ten overs in the 1st ODI | Player of the match; two maiden overs |
| Arshdeep Singh | 4/70 in ten overs in the 1st ODI | Four wickets in New Zealand’s 185 all out |
| Gurnoor Brar | 3/44 in 9.2 overs in the 1st ODI | Three wickets at Eden Park |

Provisional editorial XIs — not confirmed teams. Unchanged XIs are a provisional editorial starting point based on the 4 November scorecard, not a confirmed selection. Any fresh availability report or toss announcement overrides these lists.
Auqib Nabi appeared in the opener; his inclusion here is an editorial assumption of continuity, not confirmation for Wellington.
The available alternatives in the announced squad can still change this XI.
The next match is the 2nd ODI in Wellington on 7 November; its playing XI is unconfirmed. According to ICC’s 30 October update, Prasidh Krishna is out of the ODI series and Nitish Kumar Reddy is available only for the opener before joining India A. Auqib Nabi played the first ODI, but that does not confirm his selection for Wellington.
According to ICC’s 1 November update, Mark Chapman (hamstring) and Rachin Ravindra (shoulder) are out of the ODI series. Tim Seifert is available for all five matches, Henry Nicholls for games 1–3 and Dean Foxcroft for games 4–5. The 2nd ODI playing XI remains unconfirmed.
ICC’s 30 October announcement excludes Prasidh Krishna and limits Nitish to the opener. Auqib Nabi subsequently played the 1st ODI, as both scorecards show. This dated squad announcement is not a confirmed 2nd ODI XI.
ICC squad announcement dated 1 November, checked 5 November. A squad place does not confirm selection in the XI.
These are editorial questions to watch, based on the opener rather than a claimed head-to-head statistical record.
Kohli's 74 and Gill's 37 anchored the chase in Auckland. Duffy still took three wickets. Our key question is whether New Zealand can separate India's top order before it settles.
Arshdeep, Gurnoor and Kamboj shared nine wickets in the opener. New Zealand's response against that group matters more to this preview than an assumption that the same score will repeat at Wellington.
Editorial choices, conditional on selection: Virat Kohli is our captain option after 74 in the opener. Anshul Kamboj is a vice-captain option after 2/22 in ten overs; a bowler-led choice depends on his confirmed role and the match conditions.
