New Zealand's predicted playing XI for the 5th ODI against India

Bowlers - Todd Astle, Matt Henry and Trent Boult

New Zealand v India - ODI Game 4

Todd Astle was also drafted into the squad for the final two games and an impressive performance in the fourth ODI would have helped the leg spinner to seal his place for the fifth ODI.

Matt Henry's raw pace helped the Kiwis side build some pressure over the Indian team in Hamilton. The pacer troubled the Indian batsmen but failed to pick up a single wicket in that innings. Henry would surely be looking to grab some wickets at Wellington.

Trent Boult has been the spearhead of the New Zealand bowling attack since 2015 and at Hamilton, he proved why he is the best left-arm pacer of the modern era with a five-wicket haul. If New Zealand wish to win the fifth ODI, the pace battery of the team should come to the party just like they did in the previous encounter.
