Has India ever won a ODI series in New Zealand? IND vs NZ full head-to-head record, series results in One-day cricket listed

India have won two of the 10 ODI series they have played in New Zealand , in 2008/09 and 2018/19, and begin their 11th there on November 4.

India lead the overall ODI head-to-head 63-52 from 123 matches, with one tie and seven no results.

New Zealand lead 26-14 in matches played on their own soil, where India have never won more than four in a series.

India's ODI record in New Zealand ahead of the November 4 series opener

India begin a five-match ODI series at Eden Park in Auckland on Wednesday, November 4, having taken the T20I leg 3-2 and with two Tests to follow before the tour ends on December 1. The 50-over leg moves on to Wellington, Hamilton and then Bay Oval in Tauranga for the last two.

The recent record between the sides in this format belongs to New Zealand. They won 2-1 in India in January, their first ODI series victory on Indian soil, after India had won the Champions Trophy semi-final meeting in Dubai in March 2025.

New Zealand has long been the harder assignment of the two. India have toured for 10 ODI series there since 1975/76 and won two, drawing two and losing the other six, which makes it the fixture's most lopsided split.

Across all venues, India lead 63-52 from 123 matches, with the tie coming at Auckland in January 2014 and seven matches ending without a result. New Zealand have the edge at neutral venues as well, having won the 2000 ICC KnockOut final in Nairobi and their group meeting at the 1999, 1979 and 1975 World Cups among others.

India's biggest win in the fixture came at home, by 190 runs in Visakhapatnam on October 29, 2016. They also swept New Zealand 5-0 in India in 2010/11, winning in Guwahati, Jaipur, Vadodara, Bengaluru and Chennai.

New Zealand's 10 wins in India are spread thinly, and until this January they had never strung enough together to take a series there. They managed it in 2025/26, winning in Rajkot by seven wickets and Indore by 41 runs after losing the opener in Vadodara.

India vs New Zealand ODI head-to-head record away

New Zealand's home advantage in this fixture is substantial. They have won 26 of the 45 ODIs played there against India's 14, with one tie at Auckland in 2014 and four matches producing no result.

India vs New Zealand ODI head-to-head record in New Zealand

India's biggest win in New Zealand is by 90 runs, at Mount Maunganui on January 26, 2019, during their most successful tour there. New Zealand's heaviest home win over India came by 108 runs at Dunedin in March 1990.

The 2019 tour accounts for a good share of India's total. They won the first three at Napier and Mount Maunganui, lost the fourth in Hamilton by eight wickets and then took the fifth in Wellington by 35 runs for a 4-1 result.

Since then, India have not won an ODI in New Zealand. They lost all three in 2019/20 and then went down in Auckland in November 2022 before rain washed out the remaining two matches in Hamilton and Christchurch.

India and New Zealand have played 18 bilateral ODI series, of which India have won nine, New Zealand seven and two were drawn. India's record at home is 7-1, while in New Zealand they trail 6-2 with two draws.

India's two series wins in New Zealand came 10 years apart, 3-1 in 2008/09 and 4-1 in 2018/19. The 2008/09 result was India's first ever ODI series victory in the country, 33 years after they first toured.

The drawn series are worth noting too. India came from behind to level 2-2 in 1993/94 and did the same in 1998/99, where a washout in Wellington left the five-match series tied.

So the answer is yes, twice in 10 attempts, and not since Virat Kohli's side won there in early 2019. The series that begins in Auckland on November 4 will be India's 11th ODI tour of New Zealand and their sixth five-match series in the country.
