Re: Cricket: New Zealand vs India Twenty20 Internationals & ODI Series Going to go with just one for the 1st twenty20 because NZ are up in the air about their team. 5pts India to win 1st Twenty20 8/13 Ladbrokes I'm not a huge fan of taking away sides at such short odds in twenty20 cricket but I will allow myself a slight exception here because India are very strong in this format and they've picked a pretty strong squad. In fact, Tendulkar aside, it's probably the strongest squad they could pick. New Zealand have decided to rest one or two. There's no James Franklin or Kyle Mills or indeed Jeetan Patel for this series. New Zealand also have injury doubts over Ross Taylor and Jacob Oram for this 1st match and the gut feeling is with a big tour coming up that neither will be risked unless they are totally fit. India don't seem to have any problems and given that they'll defend their world crown in a little over 3 months time I'm sure they'll use this as a decent run out before that and I think they'll come out with the win.
