India vs New Zealand Head-to-Head Record in All Formats
India has won more men’s international matches against New Zealand across Tests, ODIs and T20Is.

Overall Head-to-Head Statistics
IND vs NZ: Complete head-to-head record
Men’s internationals • Through March 8, 2026
| Format | Matches | IND wins | NZ wins | Other |
| Tests | 65 | 22 | 16 | 27 |
| ODIs | 123 | 63 | 52 | 8 |
| T20Is | 31 | 19 | 11 | 1 |
| Total | 219 | 104 | 79 | 36 |
Sources: myKhel’s format-specific records. Other results consist of 27 Test draws, seven ODI no-results, one ODI tie and one T20I tie. The two Indian Super Over victories are included in the T20I win column.
India’s largest numerical advantage is in ODIs, where it has 63 wins compared with New Zealand’s 52. The Test record shows 22 Indian victories and 16 New Zealand victories, while the T20I tally is 19-11 when Super Over results are credited.
These statistics count individual international matches, not bilateral series. Winning a five-match series 4-1, for example, adds four victories to the winning team’s head-to-head total, not one.
Which Team Has More Victories Overall?
India leads by 25 credited victories across all three formats combined.
The comparison is useful as a historical summary, but it does not tell the complete story of individual tournaments. New Zealand has won several major encounters, including the 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final and the inaugural World Test Championship final in 2021.
For a meaningful comparison, always check which format or competition the record covers.
IND vs NZ Head-to-Head in Tests, ODIs and T20Is
Each international format has a different match length, playing conditions, and result structure. Separating them gives a clearer picture than relying on the combined record alone.
Test Cricket Head-to-Head Record
India and New Zealand have played 65 Tests. India has won 22, New Zealand has won 16, and 27 have finished as draws.l
India’s historical advantage did not prevent New Zealand from achieving a significant result in October and November 2024.
The Black Caps won all three Tests in India:
- Bengaluru: New Zealand won by eight wickets.
- Pune: New Zealand won by 113 runs.
- Mumbai: New Zealand won by 25 runs.
The 3-0 result made New Zealand the first visiting team to complete a three-Test series whitewash in India.
A Test draw means the match ends without a winner, commonly because the available playing time expires. It is not recorded as a victory for either team.
ODI Head-to-Head Record
The teams have contested 123 One Day Internationals, producing 63 Indian wins, 52 New Zealand wins, seven no-results and one tie.
India’s record includes victories in the 2023 World Cup semi-final and 2025 Champions Trophy final. New Zealand, meanwhile, won the January 2026 ODI series in India.
That series was particularly notable because New Zealand had never previously won a bilateral ODI series on Indian soil. It achieved that milestone by winning the deciding match in Indore by 41 runs.
The ODI record therefore illustrates why the overall number of victories and the outcome of a particular series should be reported separately.
T20I Head-to-Head Record
The teams have completed 31 T20 Internationals.
Under a convention that credits Super Over results, India has 19 wins, New Zealand has 11, and one match remains tied.
India’s two Super Over victories came during its 2020 tour of New Zealand. The March 2026 World Cup final, in contrast, ended in a conventional 96-run victory without a tiebreaker.
There is another important distinction: the overall T20I record includes bilateral matches and World Cup encounters.
India has more credited wins in the overall T20I record, but New Zealand has won three of the four meetings between the teams at the men’s T20 World Cup.
India vs New Zealand in ICC Tournaments
Major ICC competitions have produced several significant encounters between these teams. The 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final, 2021 World Test Championship final and 2026 T20 World Cup final are particularly useful reference points.
However, ODI World Cups, T20 World Cups, the Champions Trophy and the World Test Championship are different competitions. Their records should not be combined when describing a particular tournament’s history.
ODI World Cup Encounters
New Zealand defeated India by 18 runs in the 2019 World Cup semi-final at Manchester. The rain-interrupted game extended across July 9 and 10. New Zealand scored 239/8 and dismissed India for 221.
India reversed that semi-final result in 2023.
At Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, Virat Kohli scored 117, and Shreyas Iyer made 105 as India posted 397/4. New Zealand replied with 327, giving India a 70-run victory and a place in the final.
Mohammed Shami’s seven wickets for 57 runs were a decisive contribution.
These two semi-finals demonstrate how the tournament record has developed across different editions rather than following a single pattern.
T20 World Cup Encounters
The teams have met four times in the men’s T20 World Cup through March 2026.
T20 World Cup head-to-head
| Year | Winner | Margin |
| 2007 | New Zealand | 10 runs |
| 2016 | New Zealand | 47 runs |
| 2021 | New Zealand | 8 wickets |
| 2026 | India | 96 runs |
1
India wins
3
New Zealand wins
New Zealand won the first three encounters before India registered its first T20 World Cup victory against the Black Caps in the 2026 final.
The tournament-specific record is different from the overall T20I record because it includes only World Cup matches.
World Test Championship and Champions Trophy Finals
The rivalry has also featured four meetings in major ICC tournament finals, including the World Test Championship.
| Year | Competition | Winner | Margin |
| 2000 | ICC KnockOut Trophy | New Zealand | 4 wickets |
| 2021 | World Test Championship | New Zealand | 8 wickets |
| 2025 | Champions Trophy | India | 4 wickets |
| 2026 | T20 World Cup | India | 96 runs |
The 2000 KnockOut Trophy was the predecessor of the modern Champions Trophy. Chris Cairns scored an unbeaten century to guide New Zealand to victory in Nairobi.
In 2021, New Zealand won the inaugural World Test Championship after chasing a target of 139 with eight wickets remaining.
India won the 2025 Champions Trophy final in Dubai and followed it with the 2026 T20 World Cup final victory in Ahmedabad.
Across these four finals, each team has two victories. That is a finals-only statistic, not the overall head-to-head record.
Recent India vs New Zealand Match and Series Results
The teams played two bilateral white-ball series in India during January 2026 before meeting again in the March T20 World Cup final.
The three contests produced different outcomes: New Zealand won the ODI series, while India won the T20I series and the World Cup final.

New Zealand won the three-match ODI series 2-1.
India took the opening match by four wickets, but New Zealand won the second ODI by seven wickets to level the series.

Arshdeep Singh took five wickets for 51 runs, helping India win the match by 46 runs. Ishan Kishan was named Player of the Match.
March 2026 T20 World Cup Final
The teams next met in the World Cup final in Ahmedabad, where India won by 96 runs.
Here is how the three contests concluded:
| Date | Competition | Outcome |
| January 18 | ODI series | New Zealand won 2-1 |
| January 31 | T20I series | India won 4-1 |
| March 8 | T20 World Cup final | India won by 96 runs |
The January figures refer to complete bilateral series, whereas the March entry refers to one World Cup match.

Where to Check Scores, Squads and Match Updates
For official announcements, follow New Zealand Cricket’s tour announcement and the International Cricket Council.
For individual fixtures and scorecards, use the complete match schedule.
Check the confirmed playing XI after the toss. A preliminary squad does not guarantee that every selected player will appear in a particular match.
Streaming and television arrangements should be checked close to the series because broadcast rights can vary by territory and platform.
Why Do Some India vs New Zealand Head-to-Head Records Differ?
Cricket statistics websites sometimes report different T20I win totals because they do not always present tied matches and Super Over victories in the same way.
For these two teams, the difference is explained by three T20Is: two tied matches resolved by Super Overs in January 2020 and a DLS tie in November 2022.
Both of the 2020 tiebreakers were won by India.
How Super Over Victories Affect the Record
On January 29, 2020, the third T20I finished level before Rohit Sharma helped India win the Super Over.
Two days later, the fourth T20I also ended with identical regulation scores, and India again won the Super Over.
This produces two valid ways to display the historical record:
| Counting method | India wins | NZ wins | Ties |
| Credit Super Over wins | 19 | 11 | 1 |
| Regulation-time results | 17 | 11 | 3 |
Both rows account for the same 31 matches. The first credits the tiebreaker results; the second preserves the original tied scores separately.
The first method is used in this article’s main head-to-head table.
Why the 2022 DLS Tie Matters
The third T20I in Napier on November 22, 2022, finished tied under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
New Zealand had scored 160, and India reached 75/4 after nine overs. When rain prevented further play, India’s total matched the DLS par score.
The match was officially tied, with no Super Over played and no winner declared.
It therefore remains in the tied column under either counting method.
How to Interpret Draws, Ties and No-Results
These terms describe different outcomes:
| Term | Meaning |
| Win | A team is officially awarded victory. |
| Draw | A Test ends without either team winning. |
| Tie | Teams finish level under the applicable scoring rules. |
| No result | No official result can be obtained. |
| Super Over win | A tied limited-overs match is decided by a tiebreaker. |
When checking historical totals, look for an explanation of how Super Overs are treated. Otherwise, two accurate-looking tables may appear to contradict one another.
How to Verify India vs New Zealand Cricket Statistics
Head-to-head records change whenever the teams complete another international match. A reliable article should therefore explain its sources and state when the figures were last checked.
Use Official Scorecards and Format Filters
Follow these steps when checking a historical record:
- Select the men’s international teams rather than domestic or women’s competitions.
- Separate Tests, ODIs and T20Is.
- Check the latest match included in each dataset.
- Record victories, defeats, draws, ties, and no-results.
- Check whether Super Over victories are included in the win column.
- Recalculate the totals after every new international encounter.
The combined figures should account for every match exactly once.
For example, the ODI dataset contains 123 games: 63 Indian wins, 52 New Zealand wins, seven no-results and one tie. Together, those categories total 123.
Keep the Historical Record Updated
The statistics in this article cover matches completed through March 8, 2026.
The official fixture schedule was checked on September 22, 2026.
After each match in the upcoming tour, update the relevant format’s record, overall total, and latest-match section. Maintain the same Super Over counting convention throughout.
