India are all set to tour New Zealand for a limited-overs series post the 20-20 World Cup in Australia. The two teams will face off in a three-match T20I series followed by a 3-match ODI series. The T20I matches will be played at Wellington, Tauranga and Napier while the ODI games will be played at Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch. The series will be held between November 18 to 30.

India last toured New Zealand in 2020 where the two teams got involved in a thrilling T20 series which featured 2 tied games back-to-back, India won the series 5-0. The ODI series was won by New Zealand by 3-0.

"India will arrive in New Zealand at the conclusion of the world cup to play the BLACKCAPS in three T20s at Wellington, Tauranga and Napier, and three ODIs at Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch," NZC said in a release.

The two teams are having a fierce rivalry in major tournaments as India have not beaten the blackcaps since the 2003 ODI world cup. In recent times, New Zealand have knocked out India in the 2019 ODI world cup, 2021 Test Championship final and 2021 20-20 world cup. India will be eager to take revenge for their recent losses against the kiwis.

New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said the upcoming season holds great promise for both the women's and men's teams.

"Last summer's Women's World Cup did so much to promote the game, and it will be great to see the WHITE FERNS in action right around the country.

"And to have India, England and Sri Lanka touring here, on top of visits from Pakistan and Bangladesh, means cricket fans can look forward to a summer of top-quality cricket," White said in a media release.

The NZC chief also confirmed that ticket prices at all the games would remain the same as last year's discounted levels.

They would go on sale to the general public this morning.
