What is India's record in ODIs in Auckland?
Auckland has proved to be a difficult venue for India in one-day internationals. Across 11 ODIs played at the ground, India have won four, lost six and tied one, a record that underlines how the balance of results at this venue has consistently favoured the home side.
The bilateral history at Auckland stretches back to February 22, 1976, when the two nations met there for the first time in an ODI. That fixture was among the earliest limited-overs contests between India and New Zealand, and it set the foundation for what has since grown into a long sequence of matches at the ground spanning five decades.
What does India's overall ODI record at Auckland look like?
Of the 11 ODIs India have played in Auckland, four have ended in Indian victories while New Zealand have won six. One match between the sides finished as a tie, leaving India in a clear deficit at this particular venue. The record contrasts with India's broader bilateral standing against New Zealand in ODIs, where the overall numbers are more competitive.
The first meeting at the ground on February 22, 1976 was also one of the earliest ODIs the two countries played against each other anywhere. Since then, Auckland has hosted multiple series across different eras, though the home side has held the upper hand more often than not.

What happened in the most recent ODI between India and New Zealand in Auckland?
The most recent ODI at Auckland was played on November 25, 2022, and New Zealand won it by seven wickets. India batted first and posted 306/7 in their allotted overs. Half-centuries from Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer provided the backbone of the innings, though the total ultimately proved insufficient.
Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson each took three wickets for New Zealand, sharing the bulk of the bowling honours between them. Umran Malik was India's most successful bowler in the chase, finishing with two wickets.
New Zealand overhauled the target of 306 in 47.1 overs, finishing on 309/3. Tom Latham was the standout performer with an unbeaten 145, anchoring the chase from start to finish. Kane Williamson also contributed a fifty as New Zealand closed out the match with nearly three overs remaining. The manner of the win, seven wickets in hand and the target reached with comfort, illustrated how commanding the home side were throughout the afternoon at Eden Park.
