The ODI leg of India's tour of New Zealand starts on Wednesday 4 November 2026, and it is a different schedule from the T20I leg you have just watched.
T20Is started at 12:30 PM IST. ODIs start at 7:30 AM IST . Tests start at 3:30 AM IST. If you set your alarm for 12:30 PM for an ODI, you will miss the first innings.
This is the full ODI schedule in IST, with dates, venues, timings, captains, broadcast, and a checklist you can use for each match — and a simple way to save it, so you don't have to search for it again on match morning.
The ODI schedule in IST: at a glance
Toss: 7:00 AM IST, 30 minutes before the start, for all five ODIs.
Broadcast in India: Sony Sports Network on TV, Sony LIV for streaming.
Broadcast in New Zealand: Sky Sport, at 3:00 PM local.

Checklist: before the ODI series starts
Use this checklist once, before 4 November, and you will not have to check timings again during the series.
[ ] Set five alarms, all for 7:00 AM IST, not 7:30 AM
Set one alarm for 7:00 AM IST on 4, 7, 10, 13 and 15 November, for the toss. The match starts at 7:30 AM IST, but the toss, the XI, and the pitch report are at 7:00 AM IST. If you wake up at 7:30 AM, you will miss the cough.
[ ] Save the broadcast, not a search link
In India, the ODIs are on Sony Sports Network on TV and Sony LIV for streaming. Save Sony LIV in your apps, and check that your subscription is active before 4 November, not on match morning.
[ ] Note the captain change
India have split ODI squads, because the Test series starts in Wellington on 19 November:
- First three ODIs: Shubman Gill (captain), Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain)
- Last two ODIs: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Ishan Kishan (vice-captain)
New Zealand also have split ODI squads, with Mitchell Santner leading the first three ODIs.
That means the XI on 4 November will not be the same XI on 15 November, even if the core is the same. Check the toss XI at 7:00 AM IST for each match, do not assume the XI from the previous ODI.
[ ] Note who is back, and who is missing
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are named in both ODI squads, for the first three and the last two ODIs. They did not play in the T20I series, and they will play in the ODI leg.
Jasprit Bumrah is missing the ODI leg, as he was missing the T20I leg, and is selected only for the Tests. Hardik Pandya is not in the ODI squads, in the sources used for this draft.
Prasidh Krishna's ODI inclusion was originally subject to fitness clearance, while a report on 28 October said he had been ruled out of the ODI series and was racing to be fit for the Tests. Check the latest BCCI update before the first ODI on 4 November, before assuming he will play.
[ ] Note the format change
An ODI is 50 overs per side, not 20. A match that starts at 7:30 AM IST will finish in the early afternoon in India, usually around 3:00-3:30 PM IST, depending on the innings break and any delays. Do not plan a 12:30 PM finish, as you would for a T20I. Plan for a full day of cricket, with a lunch break in the middle of the match in New Zealand, which is in the morning in India.
1st ODI: Wednesday 4 November, Eden Park, Auckland, 7:30 AM IST
Venue: Eden Park, Auckland
Toss: 7:00 AM IST
Start: 7:30 AM IST / 3:00 PM Venue
Captains: Shubman Gill (India, first three ODIs) vs Mitchell Santner (New Zealand, first three ODIs)
Eden Park in ODIs is a batting-friendly ground, with an ODI first-innings average of 222.6 across all 67 full-length deciding games, rising to 257.7 in 11 games since 2015, and 285.8 in 4 games since 2019. That means a total of 280-plus is possible in Auckland, and a total of 250 is competitive, not low.
This is also the ground where New Zealand beat India by 87 runs in the T20I on 30 October, posting 259 for 7, with Glenn Phillips making 107 off 49. That T20I result does not decide the ODI, but it does mean New Zealand will be confident at Eden Park, and India will need to start the ODI leg with a response.
Checklist for November 4th:
- Alarm 7:00 AM IST for toss, Gill vs Santner
- Check if Rohit and Kohli are in the XI, and where they bat
- Check if Prasidh Krishna is fit to play, or ruled out
- Watch Phillips' form in 50 overs, after his T20I form in this series
2nd ODI: Saturday 7 November, Wellington, 7:30 AM IST
Venue: Wellington — the ODI venue is Wellington, with the Test at Basin Reserve, Wellington, starting on 19 November, as a separate match at a separate ground in the same city. The ODI venue name in the schedule used for this draft is Wellington, without a specific ODI ground name given in the sources used, so check the official fixture for the exact ODI ground in Wellington before the match.
Toss: 7:00 AM IST
Start: 7:30 AM IST / 3:00 PM local
Captains: Gill vs Santner, for the second of the first three ODIs
Saturday 7 November is the only Saturday ODI in the series, and it is also the day the India A third unofficial Test starts at Lincoln, with Bumrah and Rishabh Pant expected to play as a comeback match. That Test is a separate match, not the ODI, but it means 7 November is a busy day for Indian cricket, with an ODI in Wellington and an India A match in Lincoln on the same day.
Checklist for November 7th:
- Alarm 7:00 AM IST for cough
- Check the series score after Auckland: is it 1-0, 0-1, or 1-1 after the first two ODIs?
- Watch the middle overs: Santner's left-arm spin in ODIs, and India's spinners in Wellington conditions
3rd ODI: Tuesday 10 November, Seddon Park, Hamilton, 7:30 AM IST
Venue: Seddon Park, Hamilton
Toss: 7:00 AM IST
Start: 7:30 AM IST / 3:00 PM venue
Captains: Gill vs Santner, for the last of the first three ODIs
Hamilton is the ground where the final T20I was played on 1 November, at Seddon Park, with a T20I first-innings average of about 179.6, rising to 191.3 in decided games since 2018. In ODIs, Seddon Park has a first-innings average of 245.0 across 34 matches, rising to 260.4 across 19 matches since 2014, and 227.6 across 8 since 2019, with the last two ODIs there — England 175 in October 2025 and West Indies 161 in November, both bowled out and both chased down — showing that Hamilton can produce low totals as well as high ones.
Checklist for November 10th:
- Alarm 7:00 AM IST for cough
- Check if the series is decided after three ODIs, or if it goes to the last two
- Note that this is Gill's last ODI as captain in this series, before Iyer takes over for the last two
4th ODI: Friday 13 November, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, 7:30 AM IST
Venue: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui
Toss: 7:00 AM IST
Start: 7:30 AM IST / 3:00 PM venue
Captains: Shreyas Iyer (India, last two ODIs) vs New Zealand captain for the last two ODIs, not detailed in the sources used for this draft — check the squad announcement before 13 November
This is the first of two ODIs at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on consecutive weekends, and the first ODI with a new India captain in this series. Iyer captained India in the T20I series, winning the first three T20Is and losing in Auckland, for a series lead of 3-1 before Hamilton. In ODIs, he will captain the last two matches, with Kishan as vice-captain.
India's squad changes for the last two ODIs: Tilak Varma, Auqib Nabi, Kumar Kushagra (maiden call-up) and Yash Thakur come in, while Gill, KL Rahul, Anshul Kamboj and Prasidh Krishna are only in the first-three squad.
New Zealand's squad also changes for the last two ODIs, with Finn Allen, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Seifert and Mitch Hay among the changes.
Checklist for November 13th:
- Alarm 7:00 AM IST for toss, Iyer as captain now
- Check the new XI: Tilak, Auqib, Kushagra and Yash Thakur in, Gill and Rahul out
- Check if Kushagra makes his ODI debut, after being squad cover in the T20Is
5th ODI: Sunday 15 November, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, 7:30 AM IST
Venue: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui
Toss: 7:00 AM IST
Start: 7:30 AM IST / 3:00 PM local
Captains: Iyer vs New Zealand captain for the last two ODIs
Sunday 15 November is the final ODI of the series, and it is also IPL retention day in India, with franchises submitting their retained and released lists to the BCCI on the same day. That does not affect the ODI, but it means 15 November is a busy day for Indian cricket, with an ODI in Mount Maunganui in the morning in India, and retention lists in the afternoon and evening.
Checklist for November 15th:
- Alarm 7:00 AM IST for cough
- Check the series score before the final ODI: is it 2-2, 3-1, 4-0, or already decided?
- Watch the final ODI as the last white-ball match before the Tests start on 19 November in Wellington

What the ODI schedule means: T20I form vs ODI form
The T20I series, which India leads 3-1 after Auckland, with Hamilton on 1 November still to play, does not decide the ODI series.
New Zealand won the last ODI series between these sides 2-1 in India in January 2026, with wins in Indore by 41 runs and Rajkot by 7 wickets, and a loss in Vadodara by 4 wickets. In that series, New Zealand posted 337 for 8, 286 for 3 and 300 for 8 in three ODIs in India.
India lead the ODI head-to-head 63-52 in 123 matches, with 1 tied and 7 no results, before November 2026, but New Zealand won the last series, and they are at home in November.
The ODI schedule gives New Zealand five chances to win an ODI, not one, and it gives India five chances to show that their ODI team, with Rohit and Kohli back, is stronger than their T20I team, even without Bumrah and Hardik Pandya.

Final thoughts
The ODI schedule in IST is simple, once you know it: five matches, five venues, all at 7:30 AM IST, from 4 to 15 November, with a captain change after the third ODI, and with Rohit and Kohli back in the XI.
Set five alarms for 7:00 AM IST, save the broadcast, and check the toss XI for each match, because the XI will change after the third ODI, and because Prasidh Krishna's fitness, Kushagra's debut, and the New Zealand squad changes for the last two ODIs will all be decided at the toss.
If you do that, you will not miss a toss, you will not miss a start, and you will not confuse an ODI start time with a T20I start time again.
