The New Zealand bowling is again looking pretty weak. I think since you have just 12 players, you might as well add James Franklyn and Chris Martin to the squad.
India right on track with big win!
INDIA OFF WITH A BANG!
India have started the tour in tremendous fashion, scripting a very easy win against the Northern Districts on a nasty wet pitch that is not fit for even club cricket! Northern Districts started off well but soon found themselves in a deep pit when they were bowled out for 77 off 17 overs! Zaheer Khan did the damage for the Indians picking up 5/48 in 8 overs. India then romped home with nearly 40 overs to spare in what is considered to be the worst of the tour practice matches! Though the Indians didnt get adequate match practice, they must be certainly boosted in their own confidence after starting the tour in the right earnest by winning the match!
Screenshots:
Ajay Jadeja got off into his groove winning the match for India. He remained unbeaten on 17* off 18 balls. Sachin Tendulkar scored a quickfire 35 off 26 balls.
India start off the triangular series with their first match against England at Dunedin. And according to the NZB officials, a good Hard batting wicket is promised for the first one dayer!

Congrats on the win, though I think you could have done by posting a few more details about the match.

Eventhough its good win for India, 4 wkts to lose is a big fault for them

Yeah the scorecard would do.
I too dont give much details of the tour matches, but I always provide the scorecards.

India and England gear up for what promises to be an exciting triangular series where New Zealand, the hosts, are the third team of the tournament. The first match is between India and England at Dunedin. This Adidas Triangular series starts officially tomorrow with the first ODI.
The pitch as usual, is the 22 yard strip that attracts the most attention. The curator of Dunedin recently told us that the wicket would be very Hard and true and devoid of any grass. Which is surprising because New Zealand wickets always sport a tinge of grass. This will be a run feast between the two sides who have some world class and exciting batsmen lined up in their ranks.
India are brimming with confidence after crushing the Northern Districts by 6 wickets. This victory, along with the final ODI win against Sri Lanka will surely boost their spirits.
England on the other hand have come out of a hard fought tour in South Africa where they lost the ODI series to the South Africans. Micheal Vaughan, who was interviewed yesterday, said he has left that ODI series loss against South Africa behind and wishes to have a fresh start to this triangular campaign
The Indian team will have some changes from the last ODI match they played against Sri Lanka. Rahul Dravid will captain the side here in the absence of Saurav Ganguly. Ajay Jadeja will play the first game. Here is the Indian final 11 players
Indian final 11: Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Ajay Jadeja, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Kaif, MS Dhoni, Ajit Agarkar, Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan, Anil Kumble
The England final XI is yet to be announced. The players are practising heavily. The stadium is being arranged for the start of this exciting series and the buzz around New Zealand is very encouraging about this series which features some of the top teams in international cricket!

India vs England - Match conditions
Match Conditions and Series explanations!
Pitch: Hard
Status: Day/Night game
Overs: 50
Kits: Latest England and India kits
Roster: Boss's CGPv3 IRCU roster (but with updated England and India teams!)
Other updates: Boss's field settings v3, Boss advance cover drive fix v3, Boss Camera settings v3
AI patch: Tutsi 8.0 (released version!)
The toss is going to be of prime importance in this match as the ball here would have some swing in the night (Read Tutsi 8.0 patch's new toss importance feature here). I am not going to use Sam's exe as it does not allow me to use the cursor while batting and I do not wish to take advantage by bowling with Sam's new exe and batting with the old one! The advanced shots will be included in the coming matches but only in limited amounts (as run scoring without them it pretty tough with Tutsi's latest patch!)
Series Explanation: In the case of any match being a tie or is rained off after the 25th over of the second innings, the side that has a better run rate in that match would be awarded the points. For example, India scored 280/10 off 45 overs and New Zealand scores 280/10 in 47 overs and the match is a tie, India would be awarded the full 4 match points because they have achieved 280 in lesser number of overs. Same with rained games. If the 25 overs of the second batting side is over and the match is rained off, then the score at the 25 over mark of both sides are compared and the side which is ahead at the 25 over mark gets the full 4 match points.
Also, if a side is bowled out within the 40th over of their innings or is bowled out below 200, then the other side gets a bonus point.

England elect to bat first!
India vs England - First One Day International
The first one day international between India and England is to get underway here at Dunedin, New Zealand. Lets get down with Martin Crowe for the pitch report!
Martin Crowe: This pitch looks to be an absolute batsmen's paradise. The ball will come on easily to the bat and the bowlers are going to have a hard toil on the field. However in the night with the ball swinging, the second bowling team might find some respite.
Stage set for the series to start. Martin Crowe down with the two captains. Crowe tosses the coin and Vaughan calls Tails. Dravid in anticipation of the result. Unfortunately for him, Tails it is!
Crowe: Your call Vaughan?
Vaughan: We would love to bat first. The wicket is surprisingly full of runs. If we can get a good total, we should be in a good position.
Crowe: Are you guys ready for this tournament?
Vaughan: Yes we are. We have prepared really well after the ODI series loss against South Africa. We are determined to play well here and win. We are hopeful to winning this ODI trophy
Crowe: Good luck Vaughan. Good afternoon Dravid. Disappointed at losing the toss?
Dravid: Not really. We are capable of chasing a total and our bowlers are capable of restricting the opposition to a low score. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
Crowe: Hows the atmosphere in the dressing room after the inclusion of Jadeja?
Dravid: Its the same as it was before. In fact, with Jadeja in, its more fun and frolic. No one has any problems with him and he is now considered a senior to many in the side including me!
Crowe: Good luck Dravid. So gentlemen, this is the first match of the tournament and England are batting first!
Lets look at the two teams first!
The Indian players run onto the field and the England opening batsmen are down on the wicket. Its time to join our Channel Nine commentators!
