Since his debut against New Zealand in early 2023, Siraj has consistently troubled their top order with swing, seam movement, and disciplined lines.
Siraj’s ODI record against New Zealand now spans seven matches, with impactful spells in conditions ranging from Hyderabad to Dharamsala to the recently concluded 2026 series. His fiery 4/46 in Hyderabad remains the benchmark, while a tight spell in the 3rd ODI at Indore reflected his improved control in flat batting conditions.
