World Cups. These two teams have faced off 9 times so far in ICC World Cups. New Zealand have won 5 of those, India 3 and one produced no results.
The last time these two met in a World Cup match in 2019, it was abandoned. In the same year, India and New Zealand played the semi-final. While chasing 239, India went 24/4.
A gutsy 77 off 59 balls from Ravindra Jadeja was not enough. India lost it by 18 runs. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Devon Conway, Will Young, Virat Kohli (C), KL Rahul (WK), Daryl Mitchell, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Lockie Ferguson (VC) and Trent Boult.
Fast bowlers have always thrived on the pitch of the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. However, it has the potential to become a batter's paradise later in the innings. Surprisingly, spinners had a good run for Bangladesh in their last encounter against Afghanistan.
As a result, the pitch is up to interpretation. With Hardik Pandya ruled out, India may opt for Mohammed Shami as the pitch seems favourable. In Dharamshala, the forecast suggests a 24% chance of rain and the temperature is predicted to be cool at 19 degrees at its highest, as per Weather.com.
The temperature will go further down during the evening. As per Google’s win probability, there is a 67% chance that India will be victorious in this match and continue their unbeaten record. As per CricTracker, no matter which team bats first, India will win the match.
