India vs New Zealand Live Score: Hello and welcome to live coverage of IND vs NZ ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match. India vs New Zealand ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 match will take place on October 22, 2023 at 14:00 IST at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. India vs New Zealand ODI World Cup 2023 match is expected to be a thriller. The teams of India and New Zealand will square off in the 21st match of ICC World Cup 2023 tournament on Sunday (October 22) at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.
Both India and New Zealand have maintained a flawless record so far, having won all four of their matches. New Zealand currently leads the pack with an impressive net run rate of 1.923, closely followed by India, who also boasts a strong NRR of 1.659.
Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, enter this match on the back of a convincing seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh, while the Black Caps dominated Afghanistan with a 149-run win in their last game. This upcoming showdown promises to be a thrilling contest, as both sides are yet to experience a defeat in the tournament.
However, India has encountered a significant setback with the absence of their star all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, who suffered an ankle injury during the match against Bangladesh in Pune. Due to his unavailability, the team lineup is expected to undergo at least two changes. Most likely, Suryakumar Yadav or Ishan Kishan will step in for Hardik, and Mohammed Shami will likely replace Shardul Thakur in the number 8 position to strengthen the pace bowling attack.
Shifting our focus to New Zealand's bowling attack, considering their strong performances, Tim Southee may need to spend more time on the sidelines. Unfortunately, Kane Williamson is still sidelined with a thumb injury, so it's unlikely that New Zealand will make any changes to their lineup.
Probable XI for India and New Zealand
India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav / Ishan Kishan, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur / Mohammad Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
New Zealand: Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Tom Latham (c, wk), Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
IND vs NZ: Curtains Down
So India with five out of five wins go top of the table. More or less assured of a place in the semis but they shouldn't breathe easy as yet. They have four more league matches remainig before the knockout stage. New Zealand fought hard but were second best. Shami for his incredible performance, playing his first match this World Cup, was adjudged the Player Of the Match and fittingly so as New Zealand seemed to be in a great position until Shami & Co. returned to keep them down to 273. For now, that's it from our coverage of this game. We at ABP LIVE will be back with our coverage of other World Cup 2023 fixtures including India's next game against England in Lucknow.
