India vs New Zealand match will take place today as the 21st match of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. India has previously won all four matches that it has played by defeating Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. New Zealand, too, shares the same record with four victories in its account by winning against England, Netherlands, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. On the World Cup 2023 score table, both India and New Zealand share 8 points each. Sunday’s match will be crucial for both teams as it will break the winning streak for one side.
India’s vice-captain Hardik Pandya, who was injured during the previous clash against Bangladesh, is set to miss the match against New Zealand. He has flown to NCA in Bangalore to get treated for the injury. Pandya is expected to join the team on October 29 for the match against England. Who gets added to the team as his replacement is yet to be seen. Suryakumar Yadav and Mohammad Shami stand a great chance to get a place in the team. There are also high expectations from Virat Kohli, who hit a century in the previous game.
Meanwhile, New Zealand comes to the field with a strong field and a winning record. Skipper Kane Williamson will miss the match due to his thumb injury. A lot is expected from Kiwis as they come with the full strength of Tom Latham, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, and Mitchell Santner.
The match will begin at 2 pm IST and take place at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala.
