India vs New Zealand Live Score Updates, World Cup 2023: India won the toss and elected to bat first at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. Rohit Sharma has made two changes to his playing XI following Hardik Pandya’s injury, with Surya Kumar Yadav and Mohammed Shami making their first appearances of the ODI World Cup today. The top two teams on the points table are the only ones in the tournament to have not lost a match so far.
Hosts India, led by skipper Rohit Sharma, have been in excellent form at this year’s tournament, dominating all their opponents to record impressive victories so far. India have been arguably the most composed side at this year’s ICC World Cup, with both the batting and bowling units getting the job done for the Men in Blue.
New Zealand, on the other hand, started their campaign with a resounding victory over England in the tournament opener and have only gone from strength to strength since. Despite the absence of their skipper and arguably their most reliable middle-order batsman – Kane Williamson – the Kiwis have still managed to win all their matches convincingly.
In recent years, the rivalry between the two teams has been growing, with New Zealand knocking India out of the 2019 World Cup with a heartbreaking semi-final defeat and then beating them again to win the inaugural World Test Championship.
Where are India and New Zealand placed on the points table?
While India and New Zealand have both been victorious in 4 encounters so far and hold 8 points, the Kiwis top the ICC World Cup points table due to a superior net run rate of + 1.923 compared to + 1.659 for India. However, despite the lower net run rate if India can manage to win the key clash in Dharamshala, they will be the top side on the points table.

But again, Surya has also come into some great form against Australia, as we saw. Played a couple of fantastic innings. Absolutely fantastic player against spin, as we know. Left arm spin or off-spin, or any kind of spin, for that matter,”
IND vs NZ Live: Dinesh Karthik gives pitch report

You can either play Ishan Kishan or Suryakumar Yadav as a pure batter. We are playing Shardul Thakur because of his all-rounder abilities. I think you should bring Mohammed Shami in his place as he can give you solid 10 overs,”

They’re playing some fantastic cricket, which is great to see. On the back of that, I see two form teams that are playing some good cricket, so it’s going to be a great contest tomorrow. Over recent years, we’ve had some great games of cricket, whether here in India or back home in New Zealand. So, I’m sure tomorrow the clash will be no different and I’m sure both sides are really looking forward to it,”
India vs New Zealand Live: ‘India favourites to win the competition’, says former Kiwi batter Ross Taylor

While talking about how the Indian crowds will affect the performance of Kiwis, Taylor wrote, “The crowd will naturally play a part but I think New Zealand will thrive in that atmosphere. Every time you come here, you play in front of full crowds and you know you will be up against it. But at the same time, that’s what you like about playing at World Cups, you want to play in front of full stadiums and test yourself against the best. The crowds here are very vocal but very fair at the same time,”

India vs New Zealand Live: Speaking to Star Sports, Kohli said, “They are a very professional side and a very structured side, they have a very structured way of playing their cricket. But within that structure, they have been very consistent and that has been the reason for their success. Credit to the side for the way that they are playing. Any team that plays against them has to find a way to break their rhythm and playing to the best of their abilities which will eventually decide whether you can cope up with their consistency or not because they are not a team that makes many mistakes. That’s been their strength and at the international level if you don’t make many mistakes then you have a good chance of winning the game more often,”
IND vs NZ Live: Rahul Dravid speaks about the abscence of Hardik Pandya
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Dravid said, “…obviously, he (Hardik) is an important player for us, so we will have to work around that and see what is the best combination that we can come up with. We will have to see what works best for these conditions and these wickets. But probably might not have the kind of balance that we probably used in the first four games,”
“I mean, in the end, we have got to work with the 14 that we have got. Sometimes you do expect that this kind of thing can happen, so that’s why you have got a squad. We will have to see what works best under these conditions and these wickets. But yeah, probably might not have the kind of balance that we probably used in the first four games,” Dravid added.
