IND vs NZ Live score: NZ 53/2 in 12.3 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score World Cup 2023: Well, well, well chances of those hills behind the stadium suddenly shedding its greens and whites is a highly unlikely event. Well, so was Jadeja dropping a catch but that is exactly what happened after the boundary was hit. Shami sends the fifth in at a good length outside off, Ravindra drives with an open face, slices it in the air to Jadeja's left and he spills it. Two dots after that.

IND vs NZ Live score: NZ 40/2 in 11 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score World Cup 2023: India vs New Zealand Live Score World Cup 2023: Good length from Shami for the 4th ball of the 11th, Ravindra elegantly clips it past mid-on. He moves to seven off five with that shot.

IND vs NZ Live score: NZ 40/2 in 10.4 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score World Cup 2023: Well it seems Siraj is a bit too pumped up at the moment. He bowled two wides before the fourth ball of the 10th over was hit for four by Daryl Mitchell. Then Siraj gives Mitchell a little piece of his mind with a couple of bouncers, except the last ball is called a wide, to his and the batter's surprise. He then sends in a second wide before finally finishing that over. But this has overall been an excellent show from the Indian team. Run rate is 3.40 at the end of the first powerplay.

IND vs NZ Live score: NZ - 34/2 in 10 overs

IND vs NZ Live Score: SHAMI WITH HIS FIRST BALL OF THE MATCH! Relentless pressure from India and a change in the bowlers brings the wicket. Just vintage Shami, shorter side of length on off, nips in just a bit and Young chops on. New Zealand in a tomato soup early on. Shami has now gone past Anil Kumble as the third highest wicket taker of all time for India in the World Cup.

Young b Mohammed Shami 17 (27)

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Well that was bizarre. Third ball of the fifth, at a length and angling into Ravinda's pads. The bowler Bumrah didn't even appeal and it seemed to be only KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma who were excited. Rohit actually ends up going for the review and Bumrah seems to be telling him after that he made a mistake. Normally it's the bowler whose judgement should not be trusted. It is umpire's call on impact and missing the wickets. The Indians seemed to know that they are not getting this even before the replays were played completely as they were all back in their positions and Bumrah was ready to bowl his next as soon as the umpire called for play to resume.

IND vs NZ Live Score: New Zealand 9/1 in 4.3 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Rachin Ravindra is the new batter in and Virat Kohli, who is properly pumped up and his voice is thundering through the stump mic despite being turned down, was on to him all the time throughout that over. That ends in a wicket maiden.

NZ 9/1 in 4 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: It is Devon Conway! A very good catch there from Shreyas Iyer and he does that medal gesture to the Indian fielding coach the way Ravindra Jadeja did in the last match. Conway tries to flick the full length delivery, couldn't keep it down and Iyer dived to his right and took the low catch at square leg.

Conway c Iyer b Mohammed Siraj 0 (9), New Zealand 9/1 in 3.3 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Siraj bowling the second, the second ball is fullish and offers a bit of width, Young leans into the drive and sends it to the boundary.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Jasprit Bumrah of course bowling the first over and Devon Conway on strike. The outside edge was beaten first ball itself and Bumrah kept him pinned throughout.

The two teams have lined up adjacent to each other with the officials and all the others that make up the beautiful pictures were get from the grounds during these national anthems.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Latham admits that New Zealand would've bowled first as well. "Looks a good surface, and we know the dew will come in," he said. The important thing, he says, is whatever they do, they need to do well. They need to keep the momentum going. They are in a new ground, new conditions so need to adjust to these conditions as quickly as we can. "We've got the same team for today - three seamers and two spinners."

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Rohit said that India felt that a lot of dew is coming in later in the day while they were practising here, which is why they are bowling first. "Looks like a good pitch, we'll back ourselves to chase. Quite important to keep the momentum going, forget what happened in the past. Need to be at it all the time," he said about India's history against New Zealand.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: ...was when Sourav Ganguly was captain of the Indian team and Virat Kohli was about 15 years old. The match was in Centurion and Zaheer Khan's extraordinary 4/42 helped India dismiss New Zealand for just 146 runs. India though, slipped up early in the rather straightforward chase with Virender Sehwag, Ganguly and Tendulkar all falling within the first five overs. India's current head coach Rahul Dravid and Mohammad Kaif then took India home, remaining unbeaten on 53 (89) and 68 (129) respectively.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Santner is currently is the highest wicket taker in the tournament with 11 strikes. He is a left-arm spinner, a species that Kohli has had particular difficulty facing in the recent past. Indian fans would probably recall how he dismissed Kohli in two of three matches that the two sides played each other earlier this year. The first of those dismissals came after Kohli had scored three centuries in his previous four matches. Kohli averages just 16.88 since 2022 against left-arm spin in ODIs with 152 runs in 13 innings. He has fallen nine times to a left-arm spinner in this period.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: The fact that Mohammed Shami couldn't find a place in the Indian bowling attack was cited as an indicator of just how good it is. Well, Tim Southee can't find a place in the New Zealand bowling attack, so they are in a similar place to say the least. In fact, it was the same foursome of Matt Henry, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson and Mitchell Santner that turned up for the BlackCaps in THAT 2019 World Cup semi-final.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: We are about 45 minutes away from the toss and so the fans have made their way to the stadium and are beginning the slow, tedious process of actually going past the turnstiles.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: So dominant were India against Bangladesh that Virat Kohli and KL Rahul could prioritise the former getting to a century over the hosts finishing the chase and still they won it with nearly nine overs to spare. However, Kohli's Test teammate Cheteshwar Pujara said that should a situation come in the future where India are fighting for their NRR and look back on this match with a different perspective.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Shubman Gill needs just 14 runs to reach 2000 runs in ODIs. If he does that today, he will go past Hashim Amla for the fastest to the mark in ODI cricket in terms of innings.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Well we have entire story up discussing what the Indian XI could look like, which you can read here. But this is what it might boil down to.

Openers: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill

Top and middle-order: Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(wk)

All-rounder: Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur

Spinner: Kuldeep Yadav

Pacers: Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: 48 centuries is what Kohli stands on, 49 is what the great Sachin Tendulkar ended his prolific career on. Back when Tendulkar had retired it was fairly reasonable, to say the least, that no one would break that for the foreseeable future, maybe even forever. And yet, the man to get this close to doing that had already been playing international cricket for about four years. However, with the future of this format as bad that of the planet it is played on, we might just be seeing the last of the ODI batting greats. And Kohli can blow the roof off this place if he leads India to victory against the dreaded Kiwis with the century that equals Tendulkar's record.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Shubman Gill has an excellent record against New Zealand, his last six innings against them reading 50, 45*, 13, 208, 40* and 112. He has scored 484 runs against them in eight matches at an average of 80.66 and strike rate of 109.75. With a maiden World Cup half-century under his belt, he will look to create a tempo-setting impact at the top of the order.
