India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: The only difference between the streaks that these two teams have been on is that New Zealand have won their last five matches on the trot while India have won their last four. In fact, New Zealand have won their last six matches and are yet to lose one in their ongoing tour of the subcontinent. But it is also true that India have won eight of their last 10 ODIs while New Zealand have won seven. It is as tight as it gets.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: That is a very good question to ask yourself whenever you have a problem related to cricket, or almost anything else in life really. According to the former Indian captain, who was the first to reach 10,000 runs in the history of Test cricket and to reach 10,000 runs in any single format of the game, said that he would want to strengthen the batting and pick either Suryakumar Yadav or Ishan Kishan. India's problem, Gavaskar said on India Today, has been losing early wickets against New Zealand's pacers which is why India needs depth in their batting order.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: New Zealand could play as many as five left-handers in their XI because of which this would have been one game that Rohit Sharma thought would be perfect to throw Ravichandran Ashwin into the mix. But with Pandya not being available, India would be forced to drop either Ravindra Jadeja or Kuldeep Yadav, both of whom have been integral to their winning streak in this tournament. Playing three spinners, on the other hand, won't be of much use in Dharamsala. It looks like one of the fallouts of Pandya's injury would be Ashwin not playing this match.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: India have only batted second in this tournament. Whether they have won the toss or lost it, the opposition team ends up thinking, for some reason or the other, that it is a good idea to bat first against India and then make Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and the rest chase a target. What ends up happening is that the Indian bowlers choke out the opposition into putting up a below par, or just about par, total, after which the Indian top five make a mockery of it. Wonder if New Zealand will do something different if they win the toss today.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: India's opening pair, whether it be Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill or Ishan Kishan, have been devastating in the powerplay. Rohit has been the driving force and his approach opposition attacks out of the water early have reaped dividends, to say the least, for India. Conversely, much of New Zealand's dominance have been built around just how good their bowlers, particularly Matt Henry, have been in the powerplay. All the makings of an interesting, unpredictable contest.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Dharamsala has been the most bowling friendly venue of this World Cup thus far. It is the only stadium this year where both pace and spin average under 30. New Zealand's stand-in captain Tom Latham had also stated that dew had begun to form as early as 5pm on the days leading up to the match.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: It is a cloudy day in Dharamsala and there is 20 percent chance of showers in the afternoon. But it is unlikely that it will cause any major disruptions. The rain gods in India have been good to this World Cup thus far, with only match requiring a reduction in overs. That one match, which South Africa would like to forget forever, happened to be played at Dharamsala though

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Dharamsala has been a pitch that provides assistance to pacers this tournament. With India requiring covers for Hardik Pandya in both the batting and bowling department, they could ultimately bring in Mohammed Shami and Suryakumar Yadav. In that case, Shardul Thakur could end up taking the bench, with Shami taking his place in the batting order. Thakur hasn't really had the kind of returns that make him undroppable - He has recorded figures of 0/35, 1/31, 0/12 (in 2 overs), and 1/59 and is yet to bat. He didn't bat or bowl against England and Rohit has used his bowling skills sparingly.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: New Zealand will never be a hated side in India but they are well feared, particularly in ICC tournaments. The facts show that India haven't had the best of times in these competitions against the BlackCaps. In all ICC events since 1992 (considering only the final from the WTC 2019-21 and 2021-23 cycles), India have beaten New Zealand just once in nine attempts. More than anything else, Indian fans wouldn't forget the 2019 semi-final too soon...

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Among the possible permutations India are speculated to go for is bringing in Suryakumar Yadav so as to provide batting cover for Pandya. However, SKY himself had a bit of an injury scare when the ball struck him on the wrists. Ishan Kishan, on the other hand, was stung by a bee. Fortunately for India, neither of the two injuries seem to threaten their availability for this game, should India go for them.

India vs New Zealand Live Score IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Having a fast bowling all-rounder as good as Hardik Pandya and Ben Stokes in your team tends to be a double-edged sword. When they are around, the team seem to have an extra player either in their bowling or batting lineup. Conversely, when they are not available, they need to be replaced by two players. In India's case, there just is no like for like replacement for Pandya. One of the things to look out for today is just how the hosts are going to replace him.
