This contest will bring back memories of the 2019 World Cup semifinal, a match that continues to haunt every passionate Indian cricket fan due to the infamous loss suffered by the Men in Blue.

India vs New Zealand Match Preview

In this World Cup, both teams have secured four victories each. However, the Blackcaps currently hold the top position due to their superior net run rate. India stand in second place.

Both sides have displayed remarkable dominance since their first matches. Speaking of the Men in Blue, their most recent triumph was against Bangladesh in Pune. Virat Kohli delivered an exceptional century, marking his first in a World Cup chase. On the bowling front, the entire unit has been performing exceptionally well, consistently taking crucial wickets while maintaining an impressive economy.

Unfortunately, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya won’t be available for the upcoming game due to an injury sustained in the last match. Surya Kumar Yadav or Ishan Kishan could potentially step in to replace him in the starting lineup. Given Shardul Thakur’s expensive bowling performance, the team management might be inclined to opt for Mohammed Shami. Especially considering the conditions in Dharamshala, where the Bengal pace battery could be more advantageous.

On the flip side, the Blackcaps are riding a wave of success. Having secured victory in four consecutive matches, they now face a formidable challenge against the Indian team. Kane Williamson, due to his thumb injury, will continue to be absent, but this absence hasn’t seemed to have a significant impact on the New Zealand squad. In their most recent fixture, they put up a convincing performance against Afghanistan.

Pitch Report

The pitch at HPCA Dharamsala offers an even contest between Bat and Ball. The only factor contrasting was the dew factor making chasing easier and fielding and bowling significantly difficult in the 2nd innings.

Also, with a lot of talks around the outfield of the ground fielding becomes a tough task in the outfield. The pitch is assistive to fast bowling, especially swing bowlers with fast winds rumbling through. Other than that, the deck is flat and the batter will enjoy batting here.
