Preview

The match 21st of the ODI World Cup will have India compete against New Zealand at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. With four victories in the first four matches of the flagship tournament, the Blackcaps and the Men in Blue are in the top two spots on the points table. Although India has gotten the better of New Zealand by 3-0 in the three-match ODI series at home recently, their record in the ICC tournament against them has a lot left to be desired. 

Pitch Report

The pitches at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala during the ODI World Cup 2023 have produced decent scores for the batters while providing some assistance to the bowlers too. The average first-innings score at this venue is 212, but the batting lineup of both India and New Zealand have the capability to put a total in excess of 260 on the board on October 22.

Team Analysis

India

The captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul have been the leading performers for Team India with the bat while chasing down four consecutive totals in the ODI World Cup 2023. The bowling department has been in incredible form for the Indian cricket team, with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja picking up consistent wickets at a miserly economy rate.
