IND vs NZ Dream11 Today Match Prediction: Two teams who lost the first match to Pakistan in the Super 12 of the T20 World Cup will face off against each other to keep their chances alive in the tournament. India and New Zealand have zero wins so far and desperately need a win today to make their chances to make it to the semi’s even higher.
India
New Zealand
Both teams were taken to the cleaners in the last match by Pakistan. Both showed below-par performance with both bat and ball. But everyone knows how talented India and New Zealand are. Both will surely bounce back in the coming days. But who will bounce back first? That’s the question that needs to be answered. Looking at the squad and the personals at hand, India is the strong favourites. They have what it takes to defeat New Zealand on any day with this squad. But the fact remains that India has never won against the Kiwis in ICC tournaments since 2003. Can men in blue break the jinx? Let’s find out.
In the current scenario, India is the favourites by a slight margin. They are highly skilled in all departments of the game. If their bowlers also return back to form, then they are an unstoppable side. That being said, we cannot count out New Zealand, they have defeated India many times in ICC games before. Expect a fighting performance from New Zealand, especially from their bowling unit but bet in favour of India for this match. Even the prominent betting sites are also predicting an India win.
Betway- NZ- 1.33, IND- 1.25
Both teams are expected to make one or two changes for this match.
1. KL Rahul 2. Rohit Sharma 3. Virat Kohli (c) 4. Suryakumar Yadav 5. Rishabh Pant (wk) 6. Hardik Pandya 7. Ravindra Jadeja 8. Ravichandran Ashwin 9. Shardul Thakur / Bhuvneshwar Kumar 10. Mohammad Shami 11. Jasprit Bumrah
The ever so Klaassy Rahul has been in fine form recently. He is timing the ball better than anyone else in the world. Expect a strong comeback from this champion player.
The leader of the Indian team came back to form in the match against Pakistan. Virat Kohli in ICC T20 World Cup is a different beast altogether. Expect him to continue that good run.
1. Martin Guptill 2. Daryl Mitchell 2. Kane Williamson (c) 4. Devon Conway 5. Glenn Phillips 6. Tim Seifert (wk) 7. James Neesham 8. Mitchell Santner 9. Trent Boult 10. Tim Southee 11. Ish Sodhi
Kane Williamson is an underrated T20 player. He has the ability to play the role of an anchor and enforcer according to the match situations. Expect the Kiwis captain to step up when needed for the team.
Conway was in fine form in all forms of the game in the last couple of years. Expect the southpaw to continue his good run.
