India and New Zealand are going to lock horns with each other in one of the most important encounters as this might act as quarter finals for them since the losing team will be in serious trouble when it comes to qualify for the semi-finals. India looks clearly favourites to win this face-off considering their unbeatable performance in last five head to head matches but as they haven’t defeated New Zealand in any of the ICC tournament games, so it might put a mental pressure on them.
Both the teams have played one off matches in this tournament too against Pakistan and lost in somewhat the same ways. They’re currently placed at 4th and 5th position on the points table of Super 12, Group 2 with Pakistan placed at top of the table and almost qualified for the semi-finals. Only one of the rest four teams from the Group will qualify and losing here will make it difficult for them to go there.
India did managed to put up a good total on the boards during the last match against Pakistan but they failed to take wickets which caused them a big loss, however with Hardik Pandya bowling in nets ahead of the match, we might see him in the action with bowl which will be a sigh of relief for them since India is lacking sixth bowling option while New Zealand did decent with both bat and ball during the last match so we are expecting a cracking encounter between these two strong teams here at beautiful Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
