India vs New Zealand Live Streaming: How to Watch the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Match Online in India, US, UK and Australia

India will face New Zealand in their upcoming ICC ODI World Cup league match at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Sunday. Both teams have remained unbeaten in this edition of the World Cup, amassing eight points each, with New Zealand currently leading the table due to its superior Net Run Rate (NRR).

In the past week, the picturesque city of Dharamshala witnessed its first snowfall of the season. However, on Sunday, a very different kind of atmosphere is expected at the HPCA Stadium as India faces one of its toughest opponents in the tournament. Here’s all you need to know about the India vs New Zealand World Cup 2023 clash.

Clash of the Titans

New Zealand made a commanding start to the tournament by impressively defeating the defending champions, England, by a margin of nine wickets. They carried on their strong performance with convincing wins against the Netherlands (by 99 runs), Bangladesh (by eight wickets), and Afghanistan (by 149 runs).

India, on the other hand, has proven to be a formidable team in the tournament. They started their campaign with a notable six-wicket victory against Australia, followed by convincing wins over Afghanistan (by eight wickets), arch-rivals Pakistan (by seven wickets), and Bangladesh (by seven wickets).

Despite their contrasting playing styles, both New Zealand and India have displayed impressive winning records, with a minimal variance in their net run rates – New Zealand’s at 1.923, slightly ahead of India’s 1.659.

However, New Zealand has historically been a challenging opponent for India, and the numbers support this assertion. In all ICC events since 1992, taking into account only the final from the WTC 2019-21 and 2021-23 cycles, India has managed to defeat New Zealand just once out of nine encounters.

For this reason, when these two teams face off in Dharamsala on Sunday, it won’t be just another routine group stage match; it carries historical significance. Additionally, the outcome of the match will determine that one of the teams will no longer maintain an unbeaten record in the competition.

The Dharamsala stadium is known not only for its breathtaking backdrop of the snow-capped Dhauladhar range but also for its high altitude. This elevation provides assistance to fast bowlers.

Among all the venues that have hosted multiple games in the World Cup, Dharamsala, along with Lucknow, has proven to be the most favorable for fast bowlers, offering substantial swing in the first ten overs of each inning.
