Losing finalists in the past two world cups, New Zealand have, as ever, gone about their work unobtrusively and effectively. They rarely have a plethora of star players but they have reached the semis in eight of the dozen tournaments.

The Blackcaps have had the easier set of fixtures so far. After thrashing holders England in the opening game, the Kiwis have beaten a trio of sides not expected to challenge for a semi-final berth: Netherlands, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. India have beaten Afghanistan and Bangladesh too, but also Australia and Pakistan.

India’s batting has been powered by captain Rohit Sharma (265 runs off 193 balls) and Virat Kohli (259 runs off 287 balls). Their bowling has been lead by Bumrah, Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav who have all taken wickets while being miserly, going at only 3.62, 3.75 and 4.10 runs per over respectively.

Just how good is this Indian side is? We will have more of an idea after this game. It's a day/night match, starting at 2pm IST. Here's everything you need to get India vs New Zealand live streams and watch ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 from anywhere.
