With the Indian team hoping to continue their dominance, this eagerly awaited matchup is probably going to be crucial in determining the teams’ point table rankings.
In the first two group stage matches, Team India has been in excellent form, winning convincingly against both arch-rivals Pakistan and Bangladesh. In addition to extending their winning streak, a victory over New Zealand might guarantee that they finish first in the standings.
New Zealand has been playing well, winning both of its league matches by wide margins. They will also try to keep up their winning streak in this tournament and keep up the enthusiasm going into the Lahore semifinal.
