<p>On Wednesday (Oct 2), New Zealand Test captain Tim Southee stepped down from the post ahead of the three-match Test series versus India. Prior to the three Tests, starting on Oct 16 in India, Southee has announced his decision to step down as the red-ball captain after leading the side in only 14 matches. Given the dip in his own performance&nbsp;since taking over, Southee feels he can best serve the side by focusing on his bowling and getting back to his usual form. Tom Latham will take over from Southee in the forthcoming India series.</p>

<p>In a statement, shared by the Black Caps, Southee said, "Captaining the BlackCaps in a format that’s so special to me, has been an absolute honour and a privilege."</p>

<p>He opined, "I have always tried to put the team first throughout my career and I believe this decision is the best for the team. I believe the way I can best serve the team moving forward is focusing on my performances on the field and getting back to my best, to continue taking wickets and helping New Zealand win Test matches."</p>

<p>Southee added, "I will, as I have always done, continue to support my teammates, especially the exciting young bowlers making their way on the international stage. I wish Tom all the best in the role and he knows I'll be there to support him on his journey, as he has done for me over the years."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, NZ coach Gary Stead added, "It is not easy giving up something you love, but Tim is a true team man and he’s made the decision with the team’s best interests at heart. He is one of our greatest ever players and we still very much see him playing a part in our Test side moving forward."</p>

<p>"He has been a great servant of New Zealand Cricket over nearly 17 years playing on the international stage, and I would like to acknowledge his humility in stepping down from the role as Test captain."</p>

<p>Southee led NZ in 14 Tests with six wins and equal number of losses, along with two draws.&nbsp;However, the pacer&nbsp;could not perform to the best of his abilities as skipper.&nbsp;In 14 Tests,&nbsp;Southee accounted for 35 wickets at an average of 38.60; i.e. well&nbsp;above his career average of 28.99. The 35-year-old only managed&nbsp;two wickets in his side's two Tests in Sri Lanka, which they lost 2-0, after bowling 49 overs.</p>

<p>Latham, who has led the Kiwis in nine Tests from 2020-22, will take over from Southee -- who succeeded Kane Williamson -- with his first assignment against the daunting Rohit Sharma-led Indian team.</p>

I believe the best way...: Tim Southee resigns as Test captain before India series, Tom Latham takes over

<p>India skipper Rohit Sharma could script history on Sunday (Nov 19) after his side entered the ODI World Cup final with a splendid 70-run win over New Zealand in Mumbai. Led by the record-breaking performance of Virat Kohli and&nbsp;Mohammed Shami’s aggressive spell, India reduced New Zealand to 327 runs after having set a 398-run target. The win now means India will play either South Africa or Australia in the final on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.</p>

<h2><strong>Rohit reflects after win</strong></h2>

<p>“We were calm even though we were a bit sloppy on the field. These things are bound to happen, glad that we could get the job done. When the scoring rate is above 9, you gotta take chances. They gave us chances, we didn't take them.&nbsp;Mitchell and Williamson batted brilliantly. We had to stay calm. The crowd went silent, that's the nature of the game,” Rohit said after the match.</p>

<p>Having set a target of 398, New Zealand did not have the best start&nbsp;and were reduced to 39/2 before skipper Kane Williamson (69) and Daryl Mitchell (134) brought Kiwis back into the game. Both openers, Rachin Ravindra (13) and Devon Conway (13) departed early leaving plenty of work to be done. However, Mitchell and Williamson then built an 181-run partnership for the third wicket before Shami came back to haunt the Kiwis.</p>

<p>After Williamson’s departure, New Zealand lost wickets at regular intervals while Shami enjoyed another stellar outing with the ball. He helped&nbsp;India clean up the tail as New Zealand were bowled out for 327 in a marathon run chase at the Wankhede Stadium. Glenn Phillips showed some resilience with a 41-run knock, but India won the match by 70 runs. Shami ended with figures of 57/7 while Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Kuldeep Yadav ended with one wicket each.</p>

<p>“We knew we had to pull something from our sleeves. We tried everything and Shami was brilliant. The top five-six batters, they have made it count. Very pleased with what Iyer has done in this tournament,” Rohit added.</p>

<h2><strong>What happened earlier?</strong></h2>

<p>Earlier, India ended their innings with 397/4 as Virat Kohli (117) and Shreyas Iyer (105) led India to&nbsp;a mammoth total. Shubman Gill also remained unbeaten on 80 till&nbsp;he retired hurt due to cramps. Kohli scored his record-breaking 50th ODI ton which saw him leapfrog Sachin Tendulkar’s tally of 49.

<h2><strong>Shami helps India cruise past New Zealand</strong></h2>

<p>Having set a target of 398, New Zealand did not have the best starts and were reduced to 39/2 before skipper Kane Williamson (69) and Daryl Mitchell (134) brought Kiwis back into the game. Both openers, Rachin Ravindra (13) and Devon Conway (13) departed early leaving plenty of work to be done. However, Mitchell and Williamson then built an 181-run partnership for the third wicket before Shami came back to haunt the Kiwis.</p>

<p>After Williamson’s departure, New Zealand lost wickets at regular intervals while Shami enjoyed another stellar outing with the ball. He helped India clean up the tail as New Zealand were bowled out for 327 in a marathon run chase at the Wankhede Stadium. Glenn Phillips showed little resilience with a 41-run knock, but India won the match by 70 runs. Shami ended with figures of 57/7 while Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Kuldeep Yadav ended with one wicket each.</p>

<p>Earlier, India ended their innings with 397/4 as Virat Kohli (117) and Shreyas Iyer (105) helped India with a mammoth total. Shubman Gill also remained unbeaten on 80 as he retired hurt after cramps. Kohli scored his record-breaking 50th ODI ton which saw him leapfrog Sachin Tendulkar’s tally of 49th. He also surpassed Sachin’s tally of 673 runs in a single edition of the ODI World Cup and now has 711 runs with a match still to go.</p>

Team India booked a date with destiny after they registered a massive win in the ODI World Cup semifinal against New Zealand on Wednesday (Nov 15).

<h2><strong>Virat reflects on special achievement</strong></h2>

<p>“I said in Kolkata, the great man (Sachin Tendulkar) just congratulated me. All this feels like a dream, too good to be true. Feels surreal for me. Again a big game today, I had to play the role I have played throughout the tournament so that the guys around me can go and express themselves. Just glad everything came together so nicely and we put up a great total on the board as well,” Virat said after achieving the feat of 50 ODI hundreds.</p>

<p>In the 42nd over, Virat scored a brace which saw him reach the pinnacle of his ODI career. The feat now sees him at the top of the list with the most ODI hundreds followed by Sachin with 49 while another Mumbai-based batter and India skipper Rohit Sharma sits third with 31. He is followed by Ricky Ponting and Sanath Jayasuriya with 30 and 28 respectively.</p>

<p>“I have been given a role this tournament and I have been trying to play that to the best of my abilities - try to dig deep and bat long so the guys around me can play around me and have that confidence in the later overs where I can dominate with the bat as well,” Virat added.</p>

<p><strong>Most ODI hundreds:</strong></p>

<p>50 - Virat Kohli</p>

<p>49 - Sachin Tendulkar</p>

<p>Before the start of the match, Virat needed 83 runs to break Sachin’s record for most runs in a single edition of the ODI World Cup. He achieved the feat in the 34th over as he went past the tally and now has the most runs in a single edition with potentially another match to go at the global tournament.</p>

<p>Virat departed on 117 and was given a standing ovation by the Mumbai crowd while Shreyas Iyer also scored a hundred in his hometown.

ODI World Cup: Virat reflects on monumental achievement after 50th ton, says 'all this feels like a dream'

<p>Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave India a perfect start in the ODI World Cup semifinal. The contest at Wankhede Stadium had seen India under pressure having had a poor history against New Zealand in recent times. However, unlike the&nbsp;2019 ODI World Cup semifinal against New Zealand in Manchester when India were 5/3 at a point, Rohit’s men got off to a perfect start on Wednesday (Nov 15).</p>

<h2><strong>Shubman, Rohit get India going&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Having won the toss, the Indian team made a solid start with skipper Rohit in an attacking mood that saw him take apart the Kiwi&nbsp;bowling lineup. Rohit scored a quickfire 47 off just 29 that consisted of 4 fours and 4 sixes. The local boy looked in good nick while Gill played the defensive role in the partnership. The duo stitched a partnership of 71 runs for the opening wicket before Rohit was caught by the mid-off fielder while he tried playing another big shot.</p>

<p>India later suffered a blow as Shubman Gill had to walk off with cramps in his legs. Batting on 79, he had to leave the field as he was unable to bat in the challenging heat of Mumbai. He was retired hurt and could still come back to complete his hundred later in the innings with India in a solid position in the contest.</p>

IND vs NZ semi-final: Weather & pitch report for Wankhede stadium ahead of India vs New Zealand clash

<p>New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson is all set to roll up his sleeves for the first ODI World Cup semifinal on Wednesday (Nov 15) as his team meets hosts India in the semifinal&nbsp;at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. New Zealand, who have been a hoodoo team for Rohit Sharma’s men, will look to cause an upset as they eye a third consecutive final in the 50-over World Cup. For India, revenge will be on the menu card, having lost to New Zealand in the 2019 edition semifinal while also losing the World Test Championship (WTC) final in 2021.</p>

<h2><strong>Williamson expects big home support</strong></h2>

<p>"We are expecting a fairly blue crowd that will be supporting their team. No doubt, they will be very passionate about that.

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson is all set to roll up his sleeves for the first ODI World Cup semifinal on Wednesday (Nov 15) as his team meets hosts India in the semifinal at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson is all set to roll up his sleeves for the first ODI World Cup semifinal on Wednesday (Nov 15) as his team meets hosts India in the semifinal at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. New Zealand, who have been a hoodoo team for Rohit Sharma’s men, will look to cause an upset as they eye a third consecutive final in the 50-over World Cup. For India, revenge will be on the menu card, having lost to New Zealand in the 2019 edition semifinal while also losing the World Test Championship (WTC) final in 2021. Williamson expects big home support "We are expecting a fairly blue crowd that will be supporting their team. No doubt, they will be very passionate about that. At the same time, as players, when you get opportunities to play in front of those crowds as well, it's special. We remember over the years, at a number of different venues, we have played in front of fans who are not supporting us. We have a small country that doesn't always fill out the stadiums, but you still appreciate the atmosphere that it brings. I am sure it will be a good one tomorrow,” Williamson said during the press conference on Tuesday.

Virat Kohli masterminds India's run chase against New Zealand in Dharamsala. Here is how fans reacted on X

<p>India skipper Rohit Sharma has refused to take his foot off the pedal in the ongoing ODI World Cup after his side registered their fifth consecutive win on Sunday (Oct 22).

However, Virat Kohli laid&nbsp;the foundation for the win as he scored 95 but was unfortunate to miss out on a record-equaling hundred. He was given a good hand by KL Rahul (27) and Ravindra Jadeja (unbeaten 39) to help the side over the line. Suryakumar Yadav was the missing piece in the puzzle having been run out on 2.</p>

He also played an important role in breaking the Rachin Ravindra (75) and Daryl Mitchell (130) partnership, getting the former out when they had stitched 159 runs for the third wicket.</p>

<p>Shami returned to haunt the Kiwis when he scalped Mitchell Santner (1) and Matt Henry (0) on back-to-back balls. He was on a hat-trick in the 48th over but could not get over the line to join the elite company.

ODI World Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma refuses to take foot off the pedal after NZ win, says 'job is half done'

<p>Rohit Sharma-led India continued their winning run when they locked horns with New Zealand in match 21 of the ICC ODI World Cup, at home, on Sunday (Oct 22) in Dharamsala. Both sides met each other being unbeaten in the ten-team tournament and produced an intense battle, where India eventually went past the Kiwis by four wickets in pursuit of 274. The likes of Mohammed Shami (5 for 54), Ravindra Jadeja (10-0-48-0 and 39 not out), Rohit (46) and Virat Kohli (95) starred in India's fifth win on the trot as they sit pretty at the top with ten points.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the match, former Indian batter-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar lauded Team India and hailed captain Rohit's fearless approach at the top. Rohit has been in top form in the ODI World Cup, with 311 runs (second-most) and has struck at&nbsp;133.47; going hard at the powerplays. In the game versus the Black Caps, he targetted Matt Henry, in particular, and Trent Boult and never shied away from counterattacking despite being beaten on occasions. As a result, India was 63 for no loss after 10 overs.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thus, Manjrekar said on Star Sports, "The talk was about Trent Boult's swing, and that Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry could trouble the Indian batters a lot on this pitch. I like this Rohit Sharma because India are winning more and winning more convincingly. He scored five centuries in 2019 but India's performance didn't look this convincing. Yes, he is scoring forties but is going after setting a good platform."</p>

<p>After the win over NZ, Rohit said at the post-match presentation, "Good start to the tournament. Job is half done. Important to stay balanced. Not to think too far ahead. Important to stay in the present. Shami took the opportunity with both hands. He has the experience in these conditions and is a class bowler. At one stage, we were looking at 300 plus. Credit to our bowlers at the back end. I am enjoying my batting. Both are different personalities but we (Him and Gill) complement each other. Happy that we won. Nothing much to say. He (Kohli) has done this for us so many years. He backed himself to do the job. Kohli and Jadeja pulled us back when we lost a few wickets in the middle. The fielding is something we pride ourselves on. Today the fielding wasn't clinical. Ravindra Jadeja is one of the best fielders in the world. These things happen.

Rohit Sharma-led India continued their winning run when they locked horns with New Zealand in match 21 of the ICC ODI World Cup, at home, on Sunday (Oct 22) in Dharamsala.

Rohit Sharma-led India continued their winning run when they locked horns with New Zealand in match 21 of the ICC ODI World Cup, at home, on Sunday (Oct 22) in Dharamsala. Both sides met each other being unbeaten in the ten-team tournament and produced an intense battle, where India eventually went past the Kiwis by four wickets in pursuit of 274. The likes of Mohammed Shami (5 for 54), Ravindra Jadeja (10-0-48-0 and 39 not out), Rohit (46) and Virat Kohli (95) starred in India's fifth win on the trot as they sit pretty at the top with ten points. After the match, former Indian batter-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar lauded Team India and hailed captain Rohit's fearless approach at the top. Rohit has been in top form in the ODI World Cup, with 311 runs (second-most) and has struck at 133.47; going hard at the powerplays. In the game versus the Black Caps, he targetted Matt Henry, in particular, and Trent Boult and never shied away from counterattacking despite being beaten on occasions. As a result, India was 63 for no loss after 10 overs. Thus, Manjrekar said on Star Sports, "The talk was about Trent Boult's swing, and that Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry could trouble the Indian batters a lot on this pitch. I like this Rohit Sharma because India are winning more and winning more convincingly. He scored five centuries in 2019 but India's performance didn't look this convincing. Yes, he is scoring forties but is going after setting a good platform." Also read: If he scored 50 off 60 balls, there is no use: Gambhir SLAMS Babar Azam's batting approach in ODI WC After the win over NZ, Rohit said at the post-match presentation, "Good start to the tournament. Job is half done. Important to stay balanced. Not to think too far ahead. Important to stay in the present. Shami took the opportunity with both hands. He has the experience in these conditions and is a class bowler. At one stage, we were looking at 300 plus. Credit to our bowlers at the back end. I am enjoying my batting. Both are different personalities but we (Him and Gill) complement each other. Happy that we won. Nothing much to say. He (Kohli) has done this for us so many years. He backed himself to do the job. Kohli and Jadeja pulled us back when we lost a few wickets in the middle. The fielding is something we pride ourselves on. Today the fielding wasn't clinical. Ravindra Jadeja is one of the best fielders in the world. These things happen. We know that fielding is something that will decide a lot of things going forward. We love travelling and playing in different parts of the game." India now have some rest before they take on England in Lucknow on Sunday (Oct 29).

Like this Rohit Sharma because India are winning more convincingly in CWC '23, says Sanjay Manjrekar

<p>India beat New Zealand by four wickets in match 21 of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 edition on Sunday (Oct 22) in Dharamsala. In a clash of the two unbeaten sides in the ten-team tournament, Rohit Sharma-led India opted to bowl first and rode on Mohammed Shami's 5 for 54 to dismiss the Kiwis for 273 in 50 overs. In reply, India completed the run-chase in 48 overs courtesy of Virat Kohli's 95, Ravindra Jadeja's 39 not out and Rohit's 46. With this win, India remain the only team to be unbeaten in the ten-team tournament whereas the Black Caps conceded their first game after a four-match winning streak.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the game, Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar was in awe of Rohit-led India and feels 'there is no way that India should not be winning the World Cup'. Lauding Kohli, he said on his YouTube channel, Akhtar said, "He is someone who thrives under pressure. Pressure brings opportunities for him. And opportunities are scoring a hundred, playing match-winning knocks and getting followed on Instagram, and why not? This guy deserves it."</p>

<p>Akhtar emphasised on India's batting line-up and said, "Shubman Gill is enough for this New Zealand team. Had Rohit Sharma not got out casually, he is enough. If KL Rahul goes up the order to 3 or 4, even he is enough. India’s batting lineup is very lengthy.&nbsp;Everyone knows what Kohli did today, but Rahul also took the load. Suryakumar had also done so had he not got out."</p>

<p>Apart from Kohli, Shami -- playing his first game in the CWC 2023 edition -- also made a strong statement by returning with a five-fer. Shami got a game due to Hardik Pandya's injury but Akhtar feels he should be in the playing XI going ahead as well. In this regard, he added,&nbsp;"But in ensuring that New Zealand don’t score 300-350, Shami played a big role. He was a bit expensive, but it’s okay since he dismissed five batters.

<p>Lastly, Akhtar made a big claim and said, "They have a complete batting and bowling lineup. There is no way that India should not be winning the World Cup."&nbsp;</p>

<p>With India remaining unbeaten after five games and sitting pretty at the top of the points table, Rohit doesn't want the team to lose steam.

There is no way that India should not be winning the ODI World Cup: Shoaib Akhtar's BOLD remark

<p>Virat Kohli headlined another run-chase for India in the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023 edition on Sunday (Oct 22) when Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. beat New Zealand by four wickets in pursuit of 274. Facing the Kiwis in match 21 of the 2023 edition, in Dharamsala, India were on the back foot with the visitors 219 for 4. Mohammed Shami's late strikes (5 for 54) dented the Black Caps' progress as they were bundled out for 273 in 50 overs before Kohli (95), captain Rohit (46) and Ravindra Jadeja's 39 not out sealed the deal for India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli has been in top form in the CWC 2023 edition. After his heroics vs NZ, he is now the leading run-getter (354 runs) in the ten-team tournament in India.&nbsp;He has been exceptional in all five run-chases for India with scores of 85, 55*, 16, 103 and 95. Thus, New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell (who slammed an impressive 130 versus the Men in Blue) lauded the star batter and heaped praise on him after the Dharamsala encounter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"He's a world-class player and he'll go down as one of the greats of the game for a reason. A very good knock under pressure I thought and although he didn't get 100, he got his team across the line," Mitchell said about Kohli in the post-match press conference.</p>

<p>Mitchell further added, "Look for us as Kiwis, we'll just keep throwing punches, we'll keep trying different things and we'll keep trying to take wickets and I'm just really proud of our bowling unit tonight and how they tried to do that for periods of time and in conditions which probably got better with the dew with the wicket so yeah for us really proud of our efforts and we look forward to taking on the Aussies in just under a week's time."</p>

<p>For India, they have a week off before they take on England in their next outing, in Lucknow on Sunday (Oct 29). On the other hand, the Tom Latham-led Kiwis will now square off with Australia in Dharamsala on Saturday (Oct 28). India, after their first win over NZ in ODI World Cup history since 2003, are at the top of the points table with five successive wins (ten points), closely followed by New Zealand (eight points).</p>

ODI World Cup 2023: Rohit refuses to take foot off the pedal despite NZ win, says 'job is half done'

<p>Mohammed Shami made a statement return to the Indian side in the ongoing ODI World Cup as he scalped five wickets in Dharamsala against New Zealand. Shami, playing his first match in the ODI World Cup had a point to prove heading into the contest and was on the show as India restricted New Zealand to 273 in their 50 overs. Shami was only in the team after Hardik Pandya missed out due to injury while Suryakumar Yadav was also brought in to help the batting side.</p>

<h2><strong>Shami makes statement return</strong></h2>

<p>Down the pecking order, Shami had 32 World Cup wickets but was kept out of the side by experienced Jasprit Bumrah and ever-impressive Mohammed Siraj. However, he grabbed his opportunity with both hands and scalped Will Young (17) on the first ball of his spell.

<p>Currently, he has 37 ODI World Cup wickets, third on the list behind Javagal Srinath (44) and Zaheer Khan (44), and could break their record with a swift run. India still have four league matches to play after the New Zealand match with potential semifinal and final also on the cards.</p>

<h2><strong>What happened in the match?</strong></h2>

<p>Backed by the impressive Ravindra and Mitchell, New Zealand set a 274-run target for India to chase, despite being 19/2 at one stage. The duo was instrumental for the Kiwis to reach the total before they once again collapsed. New Zealand recovered well after the early onslaught and were 178/2 before losing way. Will Young (17) and Glenn Phillips were the only other batters to get in double figures for New Zealand.</p>

<p>For India, Kuldeep Yadav as expensive as he ended with figures of 73/2 in his 10 overs while Bumrah and Siraj scalped one wicket each.</p>

However, he grabbed his opportunity with both hands and scalped Will Young (17) on the first ball of his spell. He also played an important role in breaking the Rachin Ravindra (75) and Daryl Mitchell (130) partnership getting the former out when they had stitched 159 runs for the third wicket. Shami would return to haunt the Kiwis when he scalped Mitchell Santner (1) and Matt Henry (0) on back-to-back balls.

ODI World Cup 2023: Mohammed Shami makes statement return to Team India, scalps five wickets in Dharamsala

<p>India’s Shubman Gill has been enjoying his ODI World Cup parade after yet another convincing start against New Zealand in Dharamsala on Sunday (Oct 22). However, he had to ride his luck against the Kiwis when he survived a close call at the non-striker's end. Fortunately for Gill, he was in the right place and avoided run out to help India build another 50-run stand for the opening wicket. India and New Zealand are playing in the ODI World Cup for just the second time in 20 years with revenge on the cards for the Men in Blue having lost in 2019.</p>

<h2><strong>What happened with Gill?</strong></h2>

<p>On the final ball of the fifth over, a straight drive from Rohit Sharma went towards bowler Trent Boult and appeared to have struck his hand before hitting the stump. With the ball hitting the stumps Gill appeared to have his bat outside the crease as New Zealand were convinced he was run out.

<p>However, much to the relief of Gill and Indian fans, the ball appeared to have taken no deflection of the hand. Later it was also confirmed from the replays that Gill was back in his crease in time to avoid any further controversy. India’s score at that time was 32/0 in five overs.</p>

<p>At the time of writing, India did lose Rohit Sharma for 46 off 40 with the scoreboard reading 75/1 after 12 overs.</p>

WATCH | Shubman Gill survives close run out call at non-striker's end against New Zealand in ODI World Cup

<p>Former World Cup winner and star spinner Harbhajan Singh has backed the selection of Mohammed Shami in the Indian team for the upcoming ODI World Cup contest against New Zealand. The two teams are set to lock horns in the coveted contest on Sunday (Oct 22) in Dharamsala as India look to settle a score. The Men in Blue lost to New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup semifinal and have revenge on the agenda when they cross roads. However, with Hardik Pandya injured, the Indian team will be forced to make a change with Mohammed Shami likely to make his first appearance.</p>

<h2><strong>Harbhajan backs Shami</strong></h2>

<p>“Suryakumar Yadav for me. I feel he should be straightaway brought in. Play Mohammed Shami in place of Shardul (Thakur) because then you get five proper bowlers. You feel Hardik Pandya needs to bowl three-four overs because Shardul might not be able to bowl his full quota of overs,” Harbhajan said on the eve of the contest.</p>

<p>India’s ace star all-rounder Hardik Pandya got injured during the Bangladesh contest when he twisted his ankle. As a result, he will miss the match and is already in Bengaluru for treatment and is likely to join the Indian team for the England clash in Lucknow.</p>

<p>For the Indian team management, they are likely to bring in Mohammed Shami in his place but according to Harbhajan, they should drop Shardul in favour of Suryakumar Yadav. According to him, this will give India five proper bowling options while Surya’s inclusion could be a blessing in disguise for the team.</p>

<h2><strong>Teams ready for big clash</strong></h2>

<p>The key clash on Sunday could also see a big change in the opposition camp as Tim Southee could come in having been passed fit. Stand-in skipper Tom Latham confirmed of Southee’s availability for the match as the two will play for the first time in the ODI World Cup this tournament.</p>

<p>India have got off to a good start as they have beaten Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The contest on Sunday will be a repeat of the 2019 World Cup semifinal, where India lost to New Zealand in a heart-breaking contest in Manchester. Despite injuries in the camp, New Zealand have hardly suffered from any crisis on the field as they have gotten the better of England, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and the Netherlands.</p>

ODI World Cup 2023: Former India star makes BOLD claim ahead of New Zealand clash, urges to use Mohammed Shami

<p>New Zealand’s stand-in skipper Tom Latham is embracing the opportunity to play Tim Southee in the ODI World Cup contest against India in Dharamsala as they get ready for the high-voltage contest. Both India and New Zealand will meet in the ODI World Cup match on Sunday (Oct 22) with both teams only separated by Net Run Rate (NRR) while winning all of the four matches so far. Southee has an injured thumb while regular skipper Kane Williamson is also unavailable due to the same injury suffered against Bangladesh.</p>

<h2><strong>New Zealand ready for the match</strong></h2>

<p>"Yeah, obviously I definitely stayed up for the All Blacks and watched them. It was a great contest, obviously Kiwis support each other wherever that may be around the world and we're certainly no different in supporting the All Blacks and obviously we've had so much support back home for us here and this World Cup as well," Latham said in the pre-match press conference.</p>

<p>"So obviously great to see you know that they're there for another week and good luck to them next week's going to be a great contest and yeah Kane's obviously still nursing his thumb injury. It's a day-by-day process with him as well. Fingers crossed he'll be available for later on in the tournament. And in regards to Tim, he's available for selection," Latham added.</p>

<p>Southee was injured in the England tour and was feared to miss the entire World Cup however he made it to the main tournament despite missing the early stage. He has been an important part of the national side along with Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson. On the flip side, Williamson’s injury has also been a key concern for the management. Williamson got injured during the Bangladesh match and had to retire hurt having been in excruciating pain.</p>

<p>In a massive setback for team India, ace all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the upcoming World Cup clash against New Zealand in Dharamshala due to injury. During India's fourth game against Bangladesh, Pandya sustained an ankle injury while attempting to stop the ball in his follow-through. After the unfortunate incident, the experienced campaigner walked off the field, not participating further in the game.</p>

<h2><strong>IND vs NZ, World Cup 2023: India vs New Zealand probable playing XI</strong></h2>

<p><strong>India (IND): </strong>Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav/Ishan Kishan, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami/Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.</p>

IND vs NZ, World Cup 2023: Weather report from Dharamshala- Will rain play a spoilsport in IND-NZ match?

<p><strong>IND vs NZ head-to-head: </strong>India and New Zealand will meet in match no. 21 of the ongoing 2023 ICC Men’s World Cup. The clash will take place on Sunday (Oct 22) at 2:00 pm IST. The game is slated to take place at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India will be coming into the match with three consecutive wins against Australia, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and Men in Blue will look forward to continue their winning streak. On the other hand, New Zealand also remains unbeaten in the tournament, with winning their last match against Afghanistan. Currently, New Zealand tops the points table following India on the second spot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahead of Sunday’s match, let’s take a look at the head-to-head record of the two teams in ODI matches:</p>

<h2><strong>IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: India vs Australia head-to-head stats</strong></h2>

<p>A total of 62 matches have taken place between India and New Zealand in the ODI format. India has won by 22 matches while New Zealand has won 13 matches. 27 matches ended with a draw between both teams.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Total matches played:</strong> 62</p>

<p><strong>Won by India:</strong> 22</p>

<p><strong>Won by New Zealand</strong>: 13</p>

<p><strong>Matches ended with draw</strong>: 27</p>

<h2><strong>IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Pitch report</strong></h2>

<p>The surface at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala is one that is preferable to the bowlers, especially the pacers. With ball movement early into the game, the power plays could prove to be crucial for the bowling side. Opting to bowl first and chasing down the target could be a wise decision.</p>

<h2><strong>IND vs NZ World Cup 2023: Weather update</strong></h2>

<p>It will be a chilly day for both the teams with maximum temperature hovering around 13 degrees, far cry from 37 degrees in Mumbai on Saturday. There will be 74 per cent cloud cover as well.</p>

<h2><strong>IND vs NZ, World Cup 2023: India vs New Zealand probable playing XI</strong></h2>

IND vs NZ live streaming: When & where to watch World Cup 2023 India vs New Zealand live on laptop, mobile

<p>On Wednesday (February 01), Hardik Pandya-led India locked horns with New Zealand in the third and final T20I with the scoreline being 1-1. Opting to bat first at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, Ahmedabad, India rode on Shubman Gill's 63-ball 126 not out and Rahul Tripathi's 22-ball 44 to post a daunting 234 for 4. In reply, the Mitchell Santner-led Black Caps were never in the hunt and only managed a paltry 66 all-out in 12.1 overs to lose by a whopping 168-run margin. With the series win, India maintained their stronghold on the No. 1 spot in the ICC T20I rankings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking about the contest, India went into the game with only one change with Umran Malik coming in place of Yuzvendra Chahal. Thus, Prithvi Shaw -- who recently slammed 379 in Ranji Trophy -- remained benched which made heads turn in the cricketing fraternity. India backed Gill and Ishan Kishan, who once again fell flat in the series finale. After the easy win over the Kiwis in the Ahmedabad T20I, skipper Hardik Pandya was presented with the trophy by BCCI President Roger Binny and Secretary Jay Shah. Hardik quickly handed the trophy to benched Shaw, grabbing eyeballs for the out-of-favour player.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shaw would be disappointed to not get a game under his belt during the NZ series. He will aim for a memorable run in IPL 2023 and make a strong statement to get a longer rope in the T20I setup with the World Cup next year in West Indies and the USA.</p>

<p>At the post-match presentation, a jubilant Hardik reflected on the series win and said, "I don't mind winning (man of the series award), but there were so performances here that were exceptional. This Man of the Series and trophy goes out to the whole support staff, I'm happy for all of them. (On doing things out of the box) Not to be honest, I always play the game like this. I try to read what is required, not have preconceived ideas. In my captaincy, I look to keep it simple and back my gut. I have a simple rule -&nbsp;<i>if I go down, I will go down on my terms.</i>&nbsp;We've spoken about taking challenges. When we played the IPL final, we felt the second innings was more spicy but on this surface today I wanted to make it a normal game because it was a decider. Hence, we batted first. Hopefully, we can continue performing like this."</p>

<p>India will now shift their focus to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, at home, versus Australia which gets underway on February 09.</p>

At the post-match presentation, a jubilant Hardik reflected on the series win and said, "I don't mind winning (man of the series award), but there were so performances here that were exceptional. This Man of the Series and trophy goes out to the whole support staff, I'm happy for all of them. (On doing things out of the box) Not to be honest, I always play the game like this. I try to read what is required, not have preconceived ideas. In my captaincy, I look to keep it simple and back my gut. I have a simple rule - if I go down, I will go down on my terms. We've spoken about taking challenges. When we played the IPL final, we felt the second innings was more spicy but on this surface today I wanted to make it a normal game because it was a decider. Hence, we batted first. Hopefully, we can continue performing like this." India will now shift their focus to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, at home, versus Australia which gets underway on February 09.

IND vs NZ: Hardik Pandya presents T20I series trophy to benched Prithvi Shaw as video goes viral - Watch

<p>Hardik Pandya-led India didn't put a foot wrong in the third and final T20I versus New Zealand, in Ahmedabad, on Wednesday evening (February 01). With the three-match series levelled at 1-1, India put on a stunning show at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium courtesy of in-form opener Shubman Gill's scintillating 63-ball 126 not out. Riding on his maiden hundred in the format, India posted 234 for 4 and defended the score with NZ were dismissed for a paltry 66 in 12.1 overs, to lose by 168 runs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While it was Gill who led the charge with the ball, captain Hardik broke the backbone of Kiwis' batting line-up with 4 for 16. However, Suryakumar Yadav also contributed with three stunning catches; including two sharp ones in the slip cordon. As Hardik dismssed dangerman Finn Allen for cheap in the first over, SKY made heads turn as he timed his jump to perfection and held onto a stunning catch. <strong>Here's the video of the catch:</strong></p>
