ODI World Cup 2023: Match 21 – India vs New Zealand – Weather Report

In the 21st game of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, India and New Zealand will lock horns in Dharamshala on October 22. Both teams are yet to lose a game which makes it a table-topper clash. While the two-time winners, India have beaten the likes of Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, the Blackcaps have beaten the likes of England, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and the Netherlands.

Meanwhile, just the last ODI World Cup encounter between these two teams, these games will also be impacted by the rain. Apparently, during the day, it will rain at 11 AM, 2 PM (start of play), and 5 PM. This means that the wicket might assist the pacers from both teams if they try to swing the ball. Apart from this, not much rain will pour during the game.

Both teams would like to bowl first after winning the toss.

Talking about the game, a win for either team will ensure their place in the semis. Both teams would like to finish on number one in the points. This will mean that they play a number four side in the first semifinal of the tournament.

Also, since the 2003 ODI World Cup, the Men In Blue are yet to win a World event match against the island nation. In the 2007 T20 World Cup campaign, the Blackcaps were the only side to beat India. Apart from this, nine years later, New Zealand beat India in the T20 World Cup game. In the previous ODI World Cup semifinal, the two-time finalists beat India for the first time in a knockout.

In the inaugural World Test Championship final in 2021, the Kane Williamson-led side won against India. A few months later, India went to NZ in the T20 World Cup Super 12 match
