Match Preview
India have already qualified with back-to-back wins in their first two games and are riding high on confidence. Meanwhile, New Zealand have been a bit unfortunate, with both of their matches abandoned due to rain, leaving them second on the Group B points table. They will be hoping for a full game this time, as a victory here could help them push their campaign forward.
Abhigyan Kundu, who has been a key presence in the middle order for India with 122 runs so far, stands out as the top choice for the captaincy role. Henil Patel, who has been impressive with the ball after picking up six wickets in the tournament, is the top pick for the vice-captaincy role.
