IND v NZ Match Preview:
India had a horror start to their first match in the Super 12 stage against arch-rivals Pakistan, where Indians were handed a 10-wicket defeat. In this match, apart from Skipper Virat Kohli, none of the other batters were able to stand their crease and face the Pakistani bowlers. A lot of hopes ride on the batting gems like KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav. It'd be interesting to see if Ishan Kishan who's in red hot form gets a place in the playing XI or not.
Indian bowling attack needs to strike back after they were unable to take a single wicket against Pakistan. Experienced bowlers like Mohammad Shami & Jasprit Bumrah may come out with all guns blazing in this all important match. Bhuvneshwar Kumar who has been out of touch for a long time may be replaced by all-rounder Shardul Thakur. In the spin department, it's still unclear who will play with Jadeja, though it's possible Varun Chakravarthy is given a place in the XI to get his rhytm in this T20 World Cup.
