India vs New Zealand Live Score Updates, World Cup 2023: India and New Zealand will lock horns in their fourth match of the ICC World Cup 2023 on Sunday. The top two teams on the points table are the only ones in the tournament to have not lost a match so far.
Hosts India, led by skipper Rohit Sharma, have been in excellent form at this year’s tournament, dominating all their opponents to record impressive victories so far. India have been arguably the most composed side at this year’s ICC World Cup, with both the batting and bowling units getting the job done for the Men in Blue.
New Zealand, on the other hand, started their campaign with a resounding victory over England in the tournament opener and have only gone from strength to strength since. Despite the absence of their skipper and arguably their most reliable middle-order batsman – Kane Williamson – the Kiwis have still managed to win all their matches convincingly.
In recent years, the rivalry between the two teams has been growing, with New Zealand knocking India out of the 2019 World Cup with a heartbreaking semi-final defeat and then beating them again to win the inaugural World Test Championship.
Where are India and New Zealand placed on the points table?
While India and New Zealand have both been victorious in 4 encounters so far and hold 8 points, the Kiwis top the ICC World Cup points table due to a superior net run rate of + 1.923 compared to + 1.659 for India. However, despite the lower net run rate if India can manage to win the key clash in Dharamshala, they will be the top side on the points table.
When and where to watch India vs New Zealand encounter?
The India vs New Zealand match will air live on Indian television via Star Sports channels. Indian viewers can also enjoy free live streaming of these matches on the Disney+Hotstar app and website.

IND vs NZ Live: India’s injury troubles
IND vs NZ Live: While the Indian team management already had their work cut out for them with the injury to irreplaceable pace bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya, the problems for Rohit and Co. could get worse as the only two other batsmen in the Indian setup – Surya Kumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan – pulled out of Saturday’s practice session due to health reasons.
SKY, who was likely to take Pandya’s place in the Indian XI against New Zealand on Sunday, was hit on the wrist during the throwdown with Raghvendra and the versatile batsman had to leave the nets in pain.
