T20 World Cup: India vs NZ Live updates: Kishan, Rahul, Rohit depart early; India in deep trouble : Rashtra News
The two teams were completely outclassed by a rampaging Pakistan which jolted their campaign and exposed the gaping holes in their preparations. A win here will keep the team in contention for the semi-finals but a second loss on the trot will put a major dent in the other team’s pursuit for glory.
With Pakistan almost through to the semis on the back of three consecutive wins in the tournament, both India and New Zealand are vying for the second semi-finalists spot from Group 2.
Virat Kohli-led side suffered a humiliating 10-wicket defeat last Sunday and they will be playing their second game after a week’s time. While Kane Williamson and his band suffered a loss by 5 wickets against the same opponents two days later.
Top-order batsmen failed to give India a decent start in the powerplay against Pakistan as left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi gave the Men In Blue early setbacks. In Trent Boult, New Zealand have a similar bowler and the Kiwis would be looking to exploit this weakness of their opponents.
Team India’s batting combination for the match against New Zealand is also going to be worth watching as voices to include explosive left-arm batsman Ishan Kishan as an opener and pushing KL Rahul to number four have been gaining momentum.
India’s bowling against Pakistan was very ordinary and captain Kohli might make at least one change in this department too as senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar looked out of sheen. Also, the fact that Indians have never won a match against New Zealand in T20 World Cup might put extra pressure on them.
New Zealand also face similar concerns although their bowling was better against Pakistan as compared to India’s. The Kiwi batting attack is also studded with some T20 specialists but captain Kane will be hoping for a better effort from his fellow batters tonight against tough opponents, India. There is also suspense over the fitness of opener Martin Guptill as he suffered an injury during the game against Pakistan.

Here are the live updates from the match between India and Pakistan:
08-09 pm
4 runs came from that over bowled by Ish Sodhi and India reach 41/3 in 8 overs.
08-07 pm
Wicket! Rohit Sharma (14) mistimes Ish Sodhi and India are three down! He tries to hit the spinner for a biggie over mid-on fails to connect and Guptill takes a fine catch. India 40/3 and they are in deep trouble.
08-05 pm
Just two runs came from that over bowled by Mitchell Santner as India reach 37/2 in 7 overs.
08-02 pm
Not an ideal start for India in the powerplay as they could only post 35 for the loss of two wickets.
07-59 pm
Wicket!! KL Rahul (18) pulls Tim Southee and finds a fielder at deep square-leg. Daryl Mitchell takes his second catch of the evening. India – 35/2 in 5.5 overs.
07-57 pm
Four! Inside-edge for KL Rahul and he gets a lucky boundary off Tim Southee.
07-56 pm
Four & SIX!!! Rohit first hits Milne for a boundary towards the point.
He then pulls the bowler for a maximum over mid-wicket!
India – 29/1 after 5 overs.
07-54 pm
Four! KL Rahul hits a brilliant boundary towards the deep point off Adam Milne. Pressure-relieving shot this.
07-52 pm
Sluggish start for Team India in the powerplay as they reach 14/1 in 4 overs. Not the start they would have hoped for as their approach has been a little defensive early on.
07-48 pm
The ploy to promote Ishan Kishan proved ineffective for India. He was feeling the pressure of the big match from the first ball he faced.
Gambit of promoting Ishan Kishan to optimise runs in powerplay has bombed. India saved utter disaster with Milne putting down a Rohit sitter first ball. Shaky start by India.

Dropped! Rohit Sharma pulls the short-pitched bouncer from Trent Boult and failed to get the distance, luckily the fielder at deep fine-leg put it down.
07-44 pm
Wicket! Ishan Kishan (4) flicks Trent Boult towards the fine leg but finds a fielder in the deep. Daryll Mitchell takes a simple catch. India – 11/1 in 2.5 overs.
07-42 pm
Four! Ishan Kishan hits his #MumbaiIndians teammate Trent Boult with a boundary over mid-wicket. He gets off the mark in style.
07-41 pm
After two overs, India reach 6/0. Ishan Kishan is yet to get off the mark.
07-40 pm
This is only the third occasion since 2013 when Rohit Sharma isn’t opening for India in T20Is. He scored 0 & 60* the two previous times he batted in the middle order.
07-38 pm
Four! KL Rahul hits Tim Southee just over mid-on fielder and gets his first boundary of the innings.
07-37 pm
Tight first over from Trent Boult as he concedes just 1. Tim Southee will be bowling the second over for New Zealand.
07-32 pm
Surprise-Surprise! KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan have walked into the middle to open innings for India. This is a new opening pair for India. Rohit will bat at number 3. Trent Boult starts the proceedings with the new ball for NZ.
07-26 pm
National Anthems are being held!
07-21 pm
Trent Boult, NZ pacer: Bubble life at its finest really, some good time to prepare for a big match tonight. The boys are very eager and excited to get out there today. The boys are in good spirits, spent a lot of time together with the bubble life that we are in. It’s an exciting tournament, seems like there’s been a lot of cricket played by a lot of the other teams. Hopefully, we can get on a bit of a roll. Played a little bit here in the last couple of months but every wicket is different here and you’re looking for the overhead and see if it’s going to swing. We’ve done enough planning and it’s just about going out there and putting that on the page and see what happens. Not too bad, not much swing there in the early stages. Hopefully, I can get the ball in my hand earlier tonight and see what happens. Win the toss and go big (chuckles).
07-18 pm
New Zealand Playing XI: Martin Guptill, Daryl Mitchell, Kane Williamson(c), James Neesham, Devon Conway(w), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Trent Boult.
07-15 pm
India (Playing XI): Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy.
07-14 pm
Virat Kohli, India captain: We would have bowled first as well. We need a solid start and have wickets in hand to get those extra 20-25 runs are the learnings from the last game. We do have the bowling line-up to take wickets, but when you don’t have runs on the board one partnership can take the game away from you. We understand that and plans are there to get those extra runs. It’s ridiculous, we are playing twice in 10 days. Too long a break, but yeah, the guys have recovered well. Had good practice sessions, are itching to go out on the field, which is a good thing. When you have so many days off you want to get on the park and get into the groove. It’s another opportunity to come out and correct the mistakes. Two changes. One forced, Surya has a lower back spasm, so Ishan Kishan will replace him and open the batting. Shardul Thakur replaces Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
07-14 pm
Kane Williamson, New Zealand captain: We are going to bowl, dew factor at this time of the year. Hopefully a bit of movement on the surface like the other night. Look forward to another challenge against these guys who are obviously one of the favourites in the tournament. One change, Adam Milne comes in for Tim Seifert. Just us a nice balance to our bowling attack provides us with the extra pace as well. Conway will keep.
07-07 pm
New Zealand have made one change in the Playing XI. Adam Milne comes in for Tim Seifert. Conway will be keeping the wickets.
India Playing XI Update: Ishan Kishan replaces injured Suryakumar Yadav. Shardul Thakur replaces Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Kishan will open the innings for Team India, KL Rahul to bat at number 3 in the middle order.
07-03 pm
Toss Update: Kane Williamson wins toss, elects to bowl against India. Kohli is unlucky with the toss yet again.
06-53 pm
NZ opener Martin Guptill is fit and available for the big match against India.
India all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur are marking their run-ups in the ground. Is Bhuvneshwar Kumar going to sit out?
05-41 pm
This is what India captain Virat Kohli had to say ahead of the match against tough competitors ‘NZ’.
🗣️ “They are one of the top two sides when it comes to playing consistent cricket.”
India are wary of the threat posed by New Zealand ahead of the blockbuster clash between the two sides 🤜🤛 #T20WorldCup https://t.co/SRsMKWloZB

Mohammad Shami – who has troubled Kane Williamson a lot – will be Virat Kohli’s go-to man tonight when the NZ captain walks in.
#ViratKohli sure knows the formula to seeing Kane Williamson declared 𝗢𝗨𝗧! 😏
🗣️ #IndiaIndia if you think #Shami will get his man in #INDvNZ!
