IND vs NZ Preview:
- Virat Kohli has displayed remarkable form in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, boasting two centuries, five half-centuries, and an impressive average of 99.00 from his nine innings. Our suggestion is to support him as India’s leading run-scorer against New Zealand. Jasprit Bumrah has proven to be a formidable force with a competition strike-rate of 25.70, securing wickets at an average of 15.64. With a career tally of 146 ODI wickets, he stands as our top pick for India’s leading wicket-taker in the semi-finals.
- Rachin Ravindra stands out among the competition’s top run-scorers, having accumulated over 550 runs. The 23-year-old showcased his attacking prowess by scoring 75 runs from 87 balls in the previous game against India. Our choice for New Zealand’s highest run-scorer in this match is Rachin Ravindra. Trent Boult, having dismissed Shreyas Iyer in the last encounter and delivering an impressive 3/37 against Sri Lanka in Match 41, emerges as a robust candidate for New Zealand’s top wicket-taker against India.
- Virat Kohli’s exceptional batting form is complemented by his recent bowling success, having picked up a wicket in the previous match. We recommend selecting him to surpass 31.5 runs in this upcoming fixture.
