IND vs NZ, ICC World Cup 2023: India elected to bowl first after Rohit Sharma won the toss against unbeaten New Zealand in their world cup match in Dharamshala.
Nicholls is a key member of New Zealand's Test squad. He has eight centuries in 46 games, with a 40.38 average.
Notably, New Zealand Cricket is currently having a camp for cricketer from the national men's and women's teams based in North Island.
"The reality is that it is a huge financial challenge for a lot of cricket boards to still run without any revenue coming in from games," Neesham said.
Going by just the stats, form, and man to man abilities though, India start as favourites against the Kiwis.
Despite wicketkeeper-batsman Tom Latham’s fighting half-century (57), the Kiwis never really threatened to go past the England total, eventually managing only 186 and getting bowled out in 45 overs.
Kane Williamson's men would be more than resolved to win their fourth successive match of the competition and achieve the highest point at ICC CWC points table.
Williamson was the top scorer for New Zealand when they chased down the target of 173 runs quite comfortably after Jimmy Neesham's career best 5/31 helped Kiwis restrict the Afghanistan batting to a paltry 172 at Taunton
New Zealand will begin as the clear favourites against Afghanistan when the two sides meet in the thirteenth match of the ICC World Cup 2019
