IND vs NZ: 3 Player Battles To Watch Out For, T20 World Cup 2021 Match 28. India and New Zealand will be taking on a crucial encounter in group 2 of ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Super 12 stages and it is expected to be a blistering contest. India has never won against New Zealand in T20 World cup fixtures and they have lost the two times they have met the Kiwis. This will be the best time to rewrite that record as the group is heating up already.
India has had been deprived of the trophy chances by New Zealand two times already starting from the epic exit in the 2019 World cup semi-finals for India and then followed it up with a 2021 World Test Championship finals that ended in the Kiwis favour again. Here are 3 player battles to watch out for in the game between India and New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2021 Super 12 stages.
IND vs NZ: 3 Player Battles To Watch Out For:
Trent Boult vs Rohit Sharma:
Rohit on the other hand received a fantastic delivery from Shaheen Afridi to be dismissed for a duck in the first game of the T20 World Cup 2021 and he will know that he should start playing the inswingers lot more cautiously. The right-hander has shown weakness against Boult in the past and it will be interesting to see if Rohit can get on the act against Trent Boult.
Tim Southee vs Virat Kohli:
New Zealand Tim Southee will be one of the threats for the Indian skipper Virat Kohli and he is an experienced T20 bowler who likes to take it away from the right-hander. He is another swing bowler who has been really good at recent times and he will know that the battle against Virat Kohli is not going to be easy.
Virat Kohli on the other hand looked in great touch against the Pakistan side in the first game of T20 World Cup 2021 and his form was one of the positives for India despite their loss to Pakistan. He scored a brisk half-century and he played swing bowling with a lot of merits. However, New Zealand will have two swing bowlers operating from both ends and Virat Kohli will know that he is up for a tougher challenge.
Jasprit Bumrah vs Kane Williamson:
Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best bowlers going around in the world at the moment and he can be a wicket-taking option for India with the new ball. He bowled at a good pace against Pakistan and his natural angle will curb the deliveries into the right-hander making it difficult to play the line. His one or two overs in powerplay will definitely be on the money with no room for the batsman.
Meanwhile, New Zealand’s best batsman in the T20 World Cup 2021 will always be Kane Williamson, and the skipper started off his innings on a positive note in the game against Pakistan. Williamson can be late sometimes when it’s on the pads and hence brings the LBW option into play. His threat will be against Bumrah who likes to york the batsman suddenly.
