New Zealand cricket team is having a great time in the ongoing World Cup in India. The Kiwis have won all four matches so far against England, Netherlands, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

The four victories have propelled the Black Caps to the top of the points table. However, New Zealand’s biggest challenge is in the offing as they are due to face hosts India in Dharamsala on Sunday (October 22).

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian side is also on a four-match winning streak and only behind New Zealand on the points table, featuring 10 teams.

Ahead of the game, veteran Kiwi pace Trent Boult acknowledged the tough challenge they will be going to encounter against India.

"They're a powerful team, they cover all bases. They've been playing some good cricket but it's been a team that we've enjoyed playing," Boult said, as quoted by Reuters.

The left-arm quick feels it is important for New Zealand to maintain a positive mindset and execute their strategies effectively.

"These guys are very familiar with the conditions but they feel pressure just as much as any other batsman or any other bowler," he added.

He highlighted the importance of staying grounded and taking each game at a time. "Both undefeated, I'm sure it will be a cracker."

India are coming into this game on the back of thumping victories against Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

"India in India, it doesn't get much bigger than that. Our games so far have been relatively quiet crowds, some people attending, but we understand the intensity's going to go up a little bit here and there might be a firework or two. But hopefully they're for us.

“(We're) looking forward to going out there, showcasing what we can do and just picking up where we've left off," Boult stated.
