Team News

India

After a promising victory against Australia, the win has surely given them a boost, but the setback was attached too as Shikhar Dhawan has been ruled out of the tournament for three weeks owing to hairline thumb fracture.

Rishabh Pant has already boarded an early flight on Thursday, he will only be a part of the Indian 15, if and when Dhawan completely ruled out.

KL Rahul is expected to open the innings with Rohit, and either of Vijay Shankar and Dinesh Karthik will come at no. 4 position.

Wrist spinners have done considerably well in both the match, as they have been able to provide breakthroughs at clinical junctures.

However, we could witness a change in playing 11, due to short boundaries, an extra seamer might chip in.

New Zealand

The table toppers are having a good time in England & Wales, but they till now they have faced only the low ranked teams, their real contest will be on Thursday. Though they have proved their caliber once as they defeated India in the warm-up game.

Kiwi pacers are leading the highest wicket-takers list (Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry), Jimmy Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, and Trent Boult are providing with ample support.

With top order blasting and scoring majority of the runs in three matches played so far, their middle order remains untested so far, which is likely to get in action on Thursday.
