Team News:
- Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan has been ruled out of tomorrow's match after suffering a fractured thumb.
- Either Vijay Shankar or Dinesh Karthik is likely to replace Dhawan in India's starting XI. KL Rahul will open the batting.
- New Zealand will be hesitant to change their winning combination.
- Jimmy Neesham picked up a 5-wicket haul against the Afghans last time out. He is nailed-on to start against the Indians as well.
Match Tips:
- Weather Forecast: It is likely to be a very wet day in Nottinghamshire tomorrow with a very high chance of rain.
- However, the rain is expected to ease up in the afternoon so we may get a shortened match.
- Heavy overcast conditions are expected to favour the quicker bowlers in tomorrow's match.
- The Trent Bridge pitch has generally favoured the batsmen in the series so far. If the opening batsmen are able to negotiate the early movement, a decent total may be in the offing for the batting side.
- Match Prediction: New Zealand head into this match after registering 3 wins in the opening three matches of their World Cup campaign. The Kiwis also defeated the Indians in the pre-tournament warm-up game.
- India will be hopeful of continuing their winning start to the tournament by getting the better of the Kiwis on Thursday.
- A very tight match is in prospect tomorrow.

India: KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (C), Vijay Shankar/Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni (WK), Hardik Pandya, Kedar Jadhav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah.
