Both teams are yet to lose a game in the competition, with New Zealand last losing to India in an ODI World Cup game back in 2003. With no Hardik Pandya unavailable due to a left ankle injury sustained in India’s previous game against Bangladesh at Pune, Suryakumar has been brought in place of him to boost the batting power.

But to strengthen their bowling in Hardik’s absence, India have brought in Shami and left out a fast-bowling all-rounder in Thakur. The two changes means India will play with just five bowlers in the clash against New Zealand, which means if one of them has an off day, there’s no sixth bowling option available.

“No particular reason (to bowl first). In training yesterday, we thought dew came in early. Good pitch, shouldn’t change too much. Important to keep momentum going and forget the past. We know the nature of the WC – all teams can beat anyone. This is one place everyone wants to come and play. Picturesque,” said Rohit after winning the toss.
