India Vs New Zealand Live Score: In the first game of the T20 World Cup 2021, India were on the right side of history against Pakistan. However, today against New Zealand, they are on the wrong side of the friendly rivalry. Virat Kohli-led India have never beaten Kane Williamson’s New Zealand in a T20 WC match. Pakistan had a similar record against IND until last Sunday. Today, the “Men in Blue” have an opportunity to buck the trend and break the jinx against NZ. Moreover, both sides head into their second game of the showpiece event on the back of a win. Both teams have everything to play for. And that is why this is an unmissable game.

It is the worst possible start to India’s Super 12 campaign as their total of 151/7 was chased down emphatically by Pakistan as they won by 10 wickets. All-rounder Hardik Pandya is injured heading into this game, while batter Ishan Kishan was left out against Pakistan despite scoring 70 not out against England and could be brought in. Pakistan put New Zealand into bat in Sharjah this past Tuesday in 19th Match, and they managed only 134/8 from their 20 overs, a losing total that leaves them with no wins at all in this T20 World Cup, as is the case with India.
