IND vs NZ Match: The Indian cricket team is going to confront New Zealand in their last match of the Champions Trophy. Both teams have already reached the semi -finals, but still this match is quite important as these teams will try to stay on top in Group A with victory. In such a situation, Team India will try to launch a strong playing 11 against a dangerous team like New Zealand.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will start the innings.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will be the opener in India’s playing XI for the upcoming match against New Zealand. After sharing more than fifty runs against Bangladesh, Rohit and Gill shared a 31 -run partnership for the first wicket against Pakistan. Rohit and Gill will try to form a big partnership against New Zealand. Rohit was dismissed by 20 runs against Pakistan, while Gill scored 46 runs against Pakistan after completing a century against Bangladesh. Gill and Rohit have been giving India a good start for a long time, so they will also have a big responsibility against New Zealand.
This player will be in the middle order.
Virat Kohli has returned to the form by scoring a match winning century against Pakistan. He will once again be the number 3 of Team India. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer has also continued his magnificent form by scoring a half -century. Iyer will once again come at number 4 for Team India. Apart from this, KL Rahul did not get a chance to bat against Pakistan. But this player is the number 5 batsman of Team India. India’s playing 11 will have three all -rounders in the match against New Zealand – Akshar Patel, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja. Even though he has not contributed much with the bat, he has done wonders with the ball. Pandya took 2 wickets while Jadeja and Akshar took 1-1 wickets.
Team India’s bowling will change.
Indian bowling lineup may change. If the Indian team decides to give rest to Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh can return to India’s playing XI. Shami suffered a match injury against Pakistan. Although Shami’s injury is not serious, the team management would not want to take any risk, as he has recently returned after a long break from the injury.
Bharat can rest back Arshdeep Singh by resting Shami as already safe in the semi -finals. On the other hand, players like Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav are expected to retain their place in India’s playing 11. Kuldeep took 3 wickets against Pakistan, while Harshit Rana took 1 wicket.
Potential playing of Team India 11: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav.
