Match Preview
The ODI World Cup 2023 hosts, India, are set to lock horns with 2015 and 2019 finalists New Zealand on October 22, Sunday. The match is slated to be played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala. Both teams are coming on the back of four consecutive wins in the tournament. While the Kiwis sit on the top of the standings, the Men in Blue slipped to the second spot after being the table-toppers for some time.
Toss Prediction
Looking back at the toss battles of the last five three fixtures played by both the teams, both the captains won one toss each in the ongoing season of the marquee ICC event. While Rohit Sharma and Tom Latham level each other in the toss wars, we feel that the home ground factor will play its charm in the forthcoming battle, and the India skipper will come on top of the toss.
Win Possibility
The two-time champions, India, and New Zealand have faced each other in 116 matches in the 50-over format. Out of those 116 matches, the Asian Giants have won 58 matches, while the Black Caps snitched victory in 50 matches. The data shows that both teams share a very close rivalry. However, there are certain things that make us believe that Rohit Sharma and Co. are favourites to win the upcoming match.
They are team India's recent performances, including the Asia Cup 2023 final as well as the India vs Australia ODI series. They have outdone themselves in their last clashes of the ongoing tournament. Not only this, but the absence of the Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson from the squad will also add to their advantages and they would win the upcoming game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala has been slated to host a total of five matches in the 13th edition of the ODI World Cup. Looking back at the overall records of the venue, a total of seven matches have been played at the game, with an average first-inning score of 214.5 and a powerplay score of 39.
Considering this, we think the first-inning score in the upcoming game would be between 255-275, while the powerplay score would lie between 38-43.
