The clash of the invincibles (and a match where one team will lose the tag)

Hello and Welcome to the live updates of match 18 of ICC World Cup 2019 between India and New Zealand. Both the teams are in red hot form, and the clash will be a test of strength for both. New Zealand defeated India in the warm-up game, but in the main event, things can change and the unexpected can haappen.

India have suffered a setback because of Shikhar Dhawan's injury. Dhawan has been their most prolific batsman in the ICC tournaments and his absence means that the team management can push KL Rahul to the top of the line-up. This will be first time KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma will open the batting together in the ODI, and onus will be on them to give India a perfect start against the likes of Trent Boult and Matt Henry.

The Indian team management mayinclude one from Dinesh Karthik/Vijay Shankar/Rishabh Pant in case KL Rahul opens the batting.
