NEW DELHI: India face a significant challenge as they prepare to face fellow unbeaten team New Zealand in the ICC World Cup on Sunday, with the winning team getting a step closer to the semi-finals.
India's chances have suffered a setback by the absence of star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who sustained an ankle injury in that match against Bangladesh, which ruled him out of the crucial clash against New Zealand. Both India and New Zealand have played four matches so far and won all four. New Zealand sit atop the points table because of their better net run rate.
