India cruised through the league stage of the tournament, winning all nine of their matches, more often than not by comprehensive margins. However, New Zealand were one of the sides that pushed them to the limit in Dharamsala in the league stage, so they will know the Kiwis cannot be taken lightly.

New Zealand eventually finished fourth in the league stage, qualifying after defeating Sri Lanka in their final match to take their tally to 5 wins. However, with their losses being close ones, they will take heart from the nature of their performances and know that despite India being favourites they are very much contenders to win this game.

Top fantasy picks and tips for IND vs NZ

Virat Kohli: Batter

Even at the age of 35, Virat Kohli continues to plunder runs in the ODI format as he did in his prime, and even his most optimistic fans would not have predicted the kind of tournament he has had so far.

After 9 matches, Kohli leads the run-scoring charts with a total of 594 so far, including 5 fifties and 2 hundreds. While different players in the Indian lineup have put their hand up in each match throughout the tournament, Kohli has more often than not been a pillar of support out in the middle.  

Rachin Ravindra: All-rounder 

If Kohli's exploits at the late stage of his career are impressive, Rachin Ravindra's at his young age are perhaps even more so.

The 23-year-old left-hander has been in excellent touch in just his first World Cup, smashing 565 runs in 9 innings thus far breaking all sorts of records. Ravindra became the first Kiwi to score three centuries in a single World Cup, and he piles on the runs at a frightening pace, as evidenced by his strike rate of 108 so far.

Mohammed Shami: Bowler 

Mohammed Shami has been one of the stars of the World Cup for India but perhaps ironically, was not even in the first choice XI for the Men in Blue at the start of the competition.

Coming into the side after injury struck Hardik Pandya, Shami returned figures of 5/54, 4/22, 5/18 and 2/18 against New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka and South Africa before finally going wicketless against Netherlands in India's final group game. Especially if India bowl second, expect him to wreak havoc with the new ball.
