New Delhi. The 21st match of the World Cup 2023 is being played between India and New Zealand at the Dharamshala Stadium in Himachal Pradesh on Sunday. Both the teams have won 4 matches so far in the tournament. New Zealand team is ranked number one due to good net run rate. If Team India succeeds in defeating Team New Zealand, they will occupy the first position in the points table. Captain Rohit Sharma has won the toss and decided to bowl first. Rohit Sharma said that Pandya is out of the team.
Hardik Pandya fell to the ground while trying to block the ball with his feet during the match against Bangladesh. He sprained his leg, after which he left the field. Hardik Pandya will not be seen in the match against New Zealand. Rohit Sharma has included Suryakumar Yadav in his place. Who will make up for Pandya’s shortcomings in batting? At the same time, to enhance the fast bowling options, the team management has dropped Shardul Thakur and given Mohammed Shami a chance.
