The next challenge for the Kiwis will be taking on the India Cricket Team on Sunday. The New Zealand Cricket Team, much like the Men in Blue, have won their two games against Bangladesh and Pakistan and the winner of the tie will go on to top the group.
The biggest question for the Kiwis is whether Daryl Mitchell comes back into the system or not? In the previous game, Mitchell was dropped from the squad with reasons cited as optimizing best batting options for the Rawalpindi pitch.
Will Daryl Mitchell Return?
If that happens, then Michael Bracewell can well be the player who can be moved to the bench. As far as the rest of the squad goes, the team will remain defiant to keep it unchanged after having extracted 2 wins in the previous games.
The top order of Will Young, Devon Conway and Kane Williamson remains untouched. Rachin Ravindra has cemented his spot at number 4 after his brilliant century in the last game. Keeper Tom Latham too has been good after his gritty fifty in the last game.
Ideal, Daryl Mitchell should get a chance. Spinner, Mitchell Santer continues to lead the side. The pacer trio of Kyle Jamieson, William O’Rourke and Matt Henry will look to hit back hard at the Indian batters.
New Zealand Predicted XI
Will Young, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell/Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner (c), Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, William O’Rourke
