Both India and New Zealand have qualified for the next round; thus, this game will have no effect on qualification. India played two games and won both to qualify for the Super 6s. New Zealand, on the other hand, saw both their previous games against the USA and Bangladesh get washed out. However, the two points they got were enough for them to secure a place in the Super 6s. New Zealand, however, would love to get a full game today and get some game time before the business end of the tournament. India are clear favourites entering the contest, but New Zealand are well capable of beating the Men in Blue.
