India finished in first place at the end of the league phase with nine wins in nine games. The Kiwis have qualified for the semi-finals with five wins in nine games.
India defeated New Zealand by four wickets in their last game after chasing down the target of 274 runs in 48 overs. Virat Kohli scored 95 runs off 104 deliveries in that game, while Mohammad Shami took a fifer.
India defeated the Netherlands in their last outing by a huge margin of 160 runs after posting a total of 410 runs on the board. The top five made more than 50 runs each for India, which happened for the first time in a World Cup game. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul went on to score their respective centuries.
New Zealand chased down a mere target of 172 runs in 23.2 overs in their last game against Sri Lanka. Tren Boult was the pick of the bowlers for the Kiwis, with three wickets for 37 runs in 10 overs. Devon Conway finished as the highest run-scorer for the team with 45 runs off 42 deliveries.

Player Picks
Rachin Ravindra NZ | ALL
He is just 13 runs away from scoring the most runs for New Zealand in an edition of the ODI World Cup. The 23-year-old all-rounder has scored 565 runs in nine games at an average of 70.62 and a strike rate of 108.44. He has hit three centuries and two half-centuries so far.
Shubman Gill IND | BAT
He is the current number one ODI batter in the ICC rankings. The Indian opener missed a well-deserved century the last time India played at the Wankhede and might look to achieve that number here.
Virat Kohli IND | BAT
He is just six runs away from scoring 600 runs in this edition of the World Cup and becoming only the third Indian batter to reach that number. He is 79 runs short of Sachin Tendulkar’s 673-run mark, which he achieved during the 2003 edition of the World Cup.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Tim Southee
NZ | BOWL
He has played three games so far and has managed just four wickets. He can be avoided in this game.
Mark Chapman
NZ | ALL
He has been dismissed for a single-digit score in three out of his last five outings. Chapman might not be the best pick for your fantasy team.
