India vs New Zealand live stream — how to watch Cricket World Cup online

The HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala hosts the 21st match of the 2023 Cricket World Cup and brings together the only two teams with 100% records. Although tournament hosts India have been gaining more of the praise, it is New Zealand who top the group. Having been sent in to bat New Zealand have been bowled out off the last ball for 273. Daryl Mitchell, who came in at 19-2, scored 130 off 127 balls and shared a third wicket partnership of 159 with Rachin Ravindra. Mohammed Shami took 5-54. Read on and we'll show you how to watch this key match live from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

Losing finalists in the past two world cups, New Zealand have, as ever, gone about their work unobtrusively and effectively. They rarely have a plethora of star players but they have reached the semis in eight of the dozen tournaments.

The Blackcaps have had the easier set of fixtures so far. After thrashing holders England in the opening game, the Kiwis have beaten a trio of sides not expected to challenge for a semi-final berth: Netherlands, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. India have beaten Afghanistan and Bangladesh too, but also Australia and Pakistan.

India’s batting has been powered by captain Rohit Sharma (265 runs off 193 balls) and Virat Kohli (259 runs off 287 balls). Their bowling has been lead by Bumrah, Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav who have all taken wickets while being miserly, going at only 3.62, 3.75 and 4.10 runs per over respectively.

Just how good is this Indian side is? We will have more of an idea after this game. It's a day/night match, starting at 2pm IST. Here's everything you need to get India vs New Zealand live streams and watch ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 from anywhere.
