Live Cricket Score, India vs New Zealand, 2019 World Cup: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of India vs New Zealand, 2019 World Cup Match 18 live from Trent Bridge in Nottingham. Stay tuned for live updates and ball-by-ball commentary fro the IND vs NZ clash. Team India is all set to take the revenge of warm-up match humiliation from New Zealand on Thursday. The Men in Blue started the tournament on a positive note with two big wins over South Africa and Australia but the major setback they received is the injury of the opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan who is in outstanding form. Dhawan smashed a scintillating hundred against Australia but he injured his thumb in the same game that ruled him out of the next three weeks. On the other hand, the New Zealand team is at the top of the table with three wins in three matches. Despite the clinical performances, the Kiwis are not the favourites in the contest as they have not faced a strong team till now in competition. It will be a cracker of a contest between the two teams. Follow all the live score and updates from India vs New Zealand match here
