India vs New Zealand Match Prediction: IND vs NZ Who will Win

India and New Zealand are coming into this semifinal with contrasting forms.

The Indian team Have steamrolled all of their opponents so far. The Indian team has been a dominating force in this World Cup and is looking excellent in all departments. With nine victories out of nine matches, things are looking rosy for Rohit Sharma and his team.

On the other hand, New Zealand have had an inconsistent period. After winning their first four matches, they lost their next four and needed a victory in their last match against a feeble Sri Lanka side to qualify for the semi-finals. The Black Caps have lost against all the other three semifinal teams and that is a matter of concern for them.

With a place in the Final on the cards, the Kiwis will be aiming to make it for the third time in a row. They have been unsuccessful in the Final in the last two editions, but this time a robust Indian side is in their way of the Finals.

With the home support for the hosts and their superior talent on the field, it is looking like India will book their place in the Final.
