India's fifth consecutive victory has vaulted them to the top of the points standings. In Dharamshala, the squad successfully chased down the 278-run mark, with former captain Virat Kohli leading the way with a 95-run performance.
Between the 33rd and 34th over, there was a ray of optimism for the New Zealanders. After Mitchell Santner dismissed KL Rahul, ending his 50-run partnership with Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav was run out for just two runs. Following a short slip-up, though, Jadeja and Kohli's 68-run partnership helped India take back control of the game.
India had earlier replied by batting aggressively as they ventured out to pursue the 274-run total. With an opening stand of 71 runs, Rohit Sharma (46), and Shubhman Gill, established the tone for the chase for runs. The middle pair are KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, who orchestrated a thrilling run chase victory over Australia.
In Sunday's top-of-the-table World Cup match between two undefeated teams, Daryl Mitchell struck a century in the opening innings to lead New Zealand to 273 all out against India. In the Himalayan high town of Dharamsala, New Zealand was invited to bat first and had lost its openers early. However, Mitchell (130) and Rachin Ravindra (75) put on a 159-run partnership to turn the tide of the innings.
The two beat Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth's 1987 record of 136 to create the highest stand between the two nations at a World Cup for any wicket.
In his maiden tournament debut, Mohammed Shami, a fast bowler, recorded figures of 5-54 to help India rally in the last ten overs.
In the 21st match of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023, which took place on October 22 at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, between India and New Zealand, Indian captain Rohit Sharma elected to field first after winning the toss.
While batting first, Mohd Shami took five wickets, Kuldeep Yadav took two, while Bumrah and Siraj each took one wicket to help New Zealand reach 273 runs despite losing all of their wickets. India needs to win the match with 274 runs.
Mitchell (130) and Rachin (75) of New Zealand formed a solid partnership despite a sluggish start and early wicket losses. Nevertheless, they continued to lose wickets after 200 runs, and by the end of 50 overs, they had lost every wicket.

This year's hosts India, captained by captain Rohit Sharma, have dominated every team they have faced to score commanding wins thus far. Both the batting and bowling sections for the Men in Blue have performed admirably, making India perhaps the most composed team participating in the ICC World Cup this year.
Alternatively, New Zealand began their campaign with a convincing win over England in the opening match of the competition and have only improved from then on. Even with their captain and perhaps most consistent middle-order batsman, Kane Williamson, out of the game, the Kiwis have won every game handily.
New Zealand's devastating semi-final loss to India in the 2019 World Cup and subsequent victory over them in the inaugural World Test Championship have only served to deepen the animosity between the two teams in recent years.

New Zealand leads the ICC World Cup points standings with a better net run rate of + 1.923 than India's + 1.659, despite both teams having won four of their previous meetings and amassing eight points.
