New Zealand recorded their highest-ever total of 273 all out against India in the ODI World Cups at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala, on Sunday.

Men’s ODI WC: As the game went by, the partnership started to grow, says Rachin Ravindra
He walked in when Devon Conway fell for an eight-ball duck and saw Will Young chop onto his stumps.

Men's ODI WC: 'England keep getting their decisions wrong', says Nasser Hussain

Both teams are yet to lose a game in the competition, with New Zealand last losing to India in an ODI World Cup game back in 2003.

Men's ODI World Cup: It was like breathing in hot air, says Klaasen of the conditions in which he blasted 109 against England
On Saturday, he struck his third ODI hundred of the year -- an incredible 67-ball 109 that took the game from England and set up South Africa's 229-run victory in Match 20 of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday. Klaasen said he would rate this as one of his better hundreds purely based on the conditions he played in.

Pandya has been ruled out of India's match against New Zealand after injuring his left ankle in their previous match against Bangladesh at the MCA Stadium in Pune. While trying to stop a boundary hit by Litton Das on third ball of the ninth over, Pandya seemed to twist his left ankle in his follow-through after slipping in the process of saving the four and went off the field, to not participate in rest of the game.
Men's ODI WC: Batting first would have been a better decision, says Jos Buttler after England's 229-run defeat
Buttler chose to field first after winning the toss, hoping to restrict South Africa to a manageable score and then chasing the score easily in the dew-laden conditions. But fielding in the hot and humid conditions with temperatures around 32 degrees and humidity 90 per cent, England's players were totally drained and disheartened that batting proved an onerous task.
Men’s ODI WC: Rahul's really kept superbly in this tournament; batted really well, says Dravid
