After the defeat from Pakistan, the eyes of Team India are now fixed on the match to be played against New Zealand. The T20 World Cup match between India and New Zealand will be played in Dubai on 31 October.
A win in this match will be essential for Kohli & Co to stay in the tournament. However, before this match, some such figures are coming out for the Indian team and fans, which is really worrying.

At the same time, one match was inconclusive due to rain. In T20 WC, both the teams faced a total of two times during this period and both the times the Indian team had to face defeat. New Zealand defeated India by 10 runs in the 2007 T20 WC and by 47 runs in the 2016 T20 WC.
In the 2003 ODI World Cup, Team India defeated New Zealand for the last time in an ICC tournament. India won this match by 7 wickets. After that India could never beat the Kiwi team in major tournaments.
In the semi-finals of the 2019 ODI World, it was the New Zealand team that defeated India and broke the country's dream of winning the World Cup in a jiffy. Williamson & Co defeated India by 18 runs in the semi-final match played on two days due to rain.
This year also in the WTC final, New Zealand won the first title of the Test Championship after defeating India by 8 wickets. Even during the WTC, when the two-Test series was played between the two countries, NZ tasted victory in both.
