Much like their competitors today, the Black Caps have won all of their four games so far in the tourney. Kiwis are unbeaten against India in an ICC event since 2003.
With an unbeaten status riding high in this game, will the weather play a spoilsport in the IND Vs NZ game:
As per AccuWeather, the temperature for today will be 31°c. There will be cloud cover with 98% chance of it.
