IND vs NZ: Head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 28 of T20 World Cup 2021

After an almost week-long break, the Indian cricket team will be in action in the T20 World Cup 2021 tomorrow at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India will play their second match against New Zealand on Sunday evening.

According to former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan, the India vs New Zealand match is a virtual eliminator. Pakistan are six points ahead of both India and New Zealand in the standings. The Men in Green have almost confirmed their place in the semifinals. Both teams lost their opening matches of the T20 World Cup 2021 to Pakistan.

Since only two teams will make it to the semifinals from one group of the Super 12 round, either India or New Zealand will qualify when the two sides meet. Tomorrow's battle will also decide which team will finish second.

Before the India vs New Zealand T20 World Cup 2021 match begins, let's take a look at their head-to-head stats in the T20I arena.
