Champions Trophy: India vs New Zealand head-to-head records in ICC events

India lead New Zealand will face them in the Champions Trophy for the first time since the 2000 edition

The final group-stage game of the ICC Champions Trophy will see India take on New Zealand in a Group A clash to determine who finishes at the top of the points table on Sunday, March 2, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India and New Zealand have played some very exciting matches over the years, and their encounters gain even more prominence at ICC events. So, before these two teams once again share the field on Sunday, let’s take a look at their head-to-head records in ICC events. 

 

IND vs NZ in ODI World Cups 

India and New Zealand have shared victories in their World Cup history, making this rivalry an exciting one. In the early years, New Zealand had the upper hand, winning multiple encounters, but India bounced back in the late 1980s and early 2000s. The 2019 semi-final remains one of the most memorable matches, where New Zealand eliminated India with an 18-run victory. Rain played a role in the 2019 group-stage match, which was abandoned. India have performed well in some editions, but New Zealand have been more successful in knockout games.

IND vs NZ in T20 World Cups 

New Zealand have been dominant over India in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup encounters, winning all three matches convincingly. The first meeting in 2007 was closely contested, with New Zealand winning by just 10 runs. However, in later encounters, New Zealand won more comfortably, including a massive 47-run victory in 2016 and an eight-wicket win in 2021. India have struggled against New Zealand’s bowling attack in T20 World Cup games, often failing to chase or post competitive totals.
