The 28th Match of the T20 World Cup 2021/22 is scheduled to play India vs New Zealand on Sunday, 31th October 2021 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

The top batting order of India was destroyed by Shaheen Afridi in their first match but we also have some positive signs. Virat Kolhi showed that he can bat well in pressure situations. He scored fifty and also was the highest run-scorer from their side with 57 runs to his name. Rishabh Pant was the other batsman who showed some good power hitting and scored 39 runs with the help of two boundaries and the same huge sixes. Both sixes came with one-handed. We fans are hoping that Ishan Kishan will have a chance to play this match but we don’t think that he can replace KL Rahul in this match.

New Zealand had a grip over the match against Pakistan and they were in the winning situation but Asif Ali and Shoaib Malik faced their bowling unit very well. We don’t think that the performance of the batting order of New Zealand was good. They were at least 20 runs short. They could manage to score 134 runs in their inning of 20 overs. Daryl Mitchell was the most successful batsman from their side who scored 27 runs. He faced 20 deliveries and smashed one boundary and two huge sixes during his inning. Devon Conway was the other batsman who put some runs on the board. He also scored 27 runs.

India had played a total of 16 matches against New Zealand where they won eight while New Zealand had also won 8 matches.

India is overall a strong team as compared to India at least on papers. According to our today prediction, India is the favorite team that will win this match. There are many factors that make India a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

• The batting order of both teams is strong
• Indian players are adjusted in the conditions of Dubai
• New Zealand also has a strong batting order on their side
• The bowling department of both teams is strong

India is full of experienced and young players of the t20 format. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well-known hitters of the t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today’s match for India have been increased. The equation of who will win today’s cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket match today is mentioned as under.

India has a 54% chance to win this match
New Zealand has a 46% chance to win this match

The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team that will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 28th Match of World Cup T20 2021 is going to be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Dubai is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
