Pandya comes into the attack and starts with a dot ball. The rest of the balls are all worked away for a run apiece. India still have three more matches left in the tournament, against Namibia, Afghanistan and Scotland. But their chances of making it to the semis are now slim.
After losing their tournament opener to Group II leaders Pakistan, New Zealand restricted India’s lauded batting line-up to 110 for seven before rattling off their victory target with more than five overs to spare. The Ludhiana-born Sodhi, who took the prized wickets of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, said Santner’s spell in the middle overs also helped the other bowlers. India have lost their two games with big margins and hence, are also down on the Net Run Rate, which may prove to be a factor if India manage to win all of their remainder of the Group games. And welcome to the live coverage of the blockbuster clash between India and New Zealand being played at the Dubai International Stadium in the UAE.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup was hosted by Brazil, the first held in South America since Argentina 1978, and was the first occasion where consecutive World Cups were held outside Europe. Early World Cups were given to countries at meetings of FIFA’s congress. The locations were controversial because South America and Europe were by far the two centres of strength in football and travel between them required three weeks by boat. The decision to hold the first World Cup in Uruguay, for example, led to only four European nations competing. The decision to hold the second of these in France was disputed, as the South American countries understood that the location would alternate between the two continents. Both Argentina and Uruguay thus boycotted the 1938 FIFA World Cup.
