India vs New Zealand: The years and the game have changed though. But New Zealand’s series of giving pain to India in big tournaments and championships did not change. First in cricket and now in the Hockey World Cup, New Zealand dashed India’s hopes and gave an unforgettable pain. New Zealand defeated India 5-4 in the penalty shootout in the cross-over round of the Men’s Hockey World Cup being held in India a day earlier. With this, the host India was out of the tournament even before reaching the quarter-finals.

This is not the first time that New Zealand has given a blow to India’s hopes in the World Cup or any other major tournament. Earlier, New Zealand has done this on several occasions. Hardly anyone will forget the 2019 ODI World Cup. In the semi-finals of that tournament held in England, New Zealand defeated India and broke their hopes of winning the title.
