If there is one team that has been India’s “nemesis” in ICC events over the past one-and-a-half decades, it is New Zealand. In the last six meetings between both teams in ICC tournaments, it is New Zealand who holds the edge with five wins out of six. India’s only victory was way back in the 2003 World Cup under Sourav Ganguly.
