As the top ranked 50-over side in the world and on a hot streak of form, India came into this tournament as favorites to add to the T20 World Cup trophy they lifted last year. Playing all their games in Dubai certainly hasn't hurt their chances, and nor has talismanic Virat Kohli finding his best form. Much praise has been piled on their four spinners, but seamer Mohammed Shami has also led from the front with eight wickets so far.
That haul is only eclipsed by New Zealand's brilliant Matt Henry, so he's a massive loss today. However, experience and youth have combined with the bat for the Black Caps throughout, with Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra both scoring fabulous centuries in their dismantling of South Africa in the semi-final.
India overcame New Zealand in a tightknit encounter in the groups, but the Black Caps have come closest to getting one over Rohit Sharma's men. Can they pull off a surprise smash and grab today?
