World Cup 2019: Rating the performances of the teams at the halfway point of the tournament

India

India

Games Played: 4| Games Won: 3| Games Lost: 0| NR:1

Rating: 9/10

India have been simply outstanding in this World Cup and Virat Kohli and co. have handled the toughest of oppositions with ease and only have England to get past before the group stage ends. They do have their share of problems with star opener Shikhar Dhawan ruled out of the tournament and Bhuvneshwar Kumar sidelined for a few games.

However, the players have clicked and fired in unison and can move higher in the points table with some easier fixtures approaching.

New Zealand

New Zealand's key batsmen have been pretty good so far.

Rating: 9/10

The Black Caps have been absolutely brilliant in this World Cup and are unbeaten with 4 wins and one NR from 5 games. They have beaten Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and South Africa with one washed out fixture against India.

They are, however, yet to face the stronger teams like West Indies, England, and Australia and need their batsmen and strong bowling unit to unite and deliver a strong performance.
