I did not know about this record, 20 years is a really long time, did they loose against New Zealand when India won the world cup in 2011 or they did not face each other in that edition.

New Zealand should have scored more runs if not for the brilliant bowling by Mohammed Shami, getting a chance to play in the end and he showed why he is a game changer by picking up 5 wickets and a wicket on the first ball he bowled in this world cup. Kohli and Rohit are in great touch and so does the others and like Ponting mentioned, the team that beats India has the ability to win this edition of the world cup.
