Why New Zealand tend to beat India in pressure matches despite lossing in series matches

1.less expectations

They have qualified in almost every icc events since 2015 and also one tournament win but still everytime they enter the tournament as underdogs or none speak about them so it clearly releases a huge pressure even if they loss noone speaks about that. While India almost enters every tournament as favorites so the pressure is always on them and when they loss one then it becomes the biggest talking point so they are under huge pressure to win all games.

2. Comperatively lesser recognized players:

there is kane williamson, boult but the expectations on them is comperatively lesser then what Indian players bring in the tournament. The fans and fellow country people will appreciate them even if they take a catch but if someone like kohli,rohit,kl steps on field we expect them to score 50s and 100 every single time.

3.usage of franchise cricket

They tend to play for different leagues in the world unlike for money they mainly focus on training and adjusting to those pitches. For example before this wc boult kane southee milne used ipl as a platform to prepare for wc their board also allowed them to train in ipl over playing in bangladesh. While India on other hand board doesn't allow them to participate any leagues as that they may loss intrest in internationals and move towards leagues for excessive earnings. The only league they play is ipl and they are only allowed for one day and county of England but the problem is it is used to be played during ipl times or main schedule so players tend to avoid it. As a result they are struggling to adopt in sena tours.

4.fitness of entire side 

If you take the fielding and fitness aspect kiwis stand way ahead of India and also stand in top3 sides. New Zealand tend to put their body on line almost every single of them are fit and can take extraordinary catches and stop balls going to boundary which ensures that they are cutting atleast 10-20 runs from opposition total. While on the other hand the number fit players in Indian side is very less we can have a finger count on fit players while if you speak about fielding skills then you need to hide 4-5 players in field whom themselves concedes more then 10 runs for example: in recent world cup India was forced to hide varun bumrah chahar shami and even ashwin so as a result fielders like kl kohli jaddu rohit is forced to occupy every single key places themselves.
