    How team's have weathered the Covid storm is the question awaiting the men's Black Sticks

    How team's have weathered the Covid storm is the question awaiting the men's Black Sticks


    The ninth ranked New Zealanders take on the fifth ranked Indians from 1pm.

    Captain Blair Tarrant says the lack of competition means teams don't know as much about each other.



    The Black Sticks women also face a tricky opponent in their opener on Sunday.

    The sixth ranked New Zealanders play world number one Argentina.
