The highly anticipated semi-final of the current ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup between India and New Zealand is about to take place. On Wednesday, November 15, the crucial match is set to take place at Mumbai’s renowned Wankhede Stadium, the site of India’s 2011 second ODI World Cup victory over Sri Lanka, which they achieved by a six-wicket margin.
With a record of winning all nine of their group stage matches, the Rahul Dravid-coached team has enjoyed an incredible run in the current campaign. At the end of the ODI World Cup, the Men in Blue had the highest point total (18). Having won five and lost four, the Kiwis, on the other hand, are in fourth position.
In the upcoming encounter, which is a rematch of the 2019 Cricket World Cup semi-final, India will look to get revenge on the Black Caps. The Virat Kohli-led team was then chasing a subpar 240 on the wet semi-final day at Old Trafford in Manchester. India suffered a heartbreaking 18-run loss as they were unable to reach the finish line, despite amazing half-centuries from MS Dhoni (50) and Ravindra Jadeja (77) later in the order. In the meantime, India overcame their 20-year curse against New Zealand in an ICC tournament, defeating the Kiwis by four wickets in the Dharamshala group-stage match.
Rain is not predicted for the India vs. New Zealand ODI World Cup semifinal.
India vs. New Zealand in the opening semi-final of the 2023 ODI World Cup will begin at 2 p.m. (IST) at Mumbai’s legendary Wankhede Stadium.
