india vs new zealand
All eyes were on the 41st match of the ODI World Cup 2023, which was played between New Zealand and Sri Lanka at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. By winning this match by 5 wickets, the Kiwi team has almost completely confirmed its place in the semi-finals. New Zealand, playing its last match in the league stage, now has 10 points and its net run rate has also reached 0.743. Now it seems impossible for Pakistan to remove the Kiwi team from this position. In such a situation, the first semi-final match of the mega event is expected to be played between hosts India and New Zealand in Mumbai. Regarding this match, now Kiwi fast bowler Trent Boult has also given a big statement regarding the performance of the Indian team so far in this tournament.
We will be fully prepared this time
After the victory in the match against Sri Lanka, Trent Boult, in response to a question regarding the semi-final match with India in the press conference, said that Team India is playing very positive cricket and I think playing shots gives opportunities. But this time we will play against them with full preparation. I think this match is going to be very exciting and as I said, it cannot be bigger than facing India in front of one and a half billion people. Yes, it will be very exciting. Coming up against the host nation, a team that is in great spirits, playing good cricket – you can’t ask for a better story than that.
Let us tell you that in the 2019 World Cup, when India faced New Zealand in the semi-finals at the Manchester ground, the Kiwi team won by 18 runs. At the same time, New Zealand’s record in ICC knockout matches against India is also quite excellent.
Indian team defeated Kiwi team in league stage
Team India has seen a completely one-sided performance so far in this World Cup. In the league stage match played against New Zealand at Dharamshala ground, the Indian team won the match by four wickets. In this match, Bolt proved to be very expensive as a bowler, in which he took only 1 wicket for just 60 runs in his 10 overs.
