World Cup 2023: Can India overcome NZ juggernaut

Ind vs NZ Semifinal today

New Zealand has been the India’s nemesis over the years. Be it the 2000 Champions Trophy, 2019 World Cup Semi-Final, or 2021 World Test Championship Final. India has won the 1983 World Cup, 2011 World Cup, and 2013 Champions Trophy, and what’s common between these three? They haven’t faced New Zealand in the tournament.

India will face New Zealand in the Semi-Final today which will be held at Wankhede in Mumbai. India is flying high with 9 wins in the league matches. New Zealand on the other hand has up and down tournaments so far. They have five wins in 9 matches after winning four in a row.

That said, one can’t take New Zealand lightly, at least not India. All the main players from India are on the top at the moment. The bowlers are hunting as a pack. Shami, Bumrah, Siraj, Kuldeep, and Jadeja are on the list of the leading wicket-takers.

Will India go one step ahead this time? Or New Zealand, one of the most consistent sides will hurt India once again?
