IND vs NZ LIVE Score: Driven by a desire for redemption, the Indian cricket team is currently facing the Kiwis once more in the semi-final of the 2023 edition. The highly anticipated showdown is being held at the historic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The 2019 ICC World Cup semi-final remains a poignant memory for Indian fans, marked by the heartbreak of India’s defeat to New Zealand.
Teams:
New Zealand (Playing XI): Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson(c), Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Tom Latham(w), Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj
India have been exceptional in the tournament, boasting a flawless record with nine wins in the challenging group stage. Their wins have showcased dominance, winning five matches while chasing and the remaining four while setting a target.
This shows their ability to adapt regardless of the coin toss outcome. The dominance of their nine wins is evident, with no opposing team coming within 100 runs during chases, and only once did they require more than 250 balls to secure win.
In contrast, the New Zealand team’s journey to this stage has been more of a roller coaster ride, winning five and losing four group-stage matches. Their qualification wasn’t confirmed until the final round of matches.
This semi-final encounter in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 marks the second meeting between the two teams. In their earlier clash during the group stage, India convincingly defeated the Black Caps by four wickets.
