New Zealand will be eyeing a repeat of the 2019 World Cup semi-finals when they take the field against India at the last-four stage this time on Wednesday. The World Cup 2023 semi-final between India and New Zealand is scheduled to be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
New Zealand’s performances in white-ball cricket have been spectacular in recent times and the Black Caps have now reached the semis in five consecutive ODI World Cups. After conceding four back-to-back defeats at the league stage this time, the Black Caps returned to winning ways in their last game against Sri Lanka.
The Kiwis finished their league stage campaign at the fourth spot to qualify for the semis. New Zealand and India have already faced each other at the group stage and the hosts had emerged victorious in that contest by four wickets on October 22.

Meanwhile, Team India will enter the knockouts as clear favourites having been the only unbeaten team of the competition. The Rohit Sharma-led side were atop the points table after the conclusion of the group stage. India will head into the semis having clinched a 160-run victory in their last game against the Netherlands.
