Ind Vs NC World Cup semi-final
Ind Vs NZ: Once again the semi-final match of the ICC ODI World Cup between India and New Zealand is to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Every Indian will hope that this time the result goes in our favour.
Mumbai: Team India, which reached the semi-finals with a score of 9/9 after defeating 9 different teams in 9 different cities, would like to score a perfect 10 in the ODI World Cup 2023. However, this match is going to be the toughest match of this tournament for Team India, just two wins away from the third world title.
It’s difficult because this match will be played more in the mind than on the field. Four years ago, in the ODI World Cup, India lost in the semi-finals against the same Kiwi team and once again, when the same team faces the semi-finals, the previous result will create pressure. If we compare the two teams on the field, Team India appears to be 20 in every aspect, but no team is perfect and along with strengths, every team also has weaknesses.

In this match, India won the toss and batted first and scored 397 runs losing four wickets. In response, the Kiwi team could score only 327 runs after losing all the wickets.
