India face New Zealand in the semi-finals of World Cup 2019 on Tuesday, 9th July at Old Trafford in Manchester.
Team India’s extraordinary run in the 2019 World Cup continued in the team’s last group game where they defeated Sri Lanka with ease, securing the top spot on the points table. India is currently leading the points table with a total win of 7 matches with a mere defeat in 1 match.
Kohli’s team has the best batting in World Cup with Rohit Sharma the highest run scorer this World Cup Season. With Rishab Pant, M.S.Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, K.L Rahul Indian batting lineup order seems to be outstandingly in this World Cup. Bumrah will be leading the bowling attack with Mohammad Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Kuldeep Yadav.
New-Zealand made it for the Semi-Finals with their higher NRR as compared to Pakistan. With three defeats in a row for New-Zealand to come into the semi-final, the pressure on the team will be comparatively higher than Indian squad.
Undoubtedly New Zealand has a strong batting order on their side with Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, and Tom Latham who are the key performers for every match. New-Zealand bowling lineup includes the best bowlers like James Neesham, Trent Boult, Matt Henry and Mitchell Santner with Tim Southee in their Squad.
As far as the surface is concerned, the pitch at Manchester is good for batting and the large boundaries should help the spinners bowl with freedom as well.
