The first semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2023 is about to start. India is the favourite to win the match. All of their departments are performing exceptionally well. On the other hand, New Zealand had a very good start to the World Cup. They lost momentum in the middle. It will not be a high-scoring game as some are predicting because this is a pressure game, and the team who wins the toss should bat first because batting second on this pitch is tricky and difficult.
Can New Zealand repeat the 2019 match or will India come out victorious; it is about to be decided in a few hours.

The first semi-final between New Zealand and India will be held today. Today's match is going to be a high voltage match. Today's match is very important for both teams. Both the teams will want to play their best to secure the final. If we talk about the 2019 World Cup. Then we will see that India was the opponent of New Zealand in the semi-final. New Zealand reached the final after defeating India in the semi-final. 2023 World Cup in the same series, New Zealand vs India in the semi-final. Now it is to be seen who will win this match today. New Zealand is the only team to have played in 5 consecutive World Cup semi-finals, including two World Cup finals. Now it remains to be seen how much New Zealand can prove themselves on today's field in the 2023 World Cup in the fight to reach the finals. If New Zealand wins today's match and goes to the final. I personally would definitely want New Zealand to win today's match. May the New Zealand team be the 2023 World Cup champion.
Mumbai is one of India's best performing studios in the country. The toss is very important for both, perhaps the captains of both teams expect to win the toss and field first after winning the toss. Virat Kohli can give a match winning performance for India in today's match, so New Zealand must plan for Virat Kohli. Rachin Ravindra could be New Zealand's bet horse as New Zealand is banking on this young cricketer. If Rachin Ravindra gets good runs then New Zealand's middle order batsmen can do very well. As per India's current performance, there is nothing holding India back, but since the opponent is New Zealand and since this is a semi-final match, the result can go in either team's favour.
In just a couple of hours, the first knockout match of the World Cup 2023 will be played against India and New Zealand. I just checked the betting odds, India is the favorite to win. I just want the match to be even and not dominated by one team as seen in the last 9 games India has dominated all of them. New Zealand is a good team and has some of the best bowlers and batter therefore the completion should be even. If the Kiwis bat first then Rachin Ravindran is the player Indian bowlers would be after.

I'd correct it to before the England won the toss. Had Pakistan won the toss, we might have seen glorious innings from Fakhar Zaman again, because they'd surely tried to give 400+ target then.
Today Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai is going to face India vs New Zealand first semi-final. At this ground, the defending champions have won all but one of the matches played in the tournament. The average run in the first innings on the ground in this tournament is 357. A batting wicket at Wankhede has helped the bowlers bowl their second innings here in this tournament. In that case, today's toss is very important and any team can decide on batting. As always, this match is likely to see India's and New Zealand's Scots remain unchanged. The batting line of both teams is very strong. In particular, India's batting lineup is currently showing the best performance. As this is a semi-final match any team has a chance of making it to the final.
I'd correct it to before the England won the toss. Had Pakistan won the toss, we might have seen glorious innings from Fakhar Zaman again, because they'd surely tried to give 400+ target then.
In order for Pakistan to qualify for the semi-finals, there were multiple requisites. First of all, they needed a huge score on board. In case they somehow made a total of around 400, that alone would not have guaranteed their entry the semi-finals. In order to qualify, they needed a win margin of 287 runs. That means that in case Pakistan made 400 batting first, they had to get England out for a total 113, in order to get their net run rate above that of New Zealand. Anyway, in the end none of this happened.
Tomorrow is the biggest match for the host nation India vs New Zealand. This is an exciting match because this is the first semi-final, all players and people had just one thing on his/her minds which was that in 2019 the semi-final was India vs New Zealand and this is the second time India and New Zealand met in the semi-final after 2019, and India also have first position in previous point table and the same thing was held this time but the difference is just one which is in 2019 India lost one match but this India won them all matches, I think that the biggest reason of this thing is that India team play in their home ground, which gave comfortably and advantage to play.
So it is, it could be said to be a revenge game for India, even if Indian team don't look at it like that, fans certainly will.
Before the England match, Pakistani team knew ,they are out of the World cup , so they don't gave their 110 percent.

Today is the second most important day for the cricket fans. The two biggest and UN beatable teams almost will face each other and don't know who will win this match. Both the team will drop their best players to the ground and utilize their full energy to win this match. And yeah it's a moment for the team to qualify for the semi-final because they played and did hard work to win matches and reach here if they lose here then all of their efforts will be useless and no one will want this. One will lose and one will win today's match but the curiosity here is who will win. I think the Indians will win because they are playing on home ground and also there are huge crowds that will support them and put some pressure on the New Zealand team. Best wishes for both teams.
Unbeatable? Well India is unbeatable with 9 wins from 9 matches. But New Zealand actually struggled to qualify for the semi-finals after losing crucial matches. They only won 5 out of a total of 9 matches. And before winning their last group stage match against Sri Lanka, New Zealand actually lost 4 matches consecutively (including those against South Africa and Pakistan). India will be the overwhelming favorites for today's match and New Zealand can hope for a miracle only if they win the toss and everything else goes in their favor.

It is not possible to predict who will win today's match.But the two teams participating today will show their best performance in this match as the team who wins today will go to the finals.India will have a slight advantage in this match as it is being played on their home soil.Today we are going to enjoy an interesting match but I will put India ahead in this match.
@cryptowool India definitely have the advantage and the momentum with them plus the entire stadium will be cheering for them which will be an added support so I feel that team India has an excellent opportunity to make it to the finals. However New Zealand has stunned team India in the past and no one can afford to underestimate them hence I don’t think it’s a wise idea to wager on any team right from the start.

I think India is in red hot form and number one at the moment by winning its nine world cup game with 18 points, and same for Australia. Australia seem to be back on track after losing first two world cup matches and looks undefeatable right now. I also think most probably it will final between India vs Australia in this world cup. But it would be absolutely amazing to see South Africa vs New Zealand in the finals for the first time in world cup history if both team successfully wins in semi-finals of world cup No doubt, Pakistan played not well in last match against England but in my opinion if Pakistan team won against South Africa then
momentum could shift towards Pakistani team .Before the England match, Pakistani team knew ,they are out of the World cup , so they don't gave their 110 percent.If Pakistan won against South Africa, Pakistan could qualify for Semi final. But in my opinion, Pakistani team is not deserving team to play Semi final. Tomorrow match is very interesting,India is favorite but New Zealand has also weapons to lose India.

Pakistan started relatively well in the tournament, but they were unable to win against the pig-4 sides. They won against New Zealand, but that was mostly due to luck. New Zealand scored 401 and even then they lost because of DLS. Without this win, Pakistan would have been in a pathetic position in the points table (by the time they won, Pakistan had a win probability of 12% or so in that match). As I mentioned previously, the players were not focusing on the game. Rather than doing that they were mostly focusing on various controversies.

India lost in the semi-final against New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup. So they will try to reach the final by defeating New Zealand on the 15th. Every player in India is in form Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli Sammang Gill all of them are batting well. Great things to say Md Siraj Sami Jadeja Bhomra among them strong bowling. So it is expected that the Indian team will try to reach the final by playing the best against New Zealand in the semi-final. But it feels very bad for New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, they have played the final in 2019 World Cup consecutively but could not win the cup. Kane Williamson this may be his last World Cup, so those who are fans of Williamson will definitely want this World Cup to be in his hands. Now let's see who makes it to the final after all the speculation ends on the 15th.
New Zealand is still struggling to perform under Indian conditions. They are still overdependent on their pacers (especially Trent Boult) as their spinners (apart from Mitchell Santner) are not taking wickets. Surprisingly they are doing quite well in the batting department despite the absence of Kane Williamson. Rachin Ravindra have been the find of the tournament for them and he is being ably supported by Daryl Mitchell and Devon Conway. But till, this won't be able to get past the Indians, who are simply looking invincible as of now.
Trent boult? He's been average so far, yes he got two 3s but other than 1-2s and in two games 0. In spin department, they only have Santner as main line spinners, others are all rounders, he's been most consistent bowler in their team, his spells only didn't work in their match against Pakistan.
They only do well in battling dept when Ravindra or Mitchell make centuries at least
Conway made century in first game, other than nothing much for him.

If umpire gave out last batsman against South Africa match , Pakistan could qualify for final. That was empire decision and that was Pakistani bad luck.
I am surprised that you are still complaining about the Umpire Decision on that Pakistan-South Africa match but do not take into account their poor performance in the overall World Cup.
For a moment, let's suppose that Pakistan would have won the match if that decision had been in their favor but they still needed to win against England in order to qualify. You can see how poorly they have played in that match. England won that match by 93 runs which shows that it was a one sided match.
So can you explain how Pakistan could have reached the semi finals if they were beaten by England

After losing four matches in a row, New Zealand qualified for the semi-finals with a win against Sri Lanka. It cannot be said that the team is in a very good rhythm.
India will undoubtedly be favourites, considering the performance aspect. The team performed well against all the teams. However, the India vs New Zealand match was India's most competitive match in this World Cup. Also in every match we saw only Indian players dominating. Because of this the New Zealand players can have some confidence. If New Zealand's bowlers can do well against India, they have some chance of winning. If the bowlers of New Zealand do not do well, we will only see the dominance of India in this match.
India vs New Zealand will be the greatest, high profile match, which India will not want to lose at any cost. It is a match where both teams had unbelievable players and both teams had an unstoppable team with massive players. Indian bowling vs New Zealand batting. If Kane Willamsons settles against Indian bowlers on Wankhede pitch so he can hit many boundaries, he is a fear for Indian bowlers. That is also a batting pitch, it provides an advantage to both teams and on the other side, this thing also is a danger for bowlers, and both teams have bowlers who can take the wicket of other team batsmen in few balls.
Toss may play an important role in this match and i think the team winning the toss should bat first, put the runs on the board and hope to get other team in pressure of chasing in a big match.
Almost every pitch in this World Cup was batting-friendly. But the Wankhede Stadium pitch also helps the bowlers a lot. But as the batsmen of both the teams are in very good rhythm, this match is likely to see a high score.
On this pitch at Wankhede Stadium, it is very difficult to win by batting at a big target in the second innings. So the outcome of the match will largely depend on the toss. The Australian team won by chasing maximum runs on this pitch. Australia won by a target of 292 runs given by Afghanistan. Australia won because of Maxwell's unbeaten innings of 201 runs. Otherwise, they would have been defeated by Afghanistan. India will be favourites in this match. But if New Zealand can bat first, they are likely to control the match.
