India vs New Zealand World Cup 2023 Semi-Final: Playing 11, Where to Watch, Live Streaming, Broadcast Details & Weather Report

India vs New Zealand, World Cup 2023 Match 46: When the ICC ODI World Cup commenced, many cricket experts predicted India and New Zealand to meet in the finals. 

The two teams had been performing brilliantly in the ODI games preceding the tournament and began their World Cup campaign with 4 straight wins each until clashing in the league stage.

India ended New Zealand’s dream run with a dominant 4-wicket win and nearly derailed the Black Caps’ entire momentum as they went on to lose their next four games.

However, New Zealand managed to secure a spot in the playoffs and will face India in the first semi-final on November 15 at the famed Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

This is the stage where New Zealand knocked India out in the 2019 World Cup. But this time, India will have the home-ground advantage and a team of players at their peak.

While India is known to succumb to pressure in the knockout stage, it’s New Zealand which has been struggling under pressure in the World Cup so far. It remains to be seen which team’s World Cup campaign ends at Wankhede.

Hopefully, no bad weather, injuries or other adverse conditions plague the game, and fans get to witness another exhilarating match between the Men in Blue and the Black Caps.

Take a look at all the important details regarding the India vs New Zealand World Cup 2023 match. Check here for the IND vs NZ match time, playing 11, when and where to watch, streaming apps, TV channel numbers, stadium, and weather forecast.

• India and New Zealand have played 10 games in the World Cup, with NZ winning 5 of those and IND winning 4.

India will be playing at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, home to several Indian players like Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav. Virat Kohli also has scored the second-most ODI runs at the venue.
• The Wankhede pitch is expected to favour fast bowlers, but spinners will be key for both teams as well.
• The showdown between Virat Kohli vs Tim Southee and Rohit Sharma vs Trent Boult is sure to be epic.
• The swing attack of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj will also be critical for India.

How will the weather be in Mumbai? What are the chances of Rain?

The weather in Mumbai is expected to be warm and sunny. The weather conditions in Mumbai are often volatile but November 15 will be bright and humid.

The possibility of rain is negligible but ICC has allocated reserve days if weather conditions wash off the match.

The temperature in Mumbai on November 15 will be around 25 degrees Celsius at its lowest and 34 degrees Celsius at its highest.

Bowling under lights at Wankhede is a winning strategy as the pitch generates extra bounce and swing, especially with the new ball. So expect both teams to choose to bat first. However, 60% of games at Wankhede have been won while chasing.
