India are set to host New Zealand in the first semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup on Wednesday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Indian cricket team has emerged as the favorites in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, showcasing an impressive journey marked by growing stature and confidence. Their unbeaten run in the tournament, including comprehensive victories against all opponents, establishes them as a formidable force.
The upcoming clash against New Zealand is crucial, considering it's a do-or-die contest. Sharma, who has surpassed 500 runs in the tournament, has been instrumental in providing solid starts. His partnership with Shubman Gill is vital for India's success. Virat Kohli's phenomenal form in the middle order, coupled with partnerships with Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, adds strength to the batting lineup. Suryakumar Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, known for their finishing skills, further fortify the team's batting prowess.
