IND vs NZ, 1st semi-final head-to-head stats and records you need to know before India vs New Zealand 2023 World Cup match

Team India will take on New Zealand in the first semi-final of the 2023 World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, November 15. The knockout clash is being billed as a rematch of the 2019 semi-final between the same sides in Manchester. On that occasion, the Kiwis registered a famous 18-run win.

The Men in Blue have been completely dominant in the 2023 World Cup so far. They won all their nine matches in the league stage, most of them by comprehensive margins. If we look at their recent triumphs, they hammered Sri Lanka by 302 runs, South Africa by 243 runs and Netherlands by 160 runs. India will, however, have to start afresh in the semi-final against New Zealand.

Unlike the hosts, the Kiwis sneaked into the semis as the fourth team, just like they did in England four years back. New Zealand began the World Cup with four wins but then lost four in a row before beating Sri Lanka in their last league match. India might have beaten them in the league stage, but New Zealand will believe they have the edge over India in the knockout clash.
