Fans will once again expect a great performance from Mohammed Shami.
India vs New Zealand Semi Final: Led by Rohit Sharma, when Team India take on New Zealand in the first semi-final of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at the Wankhede in Mumbai, the team will look to avenge their defeat against the Kiwi team in the previous knockout matches. The Indian team has lost the last four knockout matches against the Kiwi team. On the other hand, the New Zealand team has crashed out of the tournament after losing to the hosts in the last three editions of the ICC ODI World Cup. One of these records will surely be broken when the teams meet at the Wankhede on Wednesday. Indian fans will be hoping that a winning team India will beat New Zealand to enter the final and avenge the past defeat. However, this requires that the Indian bowlers, who have been performing brilliantly so far in the current tournament, once again show their mettle.
