Current equations are pointing towards a World Cup semi-final between India and New Zealand in Mumbai and fast bowler Trent Boult on Thursday expressed hope that Rohit Sharma’s team’s aggressive attitude can give his team a chance to beat the hosts. New Zealand’s five-wicket win against Sri Lanka in their last league stage match has put them in a very favorable position to enter the last four rounds. After playing all their matches in the league stage, New Zealand have 10 points and a net run rate plus of 0.743.

Boult said in the press conference after the match, ‘They (India) are playing positive cricket and I think playing shots gives chances. But we will be very clear about how we will tackle that game.
Bolt was clearly excited at the prospect of facing India on home soil in the semi-finals. It will be similar to the 2019 semi-final between the two teams in Manchester where New Zealand won by 18 runs. The fast bowler said, ‘I think it will be very exciting and as I said it can’t be bigger than facing India in front of one and a half billion people. Yes, it will be very exciting.

“Coming up against the host nation, a team that is in good spirits, playing good cricket – you can’t script better than that,” Boult said.
New Zealand have faced India once in the league stage. Chasing a target of 274 runs, India won by four wickets in Dharamsala. Boult does not live in the past but said the experience of playing against India will come in handy if the two teams meet in the semi-finals.
