IND vs NZ, ICC World Cup 2019, Semi-Final 1: India shall be locking horns with New Zealand in the first semifinal of the ICC World Cup 2019 at the Old Trafford Ground in Manchester. The Indian team comes into the semifinals on the back of a stellar run of form in the round robin stage, which saw them winning seven out their nine matches and ending up on the top on the points table. While the Indian seam attack spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami has been in red hot form, the New Zealand pace battery of Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry have been equally potent producing some devastating spells with the new ball to run through the defences of the best batting lineups on show at the World Cup. It promises to play out as the battle of the potent pace attacks when 'Men in Blue' clash against the Black Caps in the first knockout match of the 2019 Cricket World Cup at Manchester.
