The cricket fans are again ready to witness yet another big battle in the World of Cricket. The 1st Semi-Final Match of Cricket World Cup 2019 will be played on Tuesday, 9th of July 2019 at the Old Trafford, Manchester and will be live for viewers at 3 PM IST. This season has witnessed some of the major turnovers and tough competitions between the teams to make it to the finals.

After all these efforts and wrestle India and New-Zealand are the two teams which could make it to the Semi-Finals of World Cup 2019. The World is ready to witness the big battle for World Cup 2019. India will have a face on with New-Zealand in the first Semi-Final of World Cup Season.

India ended the group stage matches at top of the points table. Winning all the 7 matches out of the 9 series matches, India will be in a positive frame of mind when it plays against New Zealand. India’s top order seems to be in extra-ordinary form this World Cup season with Hitman Rohit Sharma who has a record-breaking five centuries in this edition of the World Cup, including three in a row.

With Captain Virat Kohli, Rishab Pant, MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul Indian batting lineup order seems to be outstandingly in this World Cup. The bowling lineup is quite interesting for Team India this season with Bumrah being the most economical bowler in this tournament. Bumrah will be leading the attack with Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Kuldeep Yadav. Let’s hope this season favours all the India fans with happiness and cheer.

New-Zealand, on the other hand, had been lucky this World Cup season as they qualified for the Semi-Finals of the World Cup 2019 with a higher run rate than Pakistan. New-Zealand played 9 matches where they had 5 wins and 3 defeats in their account. They lost their Final series stage match against England with a huge margin of 119 runs.

Interestingly, the only game that was washed out for both India and New Zealand was against each other.  They played against each other in a warm-up game before the actual World Cup, where India was defeated by New-Zealand. There is no doubt that NZ has a very strong batting order on their side. With Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, and Tom Latham who performed a key role in each and every match for their team.

Will India be able to continue their winning streak or will NZ be able to dislodge them from top post. Download Now & Get Rs 100 Joining Bonus AND 100% CashBack on First Deposit!
