NEW DELHI: India's unwavering performance in the league stage saw them win nine games in a row, but their past performance is merely a shiny antique in a showcase, and on Wednesday in Mumbai, the hosts will take on New Zealand in the first World Cup semifinal, they will need to be at their very best.
There's a chance that the hosts' irritation stems from the sadness that occurred in Manchester in 2019. If further proof is needed of the Kiwis' superiority against India in international competition, consider the how they handled the latter team in the 2021 ICC WTC Final.
