Rohit and Co. aim to keep winning momentum going:

India will take on New Zealand in the first semi-final of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at skipper Rohit Sharma’s home ground – the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Men in Blue are the only side in the tournament that have remained unbeaten so far with victory in all their 9 matches.

This Rohit Sharma-led side has been the standout team of the tournament and looks balanced in all departments. The Indian pace attack of Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj has been the envy of all teams in the tournament, while the spinners – Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja – have been able to dismantle the opposition in the middle overs with a mix of defensive and attacking bowling.
