Team India is all set to battle it out against New Zealand in the first semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 at the Old Trafford, Manchester on Tuesday. While the former have been defeated only once in the tournament so far resulting in them being considered favourites, the Kiwis cannot be taken lightly.

The two outfits last faced each other in a World Cup clash back in 2003. Weather is expected to play spoilsport yet again with a reserve day for the two semi-finals as well as final in place.

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson has been in good form for his side in the tournament so far, with game-changing knocks. Virat Kohli, on the other hand, has failed to build on starts and convert them into big knocks at the same level as expected. He will be looking to make his presence felt in this vital clash.

There will also be another exciting contest on show between Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult who are considered two of the best bowlers in International cricket. The toss is also expected to play a vital role with batting first after winning the toss almost a no-brainer at the Old Trafford.

Lineups:

India (Playing XI): Lokesh Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli(c), Rishabh Pant, MS Dhoni(w), Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah.

New Zealand (Playing XI): Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson(c), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham(w), James Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Trent Boult.
