After this the vision of the semi-finals will be completely clear. Remember that the biggest weakness of the Indian team in the knockout tournament is the defeat from the big teams. In this case, India’s record against New Zealand has been poor. At present, India needs to win the remaining two matches for the semi-finals in their own group.
