All you need to know ahead of the clash:
The first semifinal is 9.30pm NZT Wednesday at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
Who can forget the two-day semifinal at Old Trafford four years ago? Rain disrupted play in the 47th over of New Zealand’s innings, sending the game into a second day. New Zealand finished on 239 for eight, with Ross Taylor top-scoring (74). Matt Henry and Trent Boult did early damage as India fell to 92 for six before Ravindra Jadeja (77) and M.S. Dhoni (50) put on 116 for the seventh wicket. But a brilliant run-out by Martin Guptill ended Dhoni’s World Cup career as New Zealand won by 18 runs.
Both teams have hosted each other in the last 12 months.
