ICC World Cup 2019: India vs New Zealand: Semi-final: Play abandoned for the day, NZ to resume batting on reserve day

ICC World Cup 2019: India vs New Zealand: Semifinal: India, Kiwis eye final berth

ICC World Cup 2019: India vs New Zealand: Semifinal: Play called-off due to intermittent rain at Old Trafford

Manchester, July 9: Intermittent rain forced the match officials to suspend the semi-final between India and New Zealand of the ICC World Cup 2019 at Old Trafford on Tuesday (July 9). The play will be resume on reserve day i.e. Wednesday (July 10) at 3:00 PM (IST) with New Zealand set to start from 211/5 in 46.1 overs.

Earlier in the day, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson won a crucial toss in the high-stake encounter and elected to bat first on a fresh pitch. But Indian pacers prevented the Kiwi batsmen from cutting loose early on and never allowed them to score freely. Later, the spinners too kept it tight for New Zealand batsmen. However, the skies opened up in the 47th over and prevented the players from getting back on the field. Ross Taylor (67*) and Tom Latham (3*) will resume innings on Wednesday.

Virat Kohli and his band, who bowled brilliantly so far, would be looking to finish the remaining overs on a positive note and restrict New Zealand to a low total.

So, who will emerge winner from this crunch game? The MyKhel Live Score of India vs New Zealand semifinal.
