The Manchester pitch has been good for batting throughout the hundred overs and produced some exciting games in the group stage. The Indian top order boasting of the World No 1 and 2 batsmen in the form of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will enjoy batting here. Opener Rohit Sharma has already registered five centuries in the campaign so far which is a world record. Team selection will be a headache for India with several players pushing for a spot in the playing eleven. Ravindra Jadeja was brilliant in the last game while Dinesh Karthik adds stability in the back end. Against the Kiwi pace attack, it is imperative India look to be positive right from the onset.

New Zealand started off well but have lost three games on the trot which is not an ideal way to move into the semis. Batting has been their weakness with the top order failing time and again. The dependence on Kane Williamson to bail the team out of trouble time and again does not augur well for them. The form of Martin Guptill will be crucial with the opener due to a big score in England. Their bowling attack is world class though with Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson in sublime form.

New Zealand will have to believe they can beat India despite the latter in menacing form. They will have to play their best game of the tournament through to achieve it.
