India and New Zealand would step on to the Old Trafford pitch on the reserve day of their semi-final encounter of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. As has been the pattern throughout the 12th edition of CWC held in England, rain has spoiled much of the action and fanfare. India dominated the 46.1 overs of play possible on Tuesday with the Kiwis reeling at 211/5. Their bowlers looked like giving nothing away while the fielding was top notch too. With the overcast condition expected to dominate the Manchester weather on the reserve day too, New Zealand could well be knocked out of the tournament without a proper fight.

If the remainder of the play is possible without any interruption, India will be looking to restrict the Kiwis to the minimum total possible. With Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the death overs, it will difficult for New Zealand to come slogging at them right from the onset. In batting, the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are key. The beauty of low run chases is that they a perfect opening stand makes it look trivial. This is where K L Rahul and Rohit Sharma assume significance as they have both been providing strong starts to the team.

New Zealand are banking on the moisture in the wicket to assist their pace attack led by Trent Boult. Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson too will fancy bowling in these conditions and it is imperative for them to strike early. The bowlers will need Ross Taylor to help the team go past 240, which despite being slightly below par, can still be competitive in a high-pressure game. The pitch will only get slower as the innings progresses putting a lid on the scoring rate. For New Zealand, the key is to bowl with discipline and take early wickets to expose India’s middle order.
