In the first semifinal of ICC Cricket World Cup (CWC) 2019, the notorious Manchester weather pushed the India vs New Zealand match to the reserve day (today) after dominant Indian bowlers excelled yet again to restrict New Zealand cricket team to a sub-par 211 for five at The Old Trafford on Tuesday. Rain forced players off the field after 46.1 overs and as per ICC's playing conditions, the game will resume on Wednesday from where it stopped. Despite half-centuries from skipper Kane Williamson (67 off 95 balls) and veteran Ross Taylor (67 not out off 85 balls), the Black Caps could not force the pace against tournament's best bowling attack. By the time when the covers were off at 10pm IST, the outfield had too much water and there was no way match could have started. However, the day belonged to the Indian bowlers as skipper Virat Kohli found out that it was a good toss to lose. After a brilliant start by Jasprit Bumrah (1/25 in 8 overs) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/30 in 8.1 overs), Ravindra Jadeja (1/38 off 10 overs) and Hardik Pandya (1/55 in 10 overs) did well in the middle overs to keep the opposition under check.

Ind vs NZ semis: Match to resume today

India vs New Zealand first semifinal match will restart at 3 pm IST from the point where it was halted on Tuesday. However, bad weather is likely to affect the match today as well.

If the Kiwi innings does not resume, India will have to bat for at least 20 overs for a conclusive result to be declared. In that case, the winning target will be 148. 

The other scenarios are:

If the number of overs for India to bat in reduced to 25, the target will be 172 runs. If New Zealand, which played for 46.1 overs yesterday, doesn't bat any more, India will have to chase 236 runs in 46 overs. 

Overs  Target
25 172
30 192
35 209
40 223
46 237
If the match is washed out...
