‘Three chokers and one trained winner’ – Fans react to four teams qualifying for semifinal of ODI World Cup 2023

Published on

The teams for the semifinal of the ODI World Cup 2023 have been confirmed. Four teams have qualified further for the knockout stage of the tournament in India. The hosts India, the 2015 champions Australia, the 2015 and 2019 finalists New Zealand, and South Africa have qualified for the semifinal stage of the tournament. The loss of Pakistan against England confirmed the fourth semifinalist of the tournament.

New Zealand qualified for the semifinal as the fourth team. As Pakistan failed to win the match against England, let alone improving their net run rate, New Zealand entered the semifinal of the ODI World Cup 2023. As Pakistan was knocked out, New Zealand will take on India in the first semifinal in Mumbai’s Wankhede stadium. The match will be played on the 15th of November.

On the other hand, Australia will face South Africa on the 16th of November in Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. The two teams will be playing their first ever encounter in the knockout of the ODI World Cup since 2007. In the two knockout matches between the two teams, Australia has a win to their name. The other one ended in a tie in 1999, which is regarded as one of the best ODI matches ever.

Rematch of 2019 semifinal between India and New Zealand

India and New Zealand took on each other in the semifinal of the 2019 ODI World Cup in Manchester. In the match, New Zealand knocked India out of the tournament. Despite topping the group in the edition, India lost to New Zealand. This time around, India will be taking on New Zealand in Mumbai. The match is expected to be a thrilling contest between the two teams.

India will be hoping to take a revenge against New Zealand for their loss in the semifinal of the 2019 ODI World Cup. Several players that played in the match will be playing in the match in Wankhede stadium. The likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Trent Boult, Kane Williamson, Tom Latham, James Neesham, Tim Southee, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, and Ravindra Jadeja played in the match.
