ODI World Cup 2023: Weather update from Mumbai ahead of India vs New Zealand clash

Team India and New Zealand are set to face off in the rematch of their last campaign semifinal matchup in the first semi-final of the ODI World Cup 2023, slated to take place on November 15 at the iconic Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai. However, the upcoming match is a new opportunity for the hosts to forget the painful memories of the 2019 ODI World Cup, where Virat Kohli-led Team India was annihilated by the Black Caps in the Manchester semifinal.

Notably, both sides last met on October 22, where Rohit Sharma-led Team India destroyed them by four wickets and secured the great win, and they will be looking to continue the same momentum against the Kiwis in their next clash to qualify for the finals.

Meanwhile, Men in Blue is the only team that is unbeaten in the league stage and went on to destroy the rest of the nine teams in the league stage. However, Kane Williamson-led New Zealand has five wins and four losses in the show-piece event. They had a struggle in between to qualify for the playoffs, but they were successfully able to put themselves at number four in the points table.

Weather report of the ODI World Cup 2023 semi-final clash of India vs. New Zealand

Talking about the weather reports, according to Met Departments, there are no chances of rainfall in the event, and the sun will be bright and clear during the whole day. However, despite that, conditions are not favourable owing to air pollution in the city, which makes the situation unhealthy for the players and fans in the clash.

Moreover, there is a reserve day as well in the tournament, so if the rain plays spoilsports, then the game will shift to the next day. However, if the rains continue, then Rohit Sharma-led Team India will be qualified for the showdown as they are at the top of the points table in the league stage, and they will get the advantage of the high rankings in the table.
