The Semi-Final 1 of the World Cup 2019 will feature India facing New Zealand at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester on July 9. Keep reading to find out the ICC World Cup 2019 Semi-Final 1 India vs New Zealand Match Prediction.

India won the last league game against Sri Lanka in a thumping manner. On the same day, Australia’s loss to South Africa meant that the Men in Blue sealed the top spot on the points table. It’s fitting that Virat Kohli and his men ended right up there as they have been the most consistent side. They just lost one game against England and there too, they were not outplayed by the hosts.

The big semifinal is there and Manchester braces itself for the occasion. India has played two matches there already. They beat Pakistan and West Indies quite comprehensively at the venue. It has proved to be a high scoring ground. New Zealand also has played one game there against South Africa which they managed to win.

However, the form of Black Caps slumped in the latter half. After remaining unbeaten for a large part, they ended up losing the last 3 games. As a result, they slipped from the No.1 position to No.4. By virtue of a better net run rate, they managed to eclipse Pakistan who had the same number of points. New Zealand had struggled against India earlier this year when they lost the ODI series 4-1 in their own backyard. However, the Kiwis had beaten India in the warm-up match prior to the tournament. But that counts for nothing as it’s a fresh day and the pressure is at its peak. Let’s find out who will win 1st semi-final of world cup 2019 between India vs New Zealand today match prediction.
