India vs New Zealand: preview 

India play New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in the first of the cricket World Cup semifinals on Wednesday.

This is the ninth time in the 13 World Cups that New Zealand have reached the semifinal but only twice have the Black Caps made it through. India themselves have played in seven semis and won three of them.

When the sides met in the group stage on October 22, India won by four wickets with two overs to spare. It is the closest a side has pushed the Indians this tournament. Their next closest match is either the win by six wickets and 52 balls against Australia or by 100 runs over England.

England had been on top in that match and at halfway they had a 70% win probability after they had exploited India’s one obvious weakness – their long tail. Get through the upper order, and India’s totals can be restricted. But England have been the only side to do this, such has been the form of the top-order batsmen. Virat Kohli averages 99 this World Cup; Shreyas Iyer, 70; KL Rahul 69 and Rohit Sharma 55. Also, as England found, India have the most potent bowling attack in the tournament too.

Unbeaten India start clear favourites over New Zealand, who have lost four of their last five matches. Read on as we explain how to watch the 2023 Cricket World Cup and get an India vs New Zealand live stream online from wherever you are, including for FREE in some places.

How to watch India vs New Zealand live stream from outside your country

But there is a way to tune in regardless.

By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home.
