The Indian cricket team was dealt a massive blow during the Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinal against New Zealand as opener Shubman Gill was retired hurt after scoring a brilliant half-century at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday. Gill looked in tremendous form as he scored 79 off 65 deliveries before he started suffering from cramps. It was a hot and sultry day in Mumbai and during the 23rd over of the Indian innings, Gill started experiencing cramps and had to lie down in the middle of the over. The Indian cricket team physio was out in the middle and after couple of minutes, Gill decided to leave the field. However, he was not dismissed and can come back to bat after a stipulated time period. Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat against New Zealand.
Manchester United are set to be without Christian Eriksen until the middle of December after he was ruled out for a month with a knee injury.
Afghanistan crashed out of the Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals race after slumping to a five-wicket loss against South Africa on Friday. Afghanistan needed a massive win to stay in the race but the loss means that Pakistan and New Zealand are the two left with a chance of reaching the semifinals. New Zealand have the advantage with 10 points from 9 matches and the Kiwis have the best Net Run Rate (NRR) in comparison to Pakistan and Afghanistan. With 8 points from 8 matches, Pakistan need to win their last league match by 287 runs if they bat first. If they chase, Pakistan will have to win with at least 284 balls -- more than 47 overs -- to spare.
Pakistan on Thursday found themselves staring at an improbable situation for a semifinal spot in the Cricket World Cup 2023, after New Zealand's five-wicket win over Sri Lanka with 26.4 overs to spare. Barring massive wins for Pakistan and Afghanistan against England and South Africa respectively, nothing can stop the Kiwis from locking the fourth and last semifinal berth. India, South Africa and Australia have already sealed their spots in the final four and New Zealand now have one foot into the knockout stage after their robust victory over Sri Lanka.
Following Australia's sensational victory on Tuesday night that sealed their last-four clash against South Africa, it will largely be a three-way battle among New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan to identify hot-favourite India's semifinal rival. New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan are on eight points each and are separated only by Net Run-Rate. The Kiwis, who face the struggling Sri Lanka in their last group match at Bengaluru on Thursday boast the highest NRR of 0.398 among the three teams.
New Zealand eye a place in the semifinals of the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023 as they take on Sri Lanka in a crunch fixture at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The Blackcaps started the tournament with four wins on the trot, but a run of four straight defeats have put them in a precarious position in the points table. New Zealand are currently fourth in the points table, with Pakistan and Afghanistan breathing down their necks, hoping to seal the final semi-final spot. A big win for New Zealand against Sri Lanka, however, might just be enough for them, considering their superior net run-rate.
