Team India will make their fourth straight appearance in the ODI Cricket World Cup semi-final when they clash with New Zealand on Wednesday, November 15 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India. The match will start at 2:00 PM IST. Ahead of the knock-out match, we take a look at India's records in the semi-finals of the ODI Cricket World Cups. India's performances in the ODI World Cup semi-finals

India have qualified for the semi-finals in eight out of their 13 ODI World Cup appearances (1983, 1987, 1996, 2003, 2011, 2015, 2019, 2023). Out of the seven semi-finals played by India so far, the team emerged victorious in three instances and faced defeat in four semi-final encounters.

In the 1983 World Cup, India triumphed over England in the semi-finals, ultimately securing the trophy. In 1987, Kapil Dev-led India suffered a defeat to England at the Wankhede in the semi-finals. The teams met again in the 1992 World Cup semi-finals, where the side captained by Mohammed Azharuddin faced a narrow nine-run loss to England.

The 1996 semi-final took place at the iconic Eden Gardens, where India faced Sri Lanka. Unfortunately, the match was abandoned due to crowd trouble, resulting in India's loss. After missing out on the semi-finals in the 1999 World Cup, India reached the last four in 2003. The team, led by Sourav Ganguly, convincingly defeated Kenya to advance to the final.

In the 2011 World Cup, India clashed with arch-rivals Pakistan in the semi-finals, securing a 29-run victory under the leadership of MS Dhoni. Following this, India faced defeats in two subsequent World Cup semi-finals (2015, 2019) against Australia and New Zealand, respectively.
