The 2019 World Cup semi-final clash is about to unfold as India are once again destined to face New Zealand in the ongoing tournament on Wednesday. India have asserted their dominance in the tournament by registering nine consecutive victories to top the table and clinch a semi-final spot. But one fact that has been constant in the past two editions of the World Cup has been that the Indian team went unbeaten in the semi-final and ended up losing on both occasions. Funnily, at the Wankhede, the toss has become a big factor because, under the lights in the first 10 overs, the ball is doing alarming things.
