Former India opener Aakash Chopra says the Indian team’s bowling does not look as threatening as other bowling attacks in the tournament, giving them an advantage against the New Zealand team in the first semi-final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. I believe it will.
Winning all the first nine matches of the World Cup, Team India has established itself as a formidable force in the tournament. As the tournament draws to a close, fans can expect a spectacle that rivals the largely one-sided matches that have come before.
Aakash Chopra shares his views on his YouTube channel and says India’s win over New Zealand in the league match of the tournament gives them confidence heading into the final four matches He said it happened. Chopra feels the Kiwis’ bowling attack has fallen short of his expectations in this tournament and expects a good match from both teams.
“The lineup for the semi-finals is ready. India are playing New Zealand, and New Zealand were a bit of a bogeyman for us. They worry us a lot, but fortunately We broke this curse. This New Zealand doesn’t look like the same team that gave us trouble earlier, as the bowling looked weak. In general, such bowling doesn’t exist. I don’t. They bowl better than that,” Aakash Chopra said.
“Trent Boult took a wicket in the last match, but he hadn’t been that great in the whole tournament before that, even though they were up against Tim Southee. Not the same bowler. Lockie Ferguson is very decent, but Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra or Darryl Mitchell
“I’m sure they know how to harass others, but can they do it?” I don’t know. It’s going to be a good match. It will be played at Wankhede, they may like the conditions but India are a phenomenal team,” Aakash Chopra added.
New Zealand managed to secure fourth place and a place in the final semi-finals, but it was not entirely secure. The team got off to a strong start in the tournament, but lost four straight and nearly lost their chances of making it to the semifinals.
However, he came back even stronger and secured fourth place. India will aim to repeat their previous league win againstNew Zealand in the knockout stage as they aim to qualify for the finals.
