Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand have also booked their spots in the semis, setting the stage for thrilling clashes. However, the unpredictable weather has fans speculating about its potential impact on the highly anticipated India vs New Zealand encounter.

1. In the event of rain, the team higher on the points table (in this case, India) would advance to the final. The ICC, prepared for such scenarios, has scheduled reserve days for the semis and finals.
2. Even if rain persists on the reserve day, the team leading the points table secures the final berth, ensuring an exciting culmination to the World Cup.

India’s impeccable performance in the league stage, winning all nine matches, adds to the anticipation. In their head-to-head ODI record, India has a slight edge over New Zealand. With rain adding an element of uncertainty, cricket enthusiasts await a nail-biting showdown as the journey to the ICC World Cup 2023 title unfolds.
