India win the toss and opt to bat!!!

Stay tuned for the toss...It will take place in a couple of minutes!!!

If you look at the spinners' length, it's bare, the spinners will come into play on this surface. As the game progresses, if there's dew, it'll play nicely. When you look at the center of the surface, there's a little bit of grass. There'll be carry for the fast bowlers from a back of a length. You want to bat first in the semi-final. When it comes to second innings, you just have to negotiate the first 20 overs. If that dew becomes a factor, it becomes a lot easier to bat on. You'll always get movement with the humidity around.

Yeah, yeah, an interesting journey for sure, from sort of it not being a chance to getting close and it becoming a reality and something to target, and certainly feeling really grateful to be here. And then to get back and then break my thumb [laughs]. It's not funny. No, it was quite frustrating and testing but still feeling that it hadn't ruled me out so I still was grateful for that and it's nice to be fitter than perhaps I was yesterday and be sitting here. So personally, it's great to be here and it's nice to be a part of this tournament. These tournaments are special and world events in India certainly add to that.

I think we'll be inauthentic if we say that it's just another game. Yes, of course it's a semi-final but I think our processes and what we've done in the lead-up to each and every game is not going to change. We do recognise that it is an important game, it is a knockout game, we have to accept the fact that there is going to be a certain amount of pressure but I think the way we have responded to the pressure so far gives us a lot of belief and a lot of confidence

We are half an hour away from the toss at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. The experts at the venue are already having some good discussion on the game and the fans are filling up the Wankhede.

The team has not seen a single change from the last 5 games and as they look a settled unit, there shall be no change to the team.

Mitchell Santner has performed exceptionally wel every time against India. He has troubled the much-famed Indian batteras all the time. He has dismissed Rohit twice and Kohli thrice in ODIs already. Can he make an impact again?

Wankhede has been extremely friendly to the pacer under lights with new ball this World Cup.

Pacers have picked 17 wickets in the second innings of day-night encounters in this World Cup so far at the venue!!

Extremely hot and humid with temperatures in mid-30s and there is NO RAIN in the forecast!!

While all eyes are on Trent Boult, Tim Southee provides the biggest threat to India.

He has dismissed Rohit Sharma 11 times and Virat Kohli 10 times in international cricket.

Beware India!!!

Hello and Welcome to the much-awaited first semifinal between India and New Zealand at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. India have lost three knockout matches in ICC events to New Zealand. Will they break the hoodoo this time? Or will the Kiwis manage to make it to their third consecutive World Cup final? I, Aditya Kukalyekar, will take you through all the hustle and bustle of the semifinal!!
