IND vs NZ live stream: how to watch Cricket World Cup 2023 semi-final online now, team news, India bowling

The unbeaten India team come up against a New Zealand side looking to upset the apple cart in front of 30,000 zealous home supporters in Mumbai. It's the first 2023 Cricket World Cup semi-final and you can live stream India vs New Zealand around the globe on Wednesday, November 15.

Thanks in large part to Virat Kohli's record-breaking 50th ODI century, India have forged an intimidating target of 397 for New Zealand to chase. Openers Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra will need to get out of the blocks quickly if they stand any hope of chasing it down and denying the hosts their place in Sunday's final.

Below are all the details for the India vs New Zealand streaming services in the US, UK and for FREE in Australia on 9Now. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on — because you can watch IND vs NZ live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

So far, Rohit Sharma's awesome Men in Blue have very much stuck to the script. They've managed to win all nine group games, seemingly without needing to move out of first gear. Sharma and Virat Kohli have been scoring runs for fun (and even have a wicket each to their name!). And with the irresistible pace attack of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami firing on all cylinders, their world-class spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja have scarcely been needed to make a game changing impact.

Finishing fourth in the table, New Zealand's tournament has been way less consistent. After starting strongly, Kane Williamson's men have won only one of their last five games – really not the kind of form to be greeting this India XI in.

That said, Trent Boult has been getting better and better throughout the competition and has the tools to make thing seriously uncomfortable for Sharma, Kohli, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer and co. And, with 565 runs to his name, 23-year-old Ravindra has been the CWC's break-out star. With a father from Bengaluru, the stage is set for him to make a real name for himself today.

India won a tight encounter between these sides by 4 wickets earlier in the tournament, chasing down a 273 target with two overs to spare. But Blackcap memories will go back further to the 2019 semi-final when they shocked India and the cricket world to win by 18 runs. A victory today in India's backyard would be even more seismic...

The rampant hosts won the crucial toss and elected to bat first – it's no surprise to see that they've named an unchanged XI. New Zealand also retain the same line-up that ended their group stage campaign on a high with a dominant win over Sri Lanka.
