In a much-anticipated clash, India and New Zealand are set to battle it out in the semi-final of the 2023 Cricket World Cup on November 15 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

As the cricketing world eagerly awaits this encounter, let’s delve into the history of their rivalry across various formats, highlighting key moments from ODI World Cups, ICC Champions Trophy, T20 World Cups, and the ICC World Test Championship.

Rohit Sharma’s India will be keen to keep their perfect record intact, having won nine of their nine matches so far in the ongoing show-piece tournament, while Kane Williamson’s New Zealand will look to repeat the 2019 semi-final result.

When both teams met in the league phase, India ended New Zealand’s unbeaten streak at four. A defeat that also started a losing run that put the Blackcaps' semi-final qualification hopes in doubt. However, the Kiwis ended the four-match win-less run to seal their spot in the last four.

The Men in Blue head into the match fresh from breaking their record of most wins in a single World Cup after their 160-run victory over Netherlands extended their streak to nine, surpassing the previous best of 8 in the 2003 World Cup.

New Zealand, on the other hand, registered a 5-wicket win over Sri Lanka in their most recent outing at the World Cup 2023 with the victory also sealing their semi-final meeting against India.
