IND vs NZ semi-final preview: Kohli & co eye ticket to Lord's at Manchester

New Zealand's 'achilles heel' has been their batting while India have an untested middle order. The Manchester forecast predicts light showers with skies likely to remain cloudy throughout the day

A formidable Indian top-order, led by tournament top-scorer Rohit Sharma, will be taking fresh guard in its quest for two good days but a plucky New Zealand seam attack will be ready and waiting to knock at the corridor of uncertainty in the ICC World Cup 2019 semi-final at the Old Trafford, Manchester on Tuesday.

It has been a campaign in which Virat Kohli's men have been successfully able to hide their chinks even without a suitable 'Plan B' but it now boils down to having two days and they don't have an option of letting the script go awry.
