India Will Be Nervous Facing New Zealand In Cricket World Cup 2023 Semifinal: Ross Taylor | Cricket News

[ad_1] India will be nervous facing New Zealand in the World Cup, reckons Ross Taylor, drawing parallels from the campaigns of both teams in the 2019 edition.

New Zealand, who started the tournament well, finished fourth in the league stage with five wins in nine games. "As New Zealand prepare to take on India in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 semi-finals, it is impossible not to look back at the parallels with 2019," Taylor, who was part of that semifinal in Manchester, told ICC."Four years ago, India went into the semi-final as the form side in the tournament, while we were more focus...

Legends League Cricket: Manipal Tigers Win But Fail To Make Playoffs | Cricket News

[ad_1] Ricardo Powell did almost everything but could not finish the game and that in the end unfortunately cost Manipal Tigers dear as they were knocked out of the ongoing Legends League Cricket (LLC) at the Barkatullah Khan Stadium on Saturday.
