New Zealand is suffering in Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester at the first semi-final before the match washed out due to heavy rain. Indian bowlers are ruling over the Black Caps batsmen as they only managed to score 211 for 5 after 46.1 overs. Things aren’t looking good for the Black Caps as it seems they will find it difficult even to score 250 as Indian seamer Jasprit Bumrah still have two overs on his armory.
