All you need to know about 2023 World Cup semifinalists
India will play fourth-placed semifinalists New Zealand in the first 2023 World Cup semifinal at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Meanwhile, South Africa will face Australia in the second semifinal at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
The Men in Blue finished the league stage unbeaten with nine consecutive wins. The BlackCaps finished in fourth place with 10 points in nine matches. South Africa and Australia finished with identical 14 points. The Proteas finished second due to a better net run rate (NRR).
The above four teams also automatically qualified for the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan alongside Afghanistan and England. That’s because the top seven teams in the points table booked their automatic berth for the ICC tournament.
The 2023 World Cup winners will receive USD 4 million, while the runners-up will walk away with USD 2 million. The losing semi-finalists will also win USD 0.8 million apiece.
