India favourites as NZ bid for WC semifinal upset

India, whose group match against 2015 runners-up New Zealand was washed out, have suffered just one defeat at this World Cup so far, against England, and ended on top, making them strong favourites to beat the Black Caps. The match will be played on a new pitch which is good news for the batsmen. The match at Old Trafford is scheduled to start around 3 pm IST.
