India and New Zealand will face each other in the first semi-final in Manchester on Tuesday, 9 July. However, the threat of rain looms large. India and New Zealand qualified for the knockouts, being on the opposite ends of the points table. While India topped the points table, New Zealand finished fourth.
AccuWeather also gives a forecast of rain between 6-7 pm IST, which might affect the game. Post that period however, rain is expected to stay away but dark clouds are expected to restrict sunshine during the game.
Interestingly, the league game between both the teams was also washed out at Trent Bridge. So if the game is played, it will be the first meeting between the two teams in this World Cup.
