Persistent rain deferred the ongoing semi-final clash of the ICC World Cup 2019 between India and New Zealand.
With Wednesday being a reserve day, the match would start from where it ended today.
Batting first, New Zealand so far have managed to score 211/5 in 46.1, with fans witnessing some great bowling from India.
Here is the report from Tuesday.

Winning the toss, Kane Williamson decided to bat first on a seemingly dry surface.
However, the decision backfired as they were off to an extremely slow start.
Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled their hearts out in the first power-play.
However, it was once again the pair of Williamson (67) and Ross Taylor (67*), who helped Kiwis to post 211/5, before rain halted play.

First thing, they'll try to get a result today. Just like any normal rain interruption - shorten overs, DLS, etc.
They'll go for the reserve day only if the result is not produced today, after all the methods, like a normal day. -

In case there is rain interruption on Wednesday, the Duckworth-Lewis equation would come into picture, until the 20-over limit.
In case we don't get a game of at least 20-over a side, it would lead to the match being called off.
Meanwhile, India would qualify to the final on the basis of finishing above New Zealand in the opening round.
