One of the oldest grounds in England will host the first semi-final of World Cup 2019 between India and New Zealand. The Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester hosted its first Test match in 1884 and it's first One-Day International in 1972 which was incidentally also the second ever ODI match.
Overall, Manchester has hosted 51 ODIs with England’s 397 for 6 against Afghanistan, recorded in the 2019 World Cup, the highest team total at the venue.
India and New Zealand will take on each other in the first semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2019 at Old Trafford in Manchester on Tuesday. While Virat Kohli's side has been dominant in league stage, the Kiwis have suffered setbacks and made the knockouts only by superior net run-rate.
It is unlikely though that India will make any changes to their batting order.
If New Zealand could choose only one tag to pin themselves going into their most important game of the last four years, it would probably be underdogs, whose bite has so often proved much more dangerous than their bark.
The Black Caps, beaten finalists four years ago, head into the India clash on the back of three straight group stage defeats by Pakistan, Australia and England.
The auras might be different, but there's little to separate the two when it comes to batting, especially in this World Cup. Kohli won the battle in 2008 and has since gone on to become 'King'. Eleven years on, can Williamson pull one back and get to the crown?
