Astrologer predicts winner of India vs New Zealand ODI World Cup 2023 semi-final! Find out
Hosts India are all set to take on New Zealand in the first semi-final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai will witness a repeat of the previous edition encounter on Wednesday, November 15, where the Black Caps inflicted a heartbreaking defeat on the Men in Blue. However, Kane Williamson and Co. won’t find it easy this time around as India comes in as a confident unit with a 9-match unbeaten run.
Rohit Sharma and his team were the first to qualify for the knockouts as they finished at the top of the points table with 18 points. On the other hand, New Zealand secured the last spot after registering a convincing victory over Sri Lanka in their final group match. Meanwhile, astrologer Sumit Bajaj has made his predictions for the high-octane clash, including the winner, which team will bat first and which players will perform well.
In an exclusive interview with Zee News, Astrologer Bajaj said that his prediction that India will play the semi-finals in Mumbai has come true. His latest prediction is that the 2011 world champions will break the deadlock this time and play the final in Ahmedabad. He added that Rohit will opt to bowl first in the first semi if he wins the toss.
“As per my earlier predictions, I had said that Team India will play semis in Mumbai and finals in Ahmedabad. With this, I would say Team India’s stars are favourable and they will win the semis,” astrologer Sumit Bajaj said.
“India is most likely to bowl first and then chase. By 47-48th over they may reach the target set by New Zealand. NZ may set a target of 250-270,” he added.
Who will be the top performers?
According to Mr Bajaj, skipper Rohit, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill are likely to play key roles in the upcoming match. Notably, Kohli is currently the leading run-scorer of the tournament with nearly 600 runs. Rohit, on the other hand, is in the fourth position with more than 500 runs. He backed Suryakumar Yadav, while Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja are the players to watch out for.
“Virat Kohli, Subhman Gill and Rohit Sharma will prove to play important roles in this match. Captain’s horoscope is very important. In this case, Rohit Sharma will play an important role in team’s performance and help lift the cup in the finals. He is 37 years old, 36.5 years to be precise and this time and phase is very favourable for Rohit Sharma to take team India forward. Virat Kohli is in his peak right now,” Bajaj predicted.
“Another player, Surya Kumar Yadav’s performance will be good in the knock out matches and will perform good in this match too. Some other players in the Indian team to look out for are Shreyas Iyer, Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja,” he added.
Bajaj drops New Zealand’s young sensation from Top Performers list
The astrologer feels Rachin Ravindra will not perform in the knockout match. Currently ranked third among run-scorers, Ravindra is considered the find of the tournament. All-rounder Mitchell Santner and opener Devon Conway are the players to watch out for in the New Zealand side, according to Bajaj.
“As far as New Zealand team is concerned, some players to watch out for are Mitchell Santner, Devon Conway. Rachin may not perform well and will lose his wicket in early phase,” Bajaj said.
“This game may not be completely effortless for Team India, NZ will bring some challenges for team India too,” he added.

Ravi Ashwin has unveiled Travis Head’s strategic approach to countering Jasprit Bumrah and India’s bowling attack. During a recent discussion, Ashwin analyzed Head’s clever ploys on the field, which played a pivotal role in his performance.
According to Ravi Ashwin, Head adjusted his batting stance to disrupt Bumrah’s bowling rhythm. This minor but effective tweak allowed Head to execute his shots more confidently. Ashwin emphasized that such tactical adjustments reflect Head’s understanding of the game.
