“Everyone wants a piece of the host nation”: Trent Boult on facing India in potential semi-final of World Cup 2023.

The ODI World Cup 2023 is approaching its decisive phase, with only a few group-stage matches remaining. The current standings reveal India leading the table, closely followed by South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand in the top four positions.

New Zealand faced adversity with four consecutive defeats, but a recent triumph against Sri Lanka has significantly bolstered their chances of securing a spot in the semi-finals. Notably, if they secure fourth place, they will face off against the formidable Indian team in the semi-final.

Discussing the potential encounter, star pacer Trent Boult expressed his thoughts on the prospect of facing India. Boult acknowledged the desire of every team to compete against the hosts and commended India for their exceptional cricket performance throughout the tournament.

Trent Boult in post match presentation said “Yeah. Everyone wants a piece of the host nation. They are playing good cricket, and it will be an interesting battle.”
