ICC World Cup 2023: New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka by 5 wickets on Thursday to almost secure a berth in the first semi-finals against India at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on 15th November. The Kiwis virtually knocked out Pakistan from the top 4 race as the Babar Azam side needs some implausible victory against England to find a place in the semi-finals. As the semi-finals between India and New Zealand become imminent, users on social media shared some hilarious memes about the World Cup 2019 clash between the two teams.
The heartbeat of Indian fans increased as the encounter reminded us of that 2019 heartbreak as Martin Guptill executed that perfect throw to run out MS Dhoni- the last hope of the Indian team. New Zealand won that match by 18 runs and faced England in that thriller World Cup finals.
