ODI World Cup: New Zealand opener Devon Conway believes hosts India are carrying a lot of momentum and possess a strong squad ahead of the upcoming semi-final meeting between the two teams in the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday.

"We all know how good India are. They're carrying a lot of momentum, they have a strong squad. But we're looking forward to that challenge. It's exciting for us to play against the host nation in the semi-final. We know they're going to be a threat, but we're looking forward to that challenge,"said Conway in a chat with New Zealand Cricket (NZC).

New Zealand have been a consistent side in terms of entering World Cup knockouts. They were semi-finalists in the 2011 World Cup, before being runners-up in 2015 and 2019 editions. Their big challenge in the semi-final, in what is a re-match of the 2019 World Cuplast-four meeting, will be against an unbeaten Indian team.
