It is pertinent to mention that Trent Boult had relished the prospect of him playing against India in the semifinal.
“I can’t speak on what they’re thinking but from our point of view to play World Cup in India and to come up against the host nation a team that’s red hot playing good cricket at a great ground – you couldn’t script it any better,” he had said as quoted by the International Cricket Council. “So excited if that happens, I feel like we’ve done all we can from our point of view and yeah, we’ll just wait and see what happens.”
He said the hosts are playing a positive style of cricket but his side will head into the match with a clear strategy.
