India's World Cup Semi Finals Face-Off With New Zealand Rakes Up Memories, Nervous Indian Fans Cope With Memes
The World Cup 2023 semi-final match between India and New Zealand brings back bad memories from the 2019 WC for Indian fans. Fans are indulging in hilarious memes before the match to cope with the stress.
The 2023 ICC World Cup has been a joyous tournament for Indian cricket fans. However, India¡¯s face-off against New Zealand for the semi-finals has brought up memories of a fearsome past between the two teams. Now, fans are coping with memes.
What Are The Fans Afraid of?

The biggest fear Indian fans are battling during the semi-final face-off with New Zealand is the chance that history will inevitably repeat itself.
Back in 2019 during the ICC World Cup that was played out in Manchester¡¯s Old Trafford Stadium, India faced a harrowing loss against New Zealand and was dropped out of the World Cup race. The interesting part of the coincidence is that in 2019 too India was in first place on the points table and New Zealand had landed in the fourth position.
The uncanny similarities between this year¡¯s setup with that of the 2019 match have been keeping fans on their toes. The fear and anxiety have been hitting the cricket fanatics ever since it was confirmed that India will be facing New Zealand in the semi-finals.
However, India¡¯s stellar performance throughout the tournament has instilled much confidence in the fans as well.
