As we are coming to final phase of ICC Under 19 World Cup we are getting more suprise than we thought.As the cup started few had thought that New Zealand will be in semis as they were thrown out in last World cup. No one thought of such suprise as we are getting. This really makes us believe that they are fully determined and are aiming for cup for sure.

ICC U-19 World Cup: 1st Semi final India Vs New Zealand Full Highlights

New Zealand next challenge is the toughest from them in this cup as they are against India which is in terrific touch just now. Indian team batting and bowling both is just goinghand to hand and are thrashing all their opponents apart. There are circumstantial factors that could pose a few hurdles for New Zealand , It will be there first time playing in Kuala Lumpur and they didnt got time to used to it and only Tim Southee, who had only played under lights before this.

India on other hand had "home advantage" as they played all their matches here only and are used to it . And also all the players had played under lights too. Tanmay Srivastava, the No 3 batsman, says he's played day-night matches during the Challenger Series, domestic Twenty20 games, Ranji Trophy one-dayers and on an Under-19 tour to England in 2006. 

Dipak Patel the coach of New Zealand knows about this situation everywell. He said "I suppose India have a huge advantage over most teams," Patel said. "I'm not sure not how it [the schedule] was worked out but it's almost like a home advantage. I wasn't aware of it until a couple of days ago but we're going into the game with an open mind."

New Zealand is now much improved side from last World Cup in 2006 where they were elimnated from first round itself and Patel is now much proud of his team and said that his team is ten times better than last world cup they were.New Zealand bowlers are in great touch and might make tough for Indian Batsmen. New Zealand rely more on their bowling than batsmen.

So we will going to see Runner up of last world cup fighting against Undergo of this cup and this encounter will be electrifying under light.
