“As New Zealand prepare to take on India in the semi-finals, it is impossible not to look back at the parallels with 2019,” Taylor, who was part of that semi-final told ICC. “Four years ago, India went into the semi-final as the form side in the tournament, while we were more focused on ensuring our net run-rate would keep Pakistan out of reach for the final spot in the top four.

“This time around, India are even bigger favourites, at home and having played so well during the group stage.
