The semifinalists for the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 are confirmed as India, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. India topped Group 1 and will face New Zealand in Semi-Final 1 at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on November 15th. South Africa finished second and play third-placed Australia at Eden Gardens on November 16th. This repeats the 2015 World Cup's semi-final lineup. Pakistan crashed out after losing to England, whose decision to bat first dashed Pakistan's slim hopes of improving their NRR to qualify. Chasing 338 in 6.4 overs was near-impossible, and losing early wickets sealed Pakistan's fate. The victors of the semis will contest the final, with India and New Zealand battling first for a spot.
