It's down to the last semifinals matchup of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2012 edition on Wednesday. Tonight's game will be available for fans featuring India vs. New Zealand live streaming online via the ESPN broadband sports network. The winner advances to the finals later this week.
The India vs. New Zealand live stream begins tonight at 7:15PM EST via the WatchESPN or ESPN3 online service. It's free of charge to most United States fans, whose cable or satellite TV companies make the online service available as a courtesy to their customers. That allows for watching multiple sports that ESPN streams, including cricket, an event which doesn't get a whole lot of televised coverage. Fans of both teams residing in the United Sates, or those that don't normally get to watch the sport, but enjoy it, can make sure they don't miss this one.
Tonight's matchup will pit India against New Zealand, with the winner looking to advance to the finals on 8/25 against South Africa. According to TVNZ One News, New Zealand is looking to build upon their major victory over West Indies which came during the thrilling final play. They won the game by just six wickets, and it's translated into confidence as the team moves on. Now they look towards a potential finals showdown with South Africa.
New Zealand captain Will Young said:
"The victory over the West Indies has given the team a lot of belief ahead of the semifinal. The whole group is excited by what lies in front of us.
India is a strong side and it will be a tough match, but at the same time, we feel confident that if we play to our potential, we can beat them."
That certainly helps set the tone for this game for New Zealand, as they will want to remain confident that they can make the finals. NZ will be without one of their top batsmen in Henry Walsh, but Ben Hyde will serve as his replacement. Often times, these replacement players in any sport, step up and help out with the team. New Zealand will hope that's the case and they don't sorely miss the services of Walsh.
By the way, India also had a close call win to get here, so expect both teams to be hungry for the win tonight. It all goes down at Tony Ireland Stadium later on this evening. The India vs. New Zealand semifinals battle hits live stream online feed beginning at 7:15PM EST. Which team do you think will advance in the 2012 ICC U19 Cricket World Cup?
