Left-arm quick Boult returned figures of 3-37 to play a pivotal role in his team's five-wicket win over Sri Lanka that has virtually assured them a place in the last-four.
BENGALURU - New Zealand 's Trent Boult said Thursday "it doesn't get any bigger than taking on India in front of 1.5 billion people" as he counted down to their likely World Cup semi-final showdown in Mumbai .
The Kiwis would face undefeated India in Mumbai next Wednesday with South Africa playing Australia in Kolkata 24 hours later. New Zealand, who have been runners-up in the previous two World Cups, have an edge over India in tournament match-ups with a 5-4 advantage."I can't speak on what they're thinking but from our point of view to play a World Cup in India and to come up against the host nation, a team that's red hot and playing good cricket at a great ground, you couldn't script it any better," added 34-year-old Boult.
