Boult ready to face ‘India in front of 1.5bn people’

BENGALURU: New Zealand’s Trent Boult said on 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.

Left-arm quick Boult played a pivotal role in his team’s five-wicket win over Sri Lanka that has virtually assured them a place in the last-four. The Kiwis would face undefeated India in Mumbai next Wednesday with South Africa playing Australia in Kolkata 24 hours later.

“We’re going to be very clear with how we’re going to tackle that game,” said Boult. “I think there’ll be a lot of excitement and the prospect of that challenge. It doesn’t get any bigger than taking on India in front of 1.5 billion people.”
