WATCH: Gateway of India’s light show for semifinalists of ODI World Cup 2023
Mumbai’s iconic monument Gateway of India recently showcased an iconic lightning show representing the semi-finalist of the ODI World Cup 2023. Notably, the host nation India became the first team to qualify for the ODI World Cup 2023 semifinals followed by South Africa and later Australia. The ODI World Cup 2023 was conducted across 10 vibrant cities in India and the fans offered an abundance of their support by being present in the stadiums.
However, even though it is almost confirmed that New Zealand will be the fourth team to qualify for the finals, Pakistan is still in the race towards the qualification. New Zealand almost qualified as the fourth contender for the semi-final games of the ODI World Cup 2023 after beating Sri Lanka. Pakistan has some unrealistic targets to fulfil to qualify for the ODI World Cup 2023 semifinals.
Even though the fourth semi-finalist has not been officially declared for the World Cup, Mumbai’s monument Gateway of India represented New Zealand as the fourth team which will be competing against India in the first semi-final match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on 15 November.
