BENGALURU, Nov 14 (Reuters) - India are favourites heading into their World Cup semi-final against New Zealand but the hosts will be nervous about facing a side who are at their most dangerous when they have nothing to lose, former Black Caps skipper Ross Taylor said.
"This time around, India are even bigger favourites, at home and having played so well during the group stage.
If there is a team that India will be nervous facing, it will be this New Zealand side."
"When India are batting, you want to get them two or three down in the first 10 overs to put them under pressure.
You want to score runs but it's also vital we keep wickets in hand against weapons like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami."
