The Black Caps are revelling in their underdog status ahead of tonight's cricket world cup semi final against tournament favourites India in Manchester.
New Zealand, the tournament runners-up in 2015, grabbed the last semi-final berth after a hat-trick of defeats nearly derailed their strong start in the tournament.
The irony is that the point the Black Caps earned when their pool game against India was washed out is what ultimately gained them a top four spot.
