It was a very unfortunate day for the fans in the stadium who came to watch a fantastic semi-final match between India and New Zealand but went back disappointed as the match got postponed to the next day because of the rain. Twitterati were absolutely furious after match got postponed!

Brief scores: New Zealand 211/5 in 46.1 overs (Ross Taylor 67*, Kane Williamson 67; Ravindra Jadeja1/34, Jasprit Bumrah 1/25) vs India

Coming to think of it...

So rain drenches #OldTrafford! British rain is like the #Brexit process: it just goes on & on, & every time you think the sun might just break through, the mess starts all over again. How on earth did the English invent a game that requires eight hours of sunshine a day?

Thankfully it got postponed otherwise this scenario would've been frustrating!

Dude this is frustrating af. Just call off the day! A 25 or 20 over game ain't good. Let them play 50 overs and we will bat then. Faltu kich kich..

Harsha Bhogle's take on this!

It's funny isn't it. You plan for years, play 9 tough games and then your hopes of a World Cup win and the resultant career high rest on an hour and a half of T20 equivalent cricket.

So play is officially called off for the day. Resumes tomorrow at the same score. I don't think India will mind that.

The most irritating part of the live coverage!

Okay, we are done for today.

It's raining again.

Dear @StarSportsIndia , please show us live pictures. We do not want to see highlight again and again. #INDvsNZ
