There is no debate on the matter of whether the team in blue is going to qualify for the semifinals. There are plenty of reasons, but the main reason is that the side will be playing in Indian conditions; they know the ground better than any other side in the tournament. But wherever the men in blue plays, they always come out as favorites.
The main thing is the adaptability of every player in the team because they have been playing cricket since their childhood in those conditions. The analytical reason also says that in the last three World Cups, the home team always qualified for the top four.
AUSTRALIA

Australia is the second team that is going to finish as the semifinalist of the ICC World Cup 2023. They have players who have plenty of experience playing in India, and they know the conditions much better than other side. Another reason is their record in the big tournaments; they know how to handle pressure in the big matches.
They have a lot of confidence as well because of the aggressive cricket they have been playing for the last few years, and they defeated the men in blue when they last visited India.
NEW ZEALAND

Before the start of any big tournaments, nobody expects much from them and doesn’t count them as favorites to win the tournament. Somehow this team always punches beyond their reach. In the last edition, they almost won the tournament, and they were the finalists in the 2015 edition of the mega event.
This time around, they have a balanced side and players who are familiar with the Indian conditions, so New Zealand is once again could be the semifinalist of the World Cup 2023.
ENGLAND

The England team will be defending their title in the 2023 World Cup. They have a good side, but the biggest challenge for the team will be adapting to the conditions, because in England’s squad, only a few players, like skipper Jos Buttler and Sam Curran, have tasted these spinning conditions. But they are world champions and have the ability to make the top four once again.
For the mega event, the English team calls back their ace player, Ben Stokes, who has the ability to win the match from nowhere. He will be playing a huge role for his team.
England is last but not least because there are other good teams like Pakistan and Afghanistan, but these teams are slightly doubtful because of their inconsistency
