Chasing a mammoth 398-run target at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, New Zealand fought hard but fell short by 70 runs, losing the first semi-final of the ongoing ICC marquee event. Notably, New Zealand had knocked out India in the 2019 World Cup by beating them in the semi-final by 18 wickets.

New Zealand were reduced to 39/2 after Mohammed Shami removed Devon Conway (13) and in-form Rachin Ravindra (13). But a 181-run partnership between Kane Williamson (69) and Daryl Mitchell (134) gave India a major scare.

However, Shami returned for another spell in the 33rd over and picked two wickets to bring India back in the match. He dismissed Williamson and Tom Lath (0) in the span of three deliveries.

Daryl Mitchell fought cramps and continued with his brave knock, and got good support from Glenn Phillips (41 off 33). The two Kiwis partnered for 75 runs off 61 balls. But once Jasprit Bumrah removed the latter in the43rd over, New Zealand's hopes got heavily dented. Mark Chapman's departure in the 44th over by Kuldeep Yadav reduced New Zealand to 298/6.

Shami completed his five-wicket haul by getting the wicket of Daryl Mitchell in the 46th over. The 33-year-old pacer picked two more wickets to finish with figures of 7/57 in 9.5 overs and help the hosts bundle out Blackcaps for 327 in 48.5.

Earlier in the day, opting to bat first India finished their innings at 397/4 in 50 overs. Virat Kohli smashed his record-breaking 50th ODI hundred and scored 117 off 113 balls. Shreyas Iyer hit his second consecutive hundred of the World Cup 2023. He brought up his hundred off just 67 balls and scored a total of 105 runs off 70 balls.

Shubman Gill scored 80 unbeaten runs off 66 balls. He looked well set for his maiden World Cup hundred but had to leave the field after scoring his first 79 runs due to cramp issues. He returned to bat only in the 50th over. Captain Rohit Sharma gave India an electric start by scoring 47 off 29 balls.

India will face the winner of the second semi-final between Australia and South Africa in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, November 19.
