Travis Head adjudged POTM:

"Nice to be back. Nice to be contributing. Nice to get the win, got very close there, was a hell of a game. I had only had a couple of hits (since returning from injury). Obviously had a six-7 weeks off. I think so (asked if it is just about getting the confidence back on return). Few blokes found it tough out there, keep pushing with the bat. We (him and Warner) play together really well. We complement each other really well, make sure we stay connected with each other and stay with each other," Head said.

Winning skipper Pat Cummins said:

"It was awesome. They just kept coming at us and it was a fantastic game of cricket. Travis has been away for 5 weeks, first hit back in the game and the kind of intent they (openers) showed, they led from the front. It was a good wicket and at times we probably gave too much width and some really good partnerships there. Fielding made a big difference. We got about 5-6 day break now, so we will enjoy this moment and get stuck in at the back end (of the tournament)," Cummins said.

Losing skipper Tom Latham said:

"Fantastic game of cricket, ebbed and flowed throughout the 100 overs. To come so close obviously hurts, but a fantastic game. They put us on the back foot straightaway and at that point and it was about containing them and keep taking wickets. He (Phillips) bowled well under pressure, to come and bowl 10 overs and pick up 3 wickets it was really crucial. Great to see the work he is putting in and it is paying off. The openers got us off to a fantastic start and Rachin played a fantastic knock, one of the better ones you will see chasing. It was a great effort and proud of the guys. It (Dharamsala) is a fantastic place to play cricket. Just want to say all the best All Blacks (New Zealand rugby team) can't wait to watch the final and hopefully they bring the World Cup home," Latham said.

James Neesham's 2019 tweet resurfaces after New Zealand's heart-breaking defeat

After losing the finals of the 2019 ODI World Cup, James Neesham tweeted by asking the kids not to take up sports as it can prove to be very cruel at times. Against Australia in Dharamshala on October 28, the all-rounder gave his all and hit 58 runs off 39 deliveries but couldn't help his team get over the line. Hence, his old tweet is resurfacing on the internet yet again.

AUSTRALIA WIN BY FIVE RUNS!

What a match and what a win for Australia. Lockie Ferguson fails to hit the last ball as Australia win the match by five runs. One of the classics of the ODI World Cup!

JAMES NEESHAM GONE!

Massive wicket for Australia. James Neesham walks back after scoring 58 runs. His tremendous effort comes to an end as New Zealand need six runs in the final delivery to win. Heart-breaking stuff for the Kiwis!
