Batting first, India scored 397, courtesy of centuries by Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer. Kohli broke Sachin's 49 ODI ton record while Shreyas scored his 3rd century of the tournament. Shubman also played well and scored a fifty while KL Rahul played a quick cameo towards the end to help India reach a big total.
Chasing the target, New Zealand had a poor start but then Daryl Mitchell and captain Kane Williamson stitched a brilliant hundred-plus runs partnership. However, Mohammad Shami bowled a brilliant over, taking two crucial wickets to bring India back in the match.
Mitchell fought hard but his efforts were not enough as India won by 70 runs to confirm their final ticket. Shami emerged as the best bowler of the match, taking seven wickets and becoming the bowler with the most wickets in the tournament with 23 to his name.
After the match, PM Modi also praised Shami's performance on social media, acknowledging his stellar bowling throughout the World Cup.
"Today’s Semi-Final has been even more special thanks to stellar individual performances too. The bowling by Mohammed Shami in this game and also through the World Cup will be cherished by cricket lovers for generations to come. Well played Shami!" PM Modi wrote on ‘X’.
