India vs New Zealand, 2023 World Cup semi-final: Full list of award winners, player of the match, scorecard & records 

Team India got over the line in the first semi-final of the 2023 World Cup against New Zealand by 70 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, November 15.

Batting first, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill once again gave India a stupendous start. Rohit, in particular, went berserk and smashed 47 runs off only 29 balls. His selfless knock provided a brilliant platform, after which Gill and Virat Kohli moved the innings forward.

The two added 93 runs for the second wicket before Gill went off the field with an injury after making 79*. Shreyas Iyer joined Kohli and the duo did a phenomenal job in taking the Indian innings towards a mammoth total.

While Kohli continued with his art of rotating the strike, Iyer took charge of proceedings and attacked the Kiwi bowlers. Both of them went on to notch up their respective tons, with Kohli creating history by becoming the first-ever player to hit 50 ODI centuries.

Iyer made his hundred in just 67 balls, before getting dismissed for 105 off 70 balls. Kohli was also holed out for 117 off 113 balls. KL Rahul gave the final flourish by hitting 39* off 20 to propel India to 397/4 in 50 overs.

Chasing 398, New Zealand lost both openers inside the powerplay as Mohammed Shami sent back Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra. The Kiwis fought back valiantly, courtesy of an outstanding 181-run partnership between Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell.

The two batted quite brilliantly and kept New Zealand in the hunt for the majority of the chase. India, meanwhile, dropped their chances, including Shami's unfortunate drop at mid-on. However, the pacer made amends as he returned to send back Williamson for a 73-ball 69 before trapping Tom Latham in front for a duck in the same over.

Mitchell continued his hunt for runs and registered a superb century. The all-rounder made 134 off 119 balls but remained a lone warrior after Williamson's dismissal. Jasprit Bumrah (1/64) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/56) bowled brilliantly in the death overs and Shami wreaked havoc by taking a seven-wicket haul.

India closed out the innings by bundling out New Zealand for 327 and sealing their place in the finals.
