During the first semi-final of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between India and New Zealand at Old Trafford, New Zealand beat India by 18 runs to enter the World Cup final for the second time.
In a 240-run chase, India had almost lost sight of the chase when they lost vice-captain Rohit Sharma (1) and captain Virat Kohli (1) cheaply. With New Zealand bowlers continuing to make inroads into the Indian lineup, India were reduced to 92/6 in the 31st over.
It was a 116-run partnership for the seventh wicket between wicket-keeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja which saw India staging one of the most dramatic comebacks in the history of World Cups. However, it wasn’t enough as New Zealand dismissed both the cricketers at just the right time.
While Jadeja got out for an exceptional 77 (59) with the help of four fours and four sixes in the 48th over, Dhoni departed in the following over after scoring 50 (72) with the help of one four and one six. With bowling figures of 10-1-37-3, Matt Henry was the highest wicket-taker for New Zealand.
After New Zealand batsman Kane Williamson won the toss and chose to bat, New Zealand scored 239/8 in their allotted quota of 50 overs. Scoring his 50th ODI half-century, veteran batsman Ross Taylor top-scored for New Zealand scoring 74 (90) with the help of three fours and a six. With bowling figures of 10-1-43-1, India fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of their bowlers.

Finals time! Let’s go one better than 2015.— Grant Elliott (@grantelliottnz) July 10, 2019
Jadeja played the innings of his life , and what a day to do so. Dhoni and him got us in it from nowhere but alas wasn’t enough . Well fought India and congratulations to NZ on reaching the finals. #IndvNZ

Congratulations to @BLACKCAPS on making it to the finals. Jadeja played an outstanding innings and got India in the game along with MS Dhoni, yet it was a case of so near yet so far #IndvNZ

Martin Guptill makes up for all the runs not scored in the World Cup. Possibly the best run out I’ve ever seen, given the context. Dhoni goes for 50. In his final ODI innings? #CWC19 #INDvNZ

The great @msdhoni run out in his last innings.. lesson for life: sometimes the mind is willing not always the body! The better team on the day has won! #INDvNZ

Congratulations to Kane Williamson and the @BLACKCAPS for making it to a second successive World Cup Finals. Ravindra Jadeja along with Dhoni fought brilliantly and got India so close but NZ were brilliant with the new ball and that was decisive. #IndvNZ

Required run-rate climbed to 9-10 runs per over and Dhoni was leaving balls and putting pressure on Pandya and Jadeja. Dhoni ended up with 50 off 72 balls at a strike-rate of 69.44 with only 1 four and 1 six#CWC19 #INDvNZ

It’s called Karma! India helped Newzealand qualify for semis by intentionally losing to England just to throw Pakistan out of the WC. And the same Newzealand outclassed them. Dear #India hope you learn some sportsman spirit from this.😂🔥
