New Zealand recorded a staggering 18-run triumph over India in a hair-raising match to meet all requirements for the last - second time in succession – in the principal semi-last of the ICC World Cup 2019 here at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
New Zealand, beaten in the 2015 last by Australia, were limited to only 239-8 in the wake of finishing their 50 overs per day later than anticipated after the suspension of play because of downpour on Tuesday.
In any case, Kane Williamson's side bowled radiantly to shake, with three top-request wickets from paceman Matthew Henry demonstrating the key commitment in expelling the pre-competition top picks for 221.
