Cricket: New Zealand stun India by 18 runs to reach second World Cup final, Sport News & Top Stories - The Straits Times
MANCHESTER (AFP) - New Zealand reached their second World Cup final with a stunning 18-run win over shell-shocked India at Old Trafford on Wednesday (July 10).
It was a superb display by the underdog Black Caps, who came into the match on the back of three straight defeats by Pakistan, Australia and England and qualified for the semi-finals only on net run-rate, while India topped the 10-team group stage.
New Zealand will face the winners of Thursday’s second semi-final between Australia – the team that beat them in the 2015 final – and hosts England in Sunday’s title match at Lord’s.
