Ajit Pawar No More: Maharashtra Loses a Key Political Leader in Plane Accident

 

Kiwis versus Indians World Cup Semi-Final Live Score: India advanced to the ICC men's ODI World Cup final, where they will either play South Africa or Australia, with yet another impressive display as they thrashed New Zealand by 70 runs. The first-batting side amassed an enormous 397/4 in 50 overs, and in 48.5 overs, they bowled New Zealand out for 327.

Incredibly, batting great Virat Kohli hit his 50th ODI century, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in the list of hitters with the most tons in ODI cricket. With a brilliant 105 off of just 70 balls, Shreyas Iyer provided a great counterpoint to Kohli's performance. Earlier, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma gave India a flying start after they won the toss and opted to bat. 

After putting on 71 runs in 8.2 overs, Rohit was dismissed for 47 off 29 balls by Tim Southee. Gill too had some style, but cramping ended his innings early, forcing him to limp off at 79. In the last over, he batted and added one run to his total.

With the ball, Mohammed Shami once again displayed mastery, taking seven of the ten wickets. With his first ball of the mtach, the pacer took the lead and in his very next over, he removed Rachin Ravindra. After the Kiwi innings was restored, Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell put up a third-wicket stand of more than 150 runs. After both batsmen reached their half-centuries, Williamson was removed by Shami at number 52.

But as the match went on, the bowler earned his redemption and dealt India a double blow. He trapped Tom Latham LBW for 0(2) after first removing Williamson for 69(73). After that, Mitchell—who has already hit a century—held steady with Glenn Phillips, adding more than fifty runs for the fifth wicket. In the 43rd over, Bumrah dismissed Phillips for 41(33), and in the following over, Mark Chapman was removed by Kuldeep Yadav.

Then, in the 46th over, Shami utterly dashed New Zealand's aspirations when he dismissed Daryl Mitchell for 134 (119) before taking two more wickets. 

With their tenth straight victory, India advances to the 2023 World Cup final! Seven wickets were taken by Super Shami, and 724 runs were scored. That's a really amazing effort. The bowler from India who came in for the first change hit off the first ball he faced and then added another in the next over. Superb seam bowling in the dark, he quickly removed both of the New Zealand openers who were taken off guard. India was a little careless; they missed a couple field goals, spilled extras, KL shattered the stumps before he could get the ball, and Shami also dropped a clear cut opportunity. In this competition, India faced pressure for the first time, but Shami made a magnificent comeback. In the same over, he removed KW and trapped Latham leg before wicket, providing the crucial breakthrough. With Mitchell and Phillips developing a half-ton partnership, New Zealand became a serious contender. In four outstanding overs, Kuldeep and Bumrah took two wickets for just twenty runs. Shami then returned to deliver the final punch. Mitchell, the centurion, was dismissed, and he finished with a seven-fer by picking wickets for amusement.

Ferguson to Shami, get out Grabbed by Rahul! Shami takes seven wickets! Ferguson swings leg-side to swing across the line at 136.3 kph on a fullish ball. Outside edge, which Rahul grabbed. As India triumphs by 70 runs, the keeper tosses the ball into the air! In the finals, India plays. They have succeeded four times in the past. 

The player of the match is Mohammed Shami: I was awaiting my moment. Not that I was playing a lot of white ball cricket. We frequently discuss topics like yorkers and slower balls, so that's what I had in mind. With the new ball, I attempted to take wickets. Using the new ball, I attempt to capture as many as I can. I failed to catch Kane. I felt awful. I attempted to slow down. They were trying to make their moves. So I ventured a guess. The ball was well-hit. The fear of dew was present. The grass was neatly clipped off. The runs were sufficient. Things might have gone south if dew had gotten in. Perhaps the slower balls were ineffective. I feel fantastic. This is extremely huge platform. 

In both the 2015 and 2019 WC semifinals, we were defeated. wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to make money. We have no idea when we will all have another opportunity like this. 

Kane Williamson: First off, praises to India. They have consistently played excellent cricket. Today was their greatest game yet. They are a great team and have excellent cricket. Bravo to the boys. Glad the boys continued to fight. Going out in the knockout stages is disappointing. There was an attempt. India is a really good team. The elite batters simply came out and played exquisite batting. 400 was reached. was challenging because the ball was bouncing. Give India credit; they exceeded us. 

Thank you for being there and giving us an opportunity. Incredible group of people. somewhat biased. I'm happy to be hosted by India and feel special being here. We're all really committed to playing the cricket we wanted to play as a squad. Mitchell and Rachin were exceptional. They had a great performance. Occasionally, bowlers would contribute. Great fight. incredibly pleased. Moving forward as a team is ultimately what matters.  

Rohit Sharma: You can't unwind, I've played a lot of cricket here. You have to complete the task as soon as feasible. We were aware that we would face pressure. Despite our slight negligence on the field, we maintained our composure. These things will inevitably occur; I'm delighted we were able to finish the task. It is necessary to take risks when the scoring rate is higher than 9. Mitchell and Williamson batted quite well, but we missed the opportunities they offered us. Calm down, we had to. That's just how the game works: the crowd became silent. We were aware that we needed to take a sleeve out. We made every effort, and Shami was exceptional. The top five-six batters have performed well. Really happy with Iyer's performance in this competition. Gill, while his attacking play was excellent, he was forced to come back. As usual, Kohli was outstanding, reached his milestone, and delivered his signature innings. Overall, the batting was excellent. We wish to follow that framework going forward. We only had 230 on the board in the England game. Our bowlers picked wickets with their upfront bowling style. I wouldn't say there wasn't any pressure today. It was being done by guys. As we had done in the first nine games, that was our goal. Everything seemed pretty well. 

Will India play in a knockout match the same kind of cricket as they did in the league stages? 

Rohit chose to bat and responded to the question in style, launching his team into the game. Once the captain was replaced, Gill took over. After Gill departed the game due to a retired injury, Kohli and Shreyas Iyer attacked the bowlers from New Zealand. By surpassing his cricketing hero Sachin Tendulkar and scoring his 50th ODI century, Kohli created history. Shreyas, on the other hand, amused himself by striking sixes, recording consecutive tons. With his bat, Rahul contributed to bringing India's total close to 400. That should be plenty most days, but the hosts had a difficult time of it. After the first powerplay, India's bowlers were not at their best, even if dew wasn't an issue tonight. At the Wankhede, New Zealand required 199 runs in the final 20 overs, which is a rather manageable calculation. But India made a stylish return. The Black Caps were unable to respond to Shami because they maintained their composure and applied pressure. 

Speaking with the host broadcaster is Shreyas Iyer Rohit provides us with the foundation and the starting point, so all we have to do is build upon it. He is a captain without fear. His body language makes that apparent, and it kind of spreads to the other players. (Regarding the management's support) Coming from the coach and captain is crucial. The World Cup didn't start off well for me. They urged me not to worry about the commotion from outside; you simply have to go out there and express yourself because we've got your back. (Regarding handling pressure): You should know that you tend to become anxious under pressure, but you also enjoy performing in front of a large audience, and if you do well, they encourage you. (How demanding are the net sessions considering the caliber of the bowling attack?) It is unquestionably demanding. We make sure to play the hardest bowler possible. I always take on Bumrah when he brings the fresh ball because you can expect a tough game and it prepares you for it.

After burying the ghosts of Manchester, India will relocate to Manchester, India. I will now end this exciting semi-final by drawing the curtains. Watch the second Super League match between South Africa and Australia tomorrow. That sounds like a recipe for another thriller, assuming the weather doesn't get in the way. From Abhinand Raghavendran, Venky, Pradeep Krishnamurthy, Kumar Abhisekh Das, and Ramakrishnan MS, good bye until then!
