IN PICS | Top 5 moments from India's semifinal victory over New Zealand
Mohammed Shami gets a seven-fer
Mohammed Shami was adjudged the Player of the Match for his sublime performance. At a time when New Zealand threatened to take the game away from India, Shami stepped up and reminded why he is the most lethal bowler in World Cup history,
Virat Kohli's record hundred
Virat Kohli scripted history at the Wankhede by hitting his 50th ODI century, eclipsing Sachin Tendulkar's record. Kohli's century meant that India capitalised on Rohit Sharma's super start and post a near 400-run total.
Glenn Mitchell's gutsy knock
Glenn Mitchell stood tall and waged a lone battle against India, giving the hosts jitters. At one point, Mitchell's counterattack nearly silenced the Wankhede. Up untill he was at the crease, India remained on their toes. A great innings in losing cause from the Kiwi.
Shreyas Iyer's pyrotechnics
While Kohli scripted history, Shreyas Iyer provided the impetus required at the back end of the innings. India needed to score briskly at the death, despite starting off well and Iyer showed why the team management persisted with him, even when he was slated by some.
A final after 12 years
India cemented a place in the final, scheduled to be played at the 1,30,00-seater Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday (Nov 15) by securing 10 consecutive wins. If India do manage to go on and win the trophy, they will be on par with the invincibles of 2003 and 2007 Australian team.
