ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023: India vs New Zealand 1st Semi-Final Highlights | Mohammed Shami takes a 7-wicket haul as India wins by 70 runs

This is Best Bowling Fig for India in the ODI History.

Rohit Sharma and company will now face the winners between Australia and South Africa on Sunday in the Grand Finale in Ahmedabad.

Shami got an outside edge from Southee and KL Rahul took a good, low catch. That was Shami's sixth wicket. He became the second Indian to take a six-wicket haul in ODI World Cups.

Then he became the first Indian to take a seven-wicket haul in ODI World Cups. He gets the wicket of Ferguson and India have won the match by 70 runs. India book their place in the Final of the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023.

Santner gets no luck as he hits the ball straight up and Rohit completes the catch. Siraj finally gets his first wicket of the match.

A fuller delivery on the leg side from Shami and Mitchell tries to lob it to the leg side but all he can do is find Jadeja in the deep. This is his third catch today but what a brilliant inning that was from Daryl Mitchell. He kept New Zealand's hope alive for the Final for a long time in the match. Mitchell scored 134 in 119 deliveries, hitting 9 fours and 7 sixes.

Mohammed Shami became the first bowler to pick three five-wicket hauls in one World Cup edition

Chapman tried to hit the second last delivery of Kuldeep Yadav's last over of spell but it went straight to Jadeja posted at deep square. A brilliant spell from Kuldeep Yadav.

Bumrah finally gets his first wicket of the match. A slower ball from Boom Boom and Phillips fails to time it. He edged it and the ball goes high. It is Jadeja who takes a comfortable catch. Then he teases the New Zealand camp, just Sir Jaddu things.

Siraj is not having a great day at the Wankhede. A huge 20-run over from him as New Zealand are hoping for a record run chase. Siraj has leaked 71 runs in his 8-over spell. Daryl Mitchell struck two sixes and a four in the over.

New Zealand need 132 runs in the last 60 deliveries to qualify for the Final. Mitchell is not out on 126 after facing 107 deliveries while Phillips is batting on 19 in 22 deliveries.

Mitchell has gone down with possible cramps. Physio is out there stretching. The umpires too have gathered around the scene.

One brings two. Shami bowls one into Latham's pads. Big shout and the finger goes up. No reviews from NZ as India are back in control of this game.

Mohammed Shami became the fastest bowler to 50 ODI World Cup wickets.

Shami bowls one into Williamson's pads. He tries to flick it over the fence but he can't put it past SKY at deep square leg. Kane Williamson is out for 69 and the huge 181-run partnership has been broken.

A brilliant inning under pressure for Mitchell. He gets to the mark in just 85 deliveries. This is Mitchell's second century against India in the World Cup.

India are unable to find any solutions as Williamson and Mitchell are comfortably cruising towards the target. Earlier, Shami dropped the catch of Williamson in the last delivery of 29th over. NZ are 199/2 after 30 overs.

Williamson punches one to long off to complete his fifty. It took him 58 balls to reach the landmark.

Mitchell picks a single on the first delivery of Jadeja's fifth over to bring up his half-century.

A 100-run partnership between Williamson and Mithell as NZ are 141/2 after 22 overs

Both batsmen are set and have added 85 runs for the third wicket. Indian bowlers were not so lucky as the Kiwis' batters survived so many times. Kane Williamson is batting on 32 in 41 deliveries while Mitchell is on 41 in 43 deliveries.

A Sharp turn in Kuldeep's delivery as Williamson got completely confused and trapped in front. India reviews the decision. Umpire's call on the stumps but India will keep the review.

Williamson survived again

India goes for a third umpire review for a run out but replays show it was Rahul's hand hitting the stumps. Williamson wanted a single but was denied by his partner. He was way too slow in getting back but survived somehow.

Williamson is batting on 25 after facing 32 deliveries while Mitchell is on 21 after facing 29 deliveries. NZ are 93/2 after 16 overs.

A faint edge from Rachin and a comfortable catch for Rahul. Shami with the second wicket in his second over and Ravindra walks off after scoring just 13 runs.

Shami strikes with the first ball. Conway on his way back. He goes for the drive, but the ball takes a thick edge and Rahul takes a brilliant catch.

Conway and Rachin Ravindra provide a good start to New Zealand. Bumrah hasn't been up to mark with his 3 overs until now despite Siraj's excellent two overs.

Virat Kohli goes past Sachin Tendulkar's record for Most ODI Centuries and becomes the first-ever player to score 50 ODI centuries! 👏

Suryakumar launches high in the air and Phillips takes the catch this time. His intention was clear but couldn't get the better of the slower one. SKY departs for 1 as Southee gets his third wicket.

Gill is back after retiring hurt and starts with a single at deep midwicket.

Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 80 while Rahul played an unbeaten cameo knock of 39. Earlier, Rohit Sharma provided India with a brilliant start, scoring 47 in just 29 deliveries. Then, Virat Kohli scored his 50th ODI Century and Shreyas Iyer scored a 67-ball Century which helped India reach a huge total of 397 runs.

Shreyas looks to club the slow and wide outside off stump delivery down the ground but it is caught at long-on. A brilliant inning comes to an end as Iyer walks off the field after playing a brilliant inning of 105 in just 70 deliveries filled with 4 fours and 8 sixes.

Shreyas Iyer drove to long-on for a single and consecutive hundred for Shreyas. This one coming off in just 67 deliveries.

Earlier in the over, Kohli stepped out and flicked to deep square leg and it was Phillips, of all people, who put the catch down. Then he struck a six but Southee finally got rid of Kohli as Conway took a brilliant catch. Kohli stepped out again and flicked the ball behind the square leg and this was taken safely by Conway.

Kl Rahul is the new Batsman.

Earlier, Virat Kohli bowed down to Sachin Tendulkar after crossing his mark for most ODI tons.

Shreyas Iyer is the new batsman.

Shubman Gill continuing his brilliant strike rate while Virat Kohli is taking time to accelerate but has been in good touch.

Ferguson's second over didn't go as he planned. Gill guided the short delivery square on the leg side for a four. Another short ball from Ferguson and Gill brings the pull shot again to hit a boundary. 

Tim Southee strikes for New Zealand. A sensational catch from Kane Williamson. It went high up in the air and the Kiwi skipper takes a good catch. Rohit Sharma's fiery knock comes to an end. He departs after scoring 47 off 29 balls.

Virat Kohli comes to the crease now.

Huge appeal for lbw. Kane Williamson had a chat with Latham and Southee before sending it upstairs. There was a knick and Kohli started with a boundary. New Zealand have lost the review. 

India are 58/0 after 6 overs. Rohit is batting on 45 after facing only 22 deliveries. He has already smashed 4 sixes and 4 fours. Shubman is rotating singles and accompanying Rohit so well until now.

Rohit Sharma started the arts Indian inning with two boundaries in the first over of Boult. Gill then joined the party by hitting two boundaries to Southee in the second over— a brilliant Start for India.

The Players have lined up for their respective National Anthems.

India lined up for the national anthem

"We would have batted first. Looks like a used pitch. We would want to do well with the ball and then hopefully, some dew later. Amazing occasion. Four years ago, similar situation but a different location. They have been playing some good cricket. Always a building phase between the tournaments. Need to assess what is in front of you when the tournament starts. We are going with the same team from the previous match."

• INDIA: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj

• NEW ZEALAND: Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson(c), Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Tom Latham(w), Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult

"We are gonna bat first. Looks like a good pitch. Whatever we do, we need to do well. I think it was back in 2019 when we played the semis. NZ is one of the most consistent sides. A very important day. Constantly, talking about how important it is to turn up on that day. Same team."

India Captain Rohit Sharma wins the toss and opts to bat first.
