Full Match Review
1. India’s Batting Masterclass
After winning the toss, Rohit Sharma (47 off 29) gave India a lightning start. However, the day belonged to Virat Kohli, who scripted history by scoring his 50th ODI century, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record in front of the legend himself.
- The Power of Iyer: Shreyas Iyer provided the “finishing touch” with a brutal 105 off 70 balls, featuring 8 massive sixes.
- Gill’s Resilience: Shubman Gill retired hurt due to cramps but returned later to finish on 80*, helping India post a mammoth 397.
2. New Zealand’s Spirited Fightback
Chasing 398, New Zealand lost their openers early but didn’t back down. Daryl Mitchell (134) and Kane Williamson (69) put on a staggering 181-run partnership. At 220/2 in the 32nd over, the Mumbai crowd grew silent as the Kiwis threatened to pull off an impossible chase.
3. The Shami Show
The match turned back to India thanks to a record-breaking spell by Mohammed Shami.
- He broke the dangerous Mitchell-Williamson stand by dismissing the captain and followed it up with the wicket of Tom Latham in the same over.
- Shami finished with figures of 7/57, the best-ever bowling performance by an Indian in ODI history.
Historical Significance
- Kohli’s 50th: Virat Kohli became the first human to reach 50 ODI centuries.
- Tournament Streak: This was India’s 10th consecutive win in the 2023 World Cup.
- Shami’s Record: Shami became the fastest bowler to reach 50 World Cup wickets (doing so in just 17 innings).
