Giving a target of 240 for the Indians to win the match, the Kiwis struck very early in the match and three top batsmen were shown the pavilion for mere six runs. And the fourth wicket fell at 37. New Zealand could have scooped up another important wicket in the 13th over, when Neesham dropped a catch at mid wicket that would have dismissed Rishabh Pant.
Thereafter the Indians seem to have taken a stand, but the Kiwis were not giving in and kept the pressure. Jadeja from India placed himself firmly but he too was sent home at 77. Dhoni paid for his dirty trick by deliberately allowing England to win and keep Pakistan out and was too had to see way back at the critical stage of the match.
Thereafter, it was just minutes before the final Indian crumble who were all out with 18 runs to chase.
So well done Kiwis - now win your maiden World Cup !!
