In a strange semi-final that was played over two days, New Zealand won by 18 runs and stunned India, who were one of the favourites to win the title. It was the exceptional swing bowling from Trent Boult and Matt Henry which broke the back of the Indian batting line-up first up.

On the India tour of New Zealand in 2014, the visitors were already trailing by 0-2 in the five-match ODI series. When Martin Guptill cracked a stylish ton in the first innings of the 3rd ODI, the hopes of India keeping the series alive looked dull. Two of India's spin all-rounders then rose to the occasion.

Since 2018, India have taken the most (101) balls to dismiss 8-11 batsmen in Tests. England and Sri Lanka are behind them with 92 and 90 balls respectively.

Had the Indian batsmen been more proactive at the Basin Reserve or had the rub of the green gone their way on crucial moments, the result could have been different.
