India advanced to the ICC men's ODI World Cup final, where they will either play South Africa or Australia, with yet another impressive display as they thrashed New Zealand by 70 runs. The first-batting side amassed an enormous 397/4 in 50 overs, and in 48.5 overs, they bowled New Zealand out for 327. Virat Kohli, who is in phenomenal form, went on to hit his 50th ODI tonne, overtaking batting legend Sachin Tendulkar in the list of batters with the most ODI tonnes. With a brilliant 105 off just 70 balls, Shreyas Iyer provided a great counterpoint to Kohli's performance.  Earlier, India won the toss and chose to bat, and Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave them an exciting start. After putting on 71 runs in 8.2 overs, Rohit was dismissed for 47 off 29 balls by Tim Southee. Gill too had some style, but cramping ended his innings early, forcing him to limp off at 79. In the last over, he batted and added one run to his total. With the ball, Mohammed Shami once again displayed mastery, taking seven of the ten wickets.
