Virat Kohli scored a record-breaking 50th one-day international hundred before Mohammed Shami took a sensational seven wicket-haul as India sealed a place in the World Cup final with a 70-run win over New Zealand in Mumbai yesterday. Kohli made 117, to surpass the record he had shared with India great Sachin Tendulkar, and Shreyas Iyer, a rapid 105 in a commanding total of 397-4 that also featured Shubman Gill’s 80 not out. Now, the Rohit Sharma-led side is just one win away from ending a 10-year drought for an ICC trophy.
