Lokesh Rahul became the 4th Indian batter to surpass the 300-run mark in this tournament with an impressive 102 over the Netherlands, He even recorded the fastest century by an Indian in the World Cups when he attained the milestone in just 62 balls.

Pre-Match Analysis:

India are the only side in the tournament to remain unbeaten with 9 wins their longest winning streak in the ICC Cricket World Cup. They topped the standings with 18 points with a fabulous 160-run win over minnows Netherlands on Sunday at Bengaluru. Despite qualifying into the knockouts already, they played with their full-strength eleven to keep the same intensity and got a game before the highly anticipated Semi-Final clash against the Kiwis. Centuries from Shreyas Iyer and Lokesh Rahul propelled them to a score of 410, the highest score in this edition of the World Cup, and later their bowlers ripped off the fragile Dutch batting unit to 250 runs on the board. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are giving a solid start for the side and it is stepping as a perfect platform for the middle order to finish things. Virat Kohli will be the man to watch out for who tops the leading run-scorers chart in this tournament and 6 short of scoring 600 runs. Arguably they have the best bowling attack and haven’t conceded 300 runs yet whereas bowled the opposition out twice for less than 100 runs.

The Kiwis had to stretch till their final league game to earn a Semi-Final spot. They beat Sri Lanka by 5 wickets chasing the moderate score of 171 runs at Bengaluru on Thursday to finish 4th in the standings with 10 points. They started off well with 4 wins in a row and later suffered 4 losses in a row which slightly put them in a bother. The bowlers delivered at the right time against Sri Lanka with Trent Boult standing tall, and bagging 3 scalps which earned him the Player of the Match award. There have been special performances to cherish in this tournament with Indian-origin Rachin Ravindra producing some eye-catching knocks, accumulating a total of 565 runs in 9 innings and even picking up 5 wickets. Mitchell Santner has picked up the most wickets for them with 16 scalps at an economy of 4.81. Fit-again Kane Williamson is ready to roar against India while keeping an eye on Daryl Mitchell, Devon Conway, and Glenn Phillips. They need to keep in mind that, they lost to India by 4 wickets earlier in the competition.
