6.01pm A five-wicket haul for the returning Mohammed Shami - becoming the first Indian to do so twice at ODI World Cups. A terrific partnership between Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell as well. And some terrific yorkers from Bumrah. A fascinating 50 overs where the pendulum swung on numerous occasions. Eventually, NZ were hurt bad by the six wickets falling in the last six overs. They failed to get the acceleration they were building towards and credit for that also must go to Kuldeep Yadav's strong return spell. Jadeja's spell was tidy and Mitchell's century was well earned after NZ were 19/2 at one stage. BRB with the chase soon. Interestingly ESPNcricinfo's forecaster gives NZ the edge by 52-48.
Rachin Ravindra: "It took me longer to get to my rhythm. They made it tough for us to score. (Target) I think we looked at the 280-ish mark knowing the pitch was keeping low. They pegged us back nicely at the death. I think Jadeja and Kuldeep didn't get a lot of turn but the seamers were up and down with low bounce."
Chandrasekaran : "First and final power play 88-8 Middle overs 185-2Great start and end by indian inningsGreat control by rachin and mitchell in middle overs "
Ritesh: "India chasing 274 in a world cup game. Opposition's first over being bowled by a left arm quick. I am getting Centurion 2003 vibes."
Ashish: "All things considered, india have bowled brilliantly. It's just that they came across two batters who batted brilliantly too while riding a bit of luck. NZ had the firepower to go beyond 300."

Morten: "@Faust Grenaldo: It's called conditions. It's called wickets. And it's not called T20."
Chaitanya: "Nothing against the brilliance of Shami but main reason for his wickets is Bumrah as batsman try to compensate Bumrahs economical overs by trying to hit other bowlers."
Faust Grenaldo: "Very strange ending to the innings. We've got a set batter on a run-a-ball 120, but NZ just not able to accelerate."
