Heavy fog stopped play for a brief period in Dharamsala, but it could only delay India's march to victory against New Zealand, with Virat Kohli scoring 95.
Virat Kohli's crafty 95 trumped Daryl Mitchell's rapid 130 as hosts India beat New Zealand by four wickets in a top-of-the-table clash in Dharamsala in the 50-overs World Cup on Sunday.
Mitchell forged a 159-run partnership with Rachin Ravindra before the Indian bowlers applied the brake. "At one stage, New Zealand put up a big partnership there … we have to give credit to the bowlers in the back end." Once Shami had dismissed Ravindra, New Zealand, cruising at 205-3 in the 37th over, collapsed in a heap, managing 54 runs in the last 10 overs and losing six wickets.Rohit gave India a flying start, smacking four sixes in his effortless knock, as the hosts raced to 71 for no loss in 10 overs.
