Kohli run 95 masterminds chase as India beat New Zealand
In a top-of-the-table match at the 50-over World Cup on Sunday, hosts India defeated New Zealand by four wickets thanks to Virat Kohli's skilful 95 over Daryl Mitchell's quick 130. Even though Kohli was unable to finish the chase, he was crucial once more as India needed just two overs to reach a victory target of 274 and keep their winning streak going in the tournament. The two-time winners moved to the lead of the standings with their fifth straight victory, followed by New Zealand, the 2019 runners-up who suffered their first loss in the competition. Mitchell scored a quick hundred, but New Zealand failed to capitalize and was dismissed for 273 in precisely 50 overs. Before the Indian, Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra (75) partnered for 159 runs.
