How Virat Kohli's historic ton and seven-star Mohammed Shami powered India to fourth World Cup final

NEW DELHI: Batting great Virat Kohli conjured a magical record 50th ODI century while middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer fired a second consecutive World Cup hundred as India blew away New Zealand by 70 runs to enter fourth final of the cricketing extravaganza in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Continuing with their unbeaten juggernaut in the semi-final, India put together yet another clinical performance as Rohit Sharma and co. avenged their 2019 semis heartbreak against the Men in Black in the tournament.

After Kohli and Iyer dazzling tons helped India amass a towering 397 for four, Mohammed Shami starred with the ball, picking up his third five-wicket haul as the Kiwis folded for 327 in their chase and exited the tournament.
