In a top-of-the-table match in the 50-over World Cup on Sunday, India defeated New Zealand by four wickets thanks to Virat Kohli's shrewd 95 and Daryl Mitchell's quick 130. Even though Kohli was unable to finish the chase, his composed innings allowed India to achieve the required score of 274 with two overs left, maintaining their tournament-winning streak.
In a matchup of previously unbeaten teams, Mitchell hit a quick hundred before New Zealand was outscored 273 to nothing. When India decided to field, they got rid of both of the openers quickly, but they were careless overall, missing three catches, which allowed New Zealand off the hook. Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra (75) partnered for 159 runs. Mohammed Shami took the lead in that attempt, winning his opening match of the competition 5-54.
