It was an incredible game of cricket, never expected Daryl Mitchell would be the hero of the day for New Zealand and now the revenge of 2019 50 over World Cup is sweet as New Zealand was able to win when no one game them a chance. Half stage when New Zealand were chasing i thought they were not going anywhere as they were struggling with timing the ball and i thought England will win but they changed my perception when they won by an over to spare.

Memories from 2019 are still fresh in everyone's mind. Personally I thought that the trophy was stolen from New Zealand. I don't know who is going to win today's semifinal between Pakistan and Australia, but for me New Zealand is the most probable team to win the trophy from now on. That said, I don't know what went wrong with the England bowlers yesterday. They conceded 60 runs in just 4 overs (16 to 19). Apart from Liam Livingstone, almost everyone else went for 10 runs per over or more.

England lost only because of poor bowling. They bowled well enough in the first 10 overs. But they failed to take Mitchell and Conway's wickets. These two players have to change the scene throughout the match. Neesham's innings of 27 off 11 balls was also quite effective. I think the pitch was a lot more spin helpful. We may see such a pitch in the match between Pakistan and Australia.

Adil Rashid's bowling was very weak in this match. The team had more expectations from Rashid on such a pitch. But he gave 39 runs in 4 overs. Although he was able to take 1 wicket. Moeen Ali is a good bowler. I don't know why he was not allowed to bowl. He bowled brilliantly against Sri Lanka. He gave only 15 runs in 3 overs.
