The Kiwi team had beaten India on reserve two years ago. Significantly, the rain in the semifinals of the 2019 ODI World Cup has hampered India and New Zealand.

After that the match had to be stopped. The remainder of the match between the two teams was played on Manchester Day.

New Zealand were bowled out for 239 for 8 in their 50 overs and then India were all out for 221. India lost the match by 18 runs and India’s dream of winning the ODI World Cup for the third time was shattered. Chasing a target of 240, India lost 6 wickets for 92 in 31 overs. It was followed by a comeback in the form of Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni. There was a 116-run partnership between the two.
