by Spinner Varun Chakravarthy returned figures from 5-42 when India defeated New Zealand on Sunday to set up a semi-final collision with Australia in the Champions Trophy.
India won all three group games on top group A and will play the first semi-finals of the 50-over tournament in Dubai on Tuesday.
“It is important to be too finished at a high,” said India skipper Rohit Sharma after the victory.
“New Zealand is a good team that plays a good cricket. Very important to achieve a good result, we played a perfect game.”
New Zealand will take over on Wednesday in the second semi -final against the winners of Group B in South Africa in Lahore.
India plays all of their games in the Dubai International Stadium after they have refused to go to Tour guest in Pakistan, citing security concerns.
The Rohit team lost the Odi World Champion final 2023 in Ahmedabad in Australia.
“Australia has a rich history to play ICC tournaments well, but it is about us and what we want to do well that day,” said Rohit.
“It will be a great competition that is looking forward to it. Hopefully we can prepare for ourselves.”
Australia and South Africa had to travel from Pakistan from Pakistan to Dubai, although they didn’t know if they would play there, as India was told before the tournament that they would play the first semi -finals if they qualified, no matter where they were done in the group.
South Africa has to fly back to Pakistan before meeting with New Zealand.
Shreyas Iyers 79 and one end 45 by Hardik Pandya steered India to 249-9 after he was invited to beat first.
The New Zealand Tempo Bowler Matt Henry stood with characters from 5-42 of his eight overs.
“The key for us was to get gates in the power play, and that was easy to see,” said New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner. “Our next game is in Lahore, where Henry will be massive.”
– Airborne Phillips –
In his second game, the player of the game Chakravarthy took his first Odi-five-Wicket transport when India scored in 45.3 overs in 45.3 overs in 45.3 overs.
In his 120-ball knock, Williamson survived two trapped catches to 17 and 68 before finally fell, and Axar Patel.
New Zealand lost Rachin Ravindra early when Patel had an excellent catch to relieve the start for six.
Chakravarthy Cut Short wants Young’s Innings on the 22nd when he bowed him with a googly.
Williamson was certain, but could not find a long -term partner because Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham were released for 17 and 14.
India’s spinner dominated under helpful conditions when Kuldeep Yadav Mitchell and Ravindra Jadeja Latham LBW sent back.
Williamson Jadeja hit a border between the two gates to increase his 47th Odi-Halbe century, but India took the gates.
Previously, India had difficulties with 30-3 when Virat Kohli, who played in his 300th one-day international, fell victim to a breathtaking one-hand fan of Glenn Phillips.
A phillips in the air clung to a quickly matured ball at the backward point to Dimiss Kohli for 11 from Henry.
Kohli remained incredulously before he trudged to compatible silence.
Iyer and Patel, who made 42, rose 98 for the fourth Wicket to rebuild the innings against a disciplined New Zealand attack.
Another breathtaking hook, this time by Williamson, who hurled back to the left to make a one-hand gripper near the floor, dismissed Jadeja for 16 from Henry.
Pandya met four four and two six of the runs in his run-a-ball-innings to give India a sum that proved to be sufficient.
