Daryl Mitchell turned the primary batter to attain two a whole bunch in opposition to India in a single version of the ODI World Cup through the semifinal on the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Mitchell had struck a 127-ball 130 in opposition to the Men in Blue in Dharamsala within the league stage of the match and adopted it up with a 85-ball hundred on Wednesday. The 32-year-old now has six centuries within the format, the seventh-most by a Kiwi batter.
His 181-run partnership with Kane Williamson for the third wicket gave India a scare and helped New Zealand put up a valiant battle in a run-chase of 398.
Mitchell is simply the second batter to attain two a whole bunch in opposition to India in ODI World Cup historical past. Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting, who scored an unbeaten 140 within the 2003 closing and 104 within the 2011 quarterfinal, was the primary to perform the feat.
Mitchell can also be solely the second Kiwi, after Glenn Turner in 1975, to register an ODI World Cup century in opposition to India.
