[Saba Sports News] In the exciting ODI World Cup 2023 semi-final, India triumphed over New Zealand with an impressive cricket display. Choosing to bat first, India set a formidable score of 397/4, highlighted by Virat Kohli’s outstanding century. Kohli’s 117 off 113 balls not only steered India to a strong position but also broke Sachin Tendulkar’s record, achieving his 50th ODI century.
New Zealand’s response was spirited, but Indian bowler Mohammed Shami’s outstanding performance was decisive. Shami took 7 wickets in 9.5 overs, conceding only 57 runs, and was named Player of the Match, ensuring India’s spot in the World Cup final.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated Shami’s achievements on Twitter, praising his exceptional World Cup bowling. Modi’s tweet highlighted Shami’s significant contribution to India’s success.
Shami’s performance, especially in a critical match, reflects his skill and dedication to the team. India is set to compete against either Australia or South Africa in the final, to be held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 19th.
