        Last Wicket: 21 / 3 - SR Tendulkar 15 (16)


  • India won by 7 wickets  
      40.4 Styris to Kaif, FOUR, and another one from Kaif, replaying the same
            stroke, heaving the ball again to the midwicket fence and getting
            India home extremely comfortably in the end
           So that ends New Zealand's defence of their total, India getting
            home comfortably in the end, seven wickets and almost 10 overs in
            hand
           India notch up their seventh win in a row, maintaining their run of
            good form leading into the semifinals of this World Cup.
           New Zealand on the other hand will be disappointed with their
            performance in this crunch game, and they must hope for Sri Lanka
            to lose to Zimbabwe tomorrow to get through to the semifinals.
           India were boosted hugely by their suddenly-potent pace
            triumvirate, Zaheer Khan doing the bulk of the damage today with
            four wickets.
           And after Shane Bond had India reeling at 21 for three, Mohammad
            Kaif and Rahul Dravid played sensible, solid cricket to take their
            side home.
           Man of the Match: Zaheer Khan
           Join CricInfo tomorrow for the live coverage of the final two Super
            Six matches. Sri Lanka take on Zimbabwe in a crucial game at East
            London in a day match, starting at 0800 GMT
      40.3 Styris to Kaif, FOUR, just short of a length, and Kaif heaves it
            away over midwicket, apparently fed up with the slow pace and the
            rain complications, India now need just one to win
      40.2 Styris to Dravid, one run, glided to third man, India get closer to
            their target as the rain comes down, but India are well ahead on
            Duckworth-Lewis
      40.1 Styris to Dravid, no run, Dravid wants to finish it off with a big
            hit over midwicket and misses, just as a little drizzle starts to
            descend
