Cricket News: India knocked out of WC 2019

MS Dhoni's run out in the penultimate over proved crucial as India lose to New Zealand in the semi-final of ICC World Cup 2019 by 18 runs at Old Trafford in Manchester. Chasing 240 in 50 overs, India got off to a worst possible start as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul were sent packing for just one run each as they slumped to five for three and were 24 for four when Dinesh Karthik was out for six. Matt Henry wreaked havoc with the ball bagging three wickets. A 100-run partnership between MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja for the seventh wicket gave India some hope after a stunning top-order collapse. But that wasn't to be as both set batsmen Jadeja and Dhoni got out in quick succession trying to up the ante.
