Virat Kohli\u2019s crafty 95 trumped Daryl Mitchell\u2019s rapid 130 as India beat New Zealand by four wickets in a top-of-the-table clash in the 50-overs World Cup on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Kohli could not complete the chase but his matured knock helped India to reach a victory target of 274 with two overs to spare to maintain their unbeaten run in the tournament.<\/p>\n
Mitchell smashed a rapid hundred before New Zealand were all out for 273 in a clash of previously unbeaten sides.<\/p>\n
Electing to field, India removed both the openers early but were sloppy on the field, dropping three catches to let New Zealand off the hook.<\/p>\n
Mitchell forged a 159-run partnership with Rachin Ravindra (75) and New Zealand, sitting pretty at 205-3 in the 37th over, looked poised for a 300-plus total before Indian bowlers applied the brake.<\/p>\n
Mohammed Shami led that effort, claiming 5-54 in his first match of the tournament.<\/p>\n
Skipper Rohit Sharma (46) led India\u2019s rollicking start but it was Kohli\u2019s fourth 50-plus score in five innings that helped to inflict on New Zealand their first defeat of the tournament.<\/p>\n
