India fell short by 18 runs against New Zealand on Wednesday to exit the World Cup at Edgbaston in the semi-finals. For the first time in One-day International history, the top three batsman of a side made a solitary run.
India struggled through the powerplay and were reeling at 24/4 after 10 overs, the worst tally during the tournament so far. Virat Kohli’s struggle in the knockout rounds of the World Cup continued. Incidentally, the most prolific century-maker in ODI cricket ended the tournament without a single three-figure score to his name.
New Zealand also joined a select brand of teams to reach the World Cup final on two consecutive occasions. Ravindra Jadeja’s blitz gave India hope but alas, New Zealand held their nerve at the death. The Kiwis now have a winning record against India in World Cups.
Here are some of the key statistics from the game.

India have spent 4 years perfecting a low-risk approach against the new ball; today showed that it's as vulnerable as England's high-risk approach. And yet, individual results don't invalidate either tactic.@CricViz analysis of India falling short.

It feels like a lifetime ago but New Zealand's batsmen deserve great credit for adjusting their expectations of a competitive score on what was the equal third most difficult pitch (6.4/10) of the comp according to PitchViz. They could have aimed higher & fallen short. #CWC19

- Ravindra Jadeja’s 77 made its way to the history books. Coming in at No 8, his whirlwind knock took India close to victory.
Ravindra Jadeja almost won India the game with his 77 off 59 balls. His innings is the highest by an Indian at number 7 or lower in the World Cup, also the highest by any batsman at number 7 or lower in a World Cup knockout match.#INDvNZ #NZvIND #CWC19

- For one of the best runners between wickets, this doesn’t make for good reading.
