England squash New Zealand with 119-run triumph to achieve World Cup semi-finals

England scored a comprehensive 119-run victory in their must-win match against New Zealand at Chester-Le-Street on Wednesday.


Eoin Morgan's side scored 305-8 in their 50 overs as Jonny Bairstow, player of the match, top-scored with 106 and Jason Roy hit 60. 

The competition has then bowled out New Zealand for 186 to ensure a best four completion in the 10-group gathering stage. 

Britain, who have always lost the challenge, are into the World Cup semi-finals just because since 1992. 

ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER AD 

When the match was finished, the reporters at ESPN Cricinfo started hypothesizing what the semi last structure could resemble given the present win, regardless of whether Pakistan get an opportunity, and considering the way that Australia and India are as of now through. 

"Pakistan should beat Bangladesh by 316 keeps running at Lord's on Friday to expel New Zealand. That is, on the off chance that they score 400, they have to hold Bangladesh to 84 or less. The careful edge will change contingent upon scores. It's not finished at this point!" they said. 

As things stand, England are in line to confront India, as of now second, however it is as yet feasible for Virat Kohli's men to jump Australia at the highest point of the standings. 

In the event that England do play India it will be a rehash of Sunday's match at the Birmingham ground when, following consecutive thrashings by Sri Lanka and Australia, they perpetrated a first turn around upon Kohli's side. 

The opening semi-last between the first and fourth-set sides is booked for Old Trafford next Tuesday. 

Captains' remarks 

The glad England captain, had the accompanying post-triumph comments, as per ESPN Cricinfo: 

"We were remarkable today, began with the two young men at the top laying a strong stage, Jonny's hundred was matchwinning, the wicket changed after the 25th over, each batsman after that discovered it, yet keeps running on the board at that stage was empowering." 

On the bat-first competition: "We can do both, if the wicket directs that 280-300 is far, we can do that. Every one of the wickets have slower and lower all through, it has been a subject, and on the off chance that it proceeds, we will keep on batting first." 

"I think the way we've shown in the last two recreations has been the personality we've been attempting to throughout the previous four years. Plan to deliver that forceful positive vitality." 

Whenever inquired as to whether he has an inclination among Australia and India to go head to head against, he stated: "Not a chance. Only glad to be there." 

The Kiwis' captain, Kane Williamson, had the accompanying remarks: 

"Not perfect to have three thrashings, the formula is basic however difficult. We have to play a superior brand of cricket, the edges have looked enormous, however there have been a great deal of factors. We need to gain from it and push ahead. They defeated us in all aspects and merited the success, however it hindered much after the initial 20 overs, the cutters into the pitch began to stick." 

"At the midway stage we were glad to pull it back, yet we expected to fabricate organizations to take the game profound. We haven't had a stream with our batting, yet regardless you're attempting to apply something of substance." 

Britain innings 

Jonny Bairstow's second progressive hundred established the framework for England's 119-run whipping of New Zealand. 

Britain, who were 194 for the loss of one wicket after 30 overs, could just score 111 in the last 20 overs and lost 7 wickets. 

Matt Henry, Trent Boult and James Neesham each picked two wickets in their 10-over spells. Mitchell Santner and Tim Southee stowed one wicket each, however the last demonstrated to be increasingly costly as he gave away 70 keeps running in his 9-over spell. 

In spite of the speedy fall of wickets in the last 20 overs, England figured out how to set up an average aggregate, on account of opener Bairstow, who struck 15 limits and a six in his dangerous innings of 106 keeps running off 99 balls. The England opener combined up with Jason Roy (60), shaping a vital opening 163-run stand that drove the host group to start up to 104 keeps running in 15 overs. 

After Roy was expelled by Neesham in the nineteenth over, Bairstow shaped a 71-run organization with Joe Root (24). 

Root was expelled by Boult in the 31st over. 

It was Henry who got New Zealand the leap forward they were searching for when he put a conclusion to Bairstow's blazing thump in the 32nd over. Jos Buttler pursued Bairstow before long, when he confused a shot driving it through mid-off where he was gotten by New Zealand captain Kane Williamson in the 35th over. 

Ben Stokes (11), who has been in great structure as of late, was gotten by Henry when he confused a shot on Santner's conveyance. Chris Woakes (4) tumbled to Neesham in the 45th over when Williamson got him at mid-off. 

Henry struck again toward the start of the 47th over to guarantee England captain Eoin Morgan's (42). Adil Rashid (16) was bowled out on a yorker by Southee in the last over of the innings. 

Talking about his century after the innings, Bairstow stated: "I'm truly satisfied clearly. There's been two or three low scores in the challenge also. I sensed that I expected to contribute with certain runs. I'm frustrated not to go on with a major one but rather satisfied to have a hundred." 

New Zealand innings 

New Zealand, who might have achieved the semi-finals had they won this match, saw their pursuit begin severely when Henry Nicholls was lbw for a brilliant duck to Chris Woakes and ruled against a survey that would have reprieved him. 

Martin Guptill, the main run-scorer at the 2015 World Cup, at that point fell efficiently however more awful pursued for New Zealand when senior batsmen Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor were rejected by differentiating run-outs. 

Dark Caps captain Williamson, who came into this match with a competition normal of 113.50, succumbed to 27 in unfortunate design when quick bowler Mark Wood got his fingertips to a Taylor drive and diverted the ball onto the non-striker's stumps with Williamson out of his ground. 

Taylor was undeniably increasingly in charge of his own leave when, choosing to go for a hazardous second keep running on 28, he neglected to beat Adil Rashid's toss from fine leg to Buttler. 

After a concise stoppage when a streaker ran onto the field, the Black Caps lost Tom Latham, got behind for 57, to leave them everything except beaten at 164-7. 

Prior, Bairstow and Jason Roy (60) got England off to a flyer with an opening association of 123 — their third century remain in succession. 

Bairstow achieved his ninth one-day universal hundred off 95 balls, including 14 fours and a six. 

Hurl 

Britain had won the hurl and picked to bat. 

English captain Eoin Morgan said that pitch and overheads were the definitive elements, ESPNcricinfo revealed. 

"The pitches have harder, slower, lower as the match goes on, and it's a pattern that the pitches haven't been comparable to the most recent couple of years. It's somewhat similar to a quarter-last, we train hard, play hard, today is what it's about," he included. 

Following the hurl, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said that they also would have batted yet "it's imperative to carry out a responsibility". 

Lineups: 

Britain: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (capt), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (wk), Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood 

New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson (capt), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham (wk), James Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Matt Henry, Trent Boult 

Tim Southee and Matt Henry were in for the group. Ish Sodhi sat out the match alongside quick bowler Lockie Ferguson, who was discounted because of hamstring damage. 

Ferguson has been one of the stars of the competition for the Kiwis, taking a greater number of wickets than anybody other than Australia's Mitchell Starc with 17. 

"Lockie Ferguson has a tight left hamstring and will miss the present match against England as a safety measure," the New Zealand group said in an announcement. 


Since there was more in question for England at Riverside Stadium, where the figure was for solid play, they kept an unaltered squad for the present match.
