India claimed a fifth successive win in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. India got the job done against New Zealand at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. Notably, New Zealand suffered their maiden defeat in the ongoing World Cup. New Zealand rode on solid knocks from Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell, who shared a record 159run stand for the third wicket. Mitchell’s heroics made the difference as he smashed a solid 130. For India, speedster Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers. He claimed 5/54 from his 10 overs. In response, Indian openers added 71 runs before both players departed (76/2). Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer added 52 runs, and the former also stitched a decent fifty-plus stand alongside KL Rahul. India were in a spot of bother in between. However, a match-winning stand between Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja helped India, who chased down the score in 48 overs.

Here are the major records that were broken in this contest.
