In the match played in Dharamshala, New Zealand batted first and the entire team was all out after scoring 273 runs in 50 overs. In reply, India achieved the target by losing 6 wickets in 48 overs. This victory was very special for the Indian team as it defeated New Zealand, ending a 20-year drought in ICC events. Let us tell you who were the 5 heroes of India's victory.
1) Mohammed Shami - The Indian team's fast bowler Mohammed Shami played his first match in the World Cup 2023 and performed brilliantly. The right-arm fast bowler took five wickets for 54 runs in 10 overs. Due to Shami's lethal bowling, New Zealand's lower order could not stay at the crease and could not touch the 300-run mark. Shami was adjudged Player of the Match for his excellent performance.
