Twitterati reacts after New Zealand enter the finals by beating England in a closely fought semi-final contestNew Zealand produced a sensational effort in the first semi-final of the ongoing T20 World Cup to overcome the stern challenge of pre-tournament favorites England. Kiwi opener Daryl Mitchell (72* off 47) played a composed knock and accelerated at the right time to shepherd his side to a memorable five-wicket triumph.Chasing 167, all-rounder James Neesham (27 off 11) played a blazing cameo to give momentum to his side after Mitchell laid the platform in the company of Devon Conway (46 off 38).New Zealand suffered a heartbreaking loss in the final of the 2019 ODI World Cup at the hands of Eoin Morgan's men. After two years, New Zealand have finally managed to level things in their competitive rivalry with England.Fans and former cricketers were amazed by the sensational effort of both teams and took to Twitter to express their views after New Zealand emerged victoriously.Twitterati reacts after New Zealand get past England in an ICC knockout S.Badrinath@s_badrinathNZ gets their sweet revenge 👏#T20WorldCup #ENGvNZ11:06 AM · Nov 10, 2021141881NZ gets their sweet revenge 👏#T20WorldCup #ENGvNZSachin Tendulkar@sachin_rtWhat a brilliant game of cricket. #NewZealand once again winning hearts along with winning the game.Great knock by Mitchellwho was well supported by Conway & Neesham.Bairstow’s incident at the ropes reminded me of what happened with Boult in the 2019 finals.

Williamson explained that Daryl Mitchell played smart cricket and utilized the match-ups to his advantage.He further asserted that Neesham's cameo turned the match in their favour. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Kane Williamson said:"Not an experiment in terms of his character but that's something that stood out today and pretty much every game he has played. He brings real quality there and he stood up under pressure. Outstanding knock from Daryl Mitchell but just staying in there and playing small matchups was a great effort."He added:"We've seen it all tournament - depending on the surface and what is the short side, the chances come and Jimmy maximized it. We did have wickets in hand and that made the difference. He (Neesham) came out and hit the ball hard. That's what he does and it was a really, really valuable knock. He changed the momentum of the game for us. It was a game of really small pieces and you are always trying to win those small moments.New Zealand will now face the winner of the second semi-final match between Australia and Pakistan. Kane Williamson and Co. will be hoping to bag their second ICC trophy this year after having already won the World Test Championship (WTC) in June.
