Stunning result in Manchester!! I had predicted an England-India final but NZ have been brilliant, unbelievable effort to restrict this India batting for such low total. Great game for Jadeja, hard luck India

Congrats to #kanewilliamson and the @BLACKCAPS on making another final. All the best in the big one. May not have all the talent like some other teams but Best at being "streetsmart" and superb captaincy skills

What a game, Williamson’s calmness and tactical deployment a cut above. #CWC19 #INDvNZ

Never underestimate the underdog. @BLACKCAPS congratulations, the world thought you were the easybeats!
Today is a life lesson that you can climb mountains when the odds are against you. India be proud, your team are superstars, but today NZ had a day out. #cwc19 #INDvNZ

Unlucky team India and a huge congratulations to Black Caps#ICCWorldCup2019

Congratulations to Kane Williamson and the @BLACKCAPS for making it to a second successive World Cup Finals. Ravindra Jadeja along with Dhoni fought brilliantly and got India so close but NZ were brilliant with the new ball and that was decisive. #IndvNZ

— VVS Laxman (@VVSLaxman281) July 10, 2019

It was a second straight World Cup semi-final exit for India, who had topped the league stage.

just like every supporter.
A good fight put up by @imjadeja & @msdhoni but @BLACKCAPS were exceptional today.
Congrats to on making it to the Finals & all the best for the same.
I felt #KaneWilliamson’s captaincy & composure played a crucial role in this result.#NZvIND pic.twitter.com/3sUlW21cgN

Congratulations @BLACKCAPS

Disappointing and frustrated …. The mildest words i can find. Credit to the #BlackCaps they were brilliant #indiavsNewzealand #CWC19

— Deep Dasgupta (@DeepDasgupta7) July 10, 2019

India were reduced to 24 for 4 in chase of 240, but Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni put up a fight in a thrilling finish.

Unbelievable effort to stage a fight back from 90 for 6!! Well done @msdhoni and @imjadeja.. #ICCWorldCup2019

— Ashwin Ravichandran (@ashwinravi99) July 10, 2019

A run out by a direct hit. One superb catch. Economical ten overs. And the best knock of his ODI career. It’s not fair to end up on the losing side…well played, Jadeja. #CWC19 #IndvNZ

— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) July 10, 2019

Congratulations to @BLACKCAPS on making it to the finals. Jadeja played an outstanding innings and got India in the game along with MS Dhoni, yet it was a case of so near yet so far #IndvNZ

— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) July 10, 2019

Jadeja played the innings of his life , and what a day to do so. Dhoni and him got us in it from nowhere but alas wasn’t enough . Well fought India and congratulations to NZ on reaching the finals. #IndvNZ
