Semi-finals: New Zealand to be the first finalist of T20 World Cup

New Zealand won the semi-finals by five wickets from England and qualified as the first finalists in the tournament.

New Zealand had lost key batsmen Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson in their pursuit of 167 against England in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup on Wednesday.

Prior, Chris Woakes struck on the third ball to send back Guptill out for four and afterward got Williamson’s valued scalp after the Kiwi commander, who made five, died while endeavoring a scoop shot.

DUBAI here we come! Special late hitting from @dazmitchell47 72* from 47 and @JimmyNeesh 27 from 11 sends the team to the @T20WorldCup FINAL. Scorecard | https://t.co/fSFo2zZtnL #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/Iaa2AQEh6f
