That brings us to the end of the semi-finals of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, at the conclusion of which we are certain of the fact that the World Cup will have a first-time winner in either England or New Zealand.

The two teams posted contrasting wins to book their ticket to London — New Zealand suffering an almighty scare from India before ending up on the right side, while England handing arch-rivals Australia a sound thrashing at Edgbaston to storm into their first World Cup final in 27 years.

We now have a three day break before the two sides meet at the 'Home of Cricket' for the summit clash. Can't wait for what is expected to be a thriller of a finale. Till then, it's a goodnight from the Firstpost sports desk.
