India beat New Zealand by 6 wickets in Pune and now all eyes will shift to the decider at Kanpur.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah went after wickets at the MCA International Stadium to first restrict the visitors to 230 before the batsmen — led by half-centuries from Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik — turned in a good performance under lights.
Twitter reactions from the cricket fraternity on Team India’s win:
Congrats India.This was a thorough professional victory. Bhuvi & Bumrah were brilliant. Great contribution from @SDhawan25 & @DineshKarthik
