Daryl Mitchell's stunning innings of 135 runs proved in vain this morning as the Black Caps fell to a 70 run defeat to India in their Cricket World Cup semi-final in Wankhede.
The unbeaten hosts chose to bat first and posted 397 for 4 thanks to a record 50th one-day century to Virat Kohli and a ton to Shreyas Iyer.
The Black Caps were then all out for 327 despite 69 from captain Kane Williamson and Mitchell's impressive hundred with fast bowler Mohammed Shami claiming a seven-wicket haul for India.
Mitchell told reporters that it was bittersweet to score a century as the Black Caps were dumped out of the World Cup.
