The imperious Virat Kohli helped India stay perfect at the Cricket World Cup with a four-wicket victory over New Zealand, but he did miss out on a historic century worldcup
Hosts India were set 274 for victory in Dharamshala after Daryl Mitchell struck a wonderful 130 for the Black Caps, who had also won their opening four group-stage fixtures worldcup
New Zealand’s unbeaten start was ended, though, with Kohli leading the charge with a superb 95, but he was dismissed with only five more runs required for victory and his 49th ODI hundred, which would have drawn him level with Indian great Sachin Tendulkar worldcup
After India won the toss, New Zealand were put into bat first and Mitchell helped them recover from 19 for two with a 161-run partnership for the third wicket with Rachin Ravindra worldcup
Mohammed Shami dismissed Ravindra for 75 and would later account for Mitchell on his way to five for 54, but only after the Black Caps middle-order batter plundered five maximums in his scintillating knock to help his nation reach 273 all out from their 50 overs worldcup
India captain Rohit Sharma led from the front in reply, hitting 46 and putting on 71 with Shubman Gill before it turned into the Kohli show worldcup
Kohli marshalled India’s chase expertly with half-century stands with Shreyas Iyer (33) and KL Rahul (27) before Ravindra Jadeja walked out with the home side on 191 for five worldcup

Yet a six over cow corner off Trent Boult and a four two balls later suddenly put Kohli into the nineties, but he failed equal Tendulkar’s tally of 49 ODI centuries worldcup
Kohli’s attempted big shot in Matt Henry’s next over picked out Glenn Phillips, but the silenced partisan home crowd were back celebrating when Jadeja pulled for four to clinch a fifth straight victory worldcup

Emma Finucane is trying to ignore her new status as sprint world champion as she sets her sights on achieving Olympic glory in Paris next summer worldcup
The 20-year-old Welshwoman shocked herself when she took the women’s individual sprint title in Glasgow in August, beating Germany’s favoured Lea Friedrich in the final worldcup
Finucane donned the rainbow jersey for the first time in competition at the UCI Track Champions League opening round in Mallorca this weekend, but while the distinctive striped jersey means she can no longer keep herself inconspicuous, she does not want it to change her approach worldcup
“People will look at me now,” Finucane told the PA news agency worldcup
“Last year I was kind of the underdog and I just came through so now I am wearing the stripes worldcup
I hope that doesn’t really change anything worldcup
“I’m just trying to ignore it and just race my bike, but there is some external pressure worldcup
I’m not just Emma at the back of the field anymore worldcup
”The rainbow jersey can do different things for different riders worldcup
While many take it as a confidence boost, for others the stripes have worn heavily worldcup
Finucane said she had spoken to several Great Britain team-mates about how to deal with it worldcup
“I don’t want to look at it (as giving me a psychological edge) because if I lose, then what?” she said worldcup
“And I will get beaten, and that’s fine worldcup
I just need to take it as it comes worldcup
“Half of it is the mental battle of putting it on and people looking at you and having that pressure, but I’m trying to embrace it and enjoy it because you don’t know if it will happen again worldcup
“worldcup Beth Shriever is a really good friend of mine and she’s been the BMX world and Olympic champion worldcup
She said she didn’t have the best year in the rainbow jersey because she put too much pressure on herself and she overthought it worldcup
“I’ve spoken to Evie (Richards, 2021 mountain bike world champion) and Katie Archibald (a five-time world champion on the track) and I’m lucky we have so many inspiring women in the Great Britain team worldcup
It’s great I can learn from them but ultimately I will only learn from myself and how I deal with it worldcup
”And Finucane believes the Champions League – the made-for-TV track cycling series which is in its third season – is the ideal place to do much of that learning, providing some top-level competition without the stresses and pressures that come elsewhere worldcup
“The next event I’ll do in the rainbows is the Euros (in January) which is when everything is serious,” she said worldcup
“I’m not saying this isn’t serious, but it’s a nice place to be free to fail worldcup
You can try new things worldcup
”Saturday’s racing in Palma saw Finucane finish second in the sprint, beaten by Germany’s Alessa-Catriona Propster, before failing to make the keirin final through some tired legs worldcup
But it was just the sort of experience she was looking for when it came to dealing with her new status worldcup
Finucane will wear the stripes into an Olympic year but despite her status is taking nothing, not even squad selection, for granted worldcup
“Nothing is guaranteed,” she said worldcup
“I’d love to go and I’m really pushing myself but I need to take each race as it comes worldcup
If I just think about Paris and everything else goes wrong I’ll not be going worldcup
“But it’s in the back of my mind because since I was 10 years old I’ve wanted to ride the Olympics worldcup
“As the GB sprint team we’ll not just be going there to ride but we’re looking for medals and I fully believe we have the potential to win worldcup
It’s super exciting but also super scary worldcup
