Former Australia all-rounder Simon O'Donnell slammed the Black Caps for their lack of competitive instinct but Mitchell, who scored a 119-ball 134 in New Zealand's response, said the approach would not change. "I think that's something we really pride ourselves on as Black Caps and as New Zealanders. "It's something that we're really proud of, so we'll just keep being Black Caps and doing what we're doing." New Zealand next travel to Bangladesh for a two-test series starting on Nov. 28 and Mitchell said the disappointment of their semi-final exit at the World Cup would not have any impact on their performance. "(After) the T20 World Cup final we played a couple of years ago, we had a T20 in India about 48 hours after that so we're used to it.

Skipper Williamson had no complaints about how the Blacks Caps were manhandled out of the semi-finals by India on Wednesday, possibly bringing to an end his hopes of ever raising the oldest limited-overs World Cup trophy. The batting great, who has played in four World Cup semi-finals and two finals, will be 37 when southern Africa hosts the quadrennial 50-overs showpiece in 2027, while strike bowlers Tim Southee and Trent Boult will be 38. "You can only hope that, as we experienced from some of our leaders as young guys, that we can continue to bring players through. "I love being part of this group and we've got a number of world class players who love being in that changeroom and love playing for New Zealand.

India arrived at the Wankhede Stadium, where they lifted their second and last World Cup trophy in 2011, looking invincible, winning all nine round-robin matches without any stiff challenge, including a four-wicket win over New Zealand. India had also exited the 2015 edition of the 50-over World Cup at the semi-final stage with a defeat to Australia. "Today being the semi-finals, I wouldn't say that there was no pressure," India captain Rohit Sharma told host broadcaster Star Sports, adding that the team wanted to treat the match as just another round-robin game. "Whenever you play the game, there is always pressure, and obviously, semi-final adds a bit of extra there. Sharma will be hoping that his team leave the mistakes behind as they head Ahmedabad for Sunday's final where they will meet either Australia or South Africa.

The venue, where India won their last 50-overs World Cup title, has hosted four day-night contests so far at this tournament with three of those being won by the team batting first. Australia were the only team to win batting second at the ground after Glenn Maxwell hit an unbeaten double hundred. For Wednesday's contest, both India and New Zealand were unchanged from their previous match. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said he would have batted first as well.

MUMBAI, Nov 15 (Reuters) - New Zealand captain Kane Williamson on Wednesday heaped praise on India after losing the World Cup semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium, saying the unbeaten hosts were simply the best side around and were playing outstanding cricket. Williamson was proud of his team's fight during the chase but had no qualms in giving credit to India, who have won all their 10 matches in the tournament. "India are playing seriously good cricket, they're a class side at the top of their game and to come out in a semi-final and continue and repeat what they've been doing throughout this competition shows where they're at as a team," Williamson told reporters. "They're the best team in the world and they're all playing their best cricket, so that's tough. Williamson was effusive in his praise for Mitchell, who also scored 130 in New Zealand's round-robin stage match against India at Dharamsala last month.

Needing 19 runs off Mitchell Starc's final over, New Zealand milked 13 runs off the first four legitimate deliveries to keep the heat on Australia. "That was awesome," Australia captain Pat Cummins said after their fourth win in six matches. Glenn Phillips broke the burgeoning stand by taking a return catch to dismiss Warner, but Head raced to a 59-ball century. New Zealand were uncharacteristically sloppy in the field, dropping five catches, with Head the beneficiary on two occasions. That left Ferguson with the job of hitting the final delivery for six, but he drilled it straight to the cover fielder instead.

Shami claimed 5-54 in Dharamsala on Sunday to help the hosts to a four-wicket win and a 5-0 unbeaten record at the tournament. Shami said he would rather be training at the home pitch than taking a break from the game. "Sometimes it happens that when you are busy for 12 months, you get relaxed after going home," said the 33-year-old. Shami replaced Pandya, who injured his left ankle during India's seven-wicket win over Bangladesh last week. Shami said he had not minded sitting out India's first four World Cup matches.

Twice champions India left out an injured Hardik Pandya and fellow all-rounder Shardul Thakur bringing in batter Suryakumar Yadav and seamer Mohammed Shami. Rohit said India relished chasing on a track, where dew could make bowling difficult in the second innings. "In training yesterday we thought dew came in early," Rohit said. New Zealand, who are without regular skipper Kane Williamson, fielded the same team that beat Afghanistan in their previous match. "We would've bowled first as well due to the dew," stand-in skipper Tom Latham said.

"It's just a different pitch to bowl with in the lights," Broad told reporters. The England skipper's 31 included his 108th six to take him past his coach Brendon "Baz" McCullum as the most prolific scorer of the maximum in test cricket history. Wagner could have dismissed him on the next delivery but his miserable day continued when he caught the England skipper on the boundary only to fall over the rope and give Stokes his 109th test six. "If we can get a couple of partnerships together, we can make a fist of this total."

Martin Guptill will play in his seventh T20 World Cup and Devon Conway will keep wickets in addition to his batting duties at the tournament, which starts for the Black Caps with a re-run of last year's final against Australia in Sydney on Oct. 22. Seamer Adam Milne, who was an injury replacement for Lockie Ferguson at last year's tournament in the United Arab Emirates, was retained in the absence of Kyle Jamieson, who has a back problem. Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterHard-hitting batsman Allen and all-rounder Bracewell are the numeric replacements for leg spinner Todd Astle and wicketkeeper Tim Seifert, who both missed out. "With the nucleus of that squad retained along with the exciting additions of Finn and Michael, we should go into the tournament with plenty of optimism." New Zealand also face Afghanistan, England and two as yet undetermined qualifiers from the opening stage of the tournament in Group 1 of the Super 12.
