ICC World Cup 2019 | England beat New Zealand by 119 runs

Jonny Bairstow’s 106 off 99 balls along with Mark Wood’s 3/34 helped England seal semi-final berth in ICC World Cup 2019. Batting first, England got off to a perfect start with both Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy hammering the ball all around the ground and eventually registering 123-run stand. Their contribution, along with Morgan’s late-fire 42 off 40 helped the host to finish for 305 runs, which on the given day, turned out to be too much for the Kiwis as they fell short by a massive margin of 119 runs at Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street.
