PRECIS
Defeat in sport can yield a spectrum of emotions. Some arouse anger. Others leave a country numb. Different moments during India's semifinal against New Zealand also evoked a melange of sensations. First, it was disbelief at the loss of three early wickets, then there was outrage at the ill-executed shots in the middle. Finally, hope hovered fleetingly, conjured by an inspired Ravindra Jadeja, with MS Dhoni in support. But the game ended in an Indian heartbreak in any left with lingering regret of what could have been. The lament was more because the defeat was unexpected. The defeat didn't come from a rival that was fundamentally superior. New Zealand had lost their three previous games earlier this year; India had thrashed the Kiwis 4-1 in their own backyard. India was under the illusion it could hustle the world with top-order muscle and avoid a painful and searching examination of its middle order, which was as reliable as the weather of Manchester. It would be tempting to blame individuals but the fact is that India lacked depth and class in that area.

Answer:-
India VS New Zealand
New Zealand home India defeated in the last four matches, finally surrendered to Newzealand. The loss of the match is due to the loss of three early wickets and the weakness of middle-order batsmen. Hence, India should search for and rectify the middle-order batsman.
