Ms Dhoni's run out in the penultimate over proved crucial as India lost to New Zealand in the semi-final by 18 runs at Old Trafford in Manchester. 100-run partnership between MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja for the seventh wicket gave India some hope after a stunning top-order collapse left them reeling against New Zealand on Wednesday. India lost key batsmen Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul for just one run each as they slumped to five for three and were 24 for four when Dinesh Karthik was out for six. But India recovered to 150-6 off 40 overs, needing a further 90 runs off the remaining 60 balls to reach a victory target of 240 at Old Trafford. But that wasn't to be as both set batsmen Jadeja and Dhoni got out in quick succession trying to up the ante. Earlier, New Zealand added 28 runs in the remaining 23 balls of their innings to finish on 239-8 after rain had stopped play on Tuesday. Ross Taylor, who resumed on 67 not out, top-scored with 74 after Williamson had made a masterly 67 in awkward conditions. (SCORECARD)

Big wicket for New Zealand. Ravindra Jadeja perishes after playing the innings of his life. He tried to take on Boult but for the first time mistimes it completely and Williamson completes a good catch.
Ravindra Jadeja is beaten by the slow short ball, wanted to work it for a single but instead managed to find the gap between keeper and short third man.
Mid-off was in, Ravindra Jadeja picks up the slower ball early, makes some room going on the leg stump and lofts it straight over long-off fence for a six.
Neesham rolls his fingers over the ball and bowl a slower bouncer, Ravindra Jadeja plays it towards fine leg, only manages a top edge but it dropped just short of Ross Taylor.
Ravindra Jadeja for the third time in the day dances down the track and sends Mitchell Santner's ball deep into the stands. He has been reading the length really well today.
Poor line form Lockie Frguson and Ravindra Jadeja gets enough bat on the ball to collect a boundary towards fine leg fence. This shot also brings up the 50-run stand between MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja.
Ravidnra Jadeja played the ball with soft hands and wanted to come back for the second run but Dhoni sent him back in time. Also, the throw from the deep wasn't pinpoint and probably is what gave him the time to come back in his crease.
In his five overs, Mitchell Santner has given just five runs and picked up a crucial wicket of Rishabh Pant. India have scored only 15 runs in last nine overs.
MS Dhoni walks into bat amidst loud cheers from the spectators. He has played some memorable innings batting at this position. If he can get India across the line from this situation, this would probably be his most memorable. But question is... can he?
Mitchell Santner gets rid off dangerous Rishabh Pant for 32 as he tried to hit him over deep midwicket fence after playing four dot balls on the trot. That was the longest part of the ground and Pant should've taken that into consideration.
Jimmy Neesham offers width outside off stump and Rishabh Pant slashes his bat hard, ball takes thick outside edge and races away to the third man fence.
Colin de Grandhomme gives nine runs in his second over as Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya continue to build the Indian innings after multiple blows upfront.
Martin Guptill saves three runs at point with his acrobatic effort. New Zealand players have been quite electric in the field so far, of course barring that dropped chance by James Neesham.
Trent Boult and Matt Henry created havoc upfront as they dismissed both Indian openers and skipper Virat Kohli for just 1 run inside four overs. Dinesh Karthik then took 21 deliveries to get off the mark but fell on 6 off 25 balls. India are 43/4 after 15 overs.
Rishabh Pant flicks Lockie Ferguson's first ball off his pads in the air which goes straight to Jimmy Neesham at short midwicket who drops a sitter. A couple of over back he took probably the best catch of the tournament and now here he is dropping a sitter, this is cricket for you.
DROPPED!
Lockie Ferguson's first ball is clipped to midwicket by Rishabh Pant, where Jimmy Neesham, who took a blinder just moments ago, shells the chance.
