Sourav Ganguly after the match said, “Selectors fiddled too much with the middle order. They need to identify players and back them, give them a long rope.

Earlier in the game, Sourav Ganguly was furious the fact that MS Dhoni was not sent ahead of Hardik Pandya. “It's very hard to understand. No MS Dhoni yet. There you see MS Dhoni. You have got 10-and-half thousand runs. Average 50 and he is not in yet when India is under pressure. That's not acceptable. I know he is a good finisher but this is a long way from finished,” he said.

Earlier Sachin Tendulkar had tweeted about how disappointed he was with the loss. Virat Kohli was also very disappointed with the same. New Zealand will now play in the finals of the CWC 2019 against the winners of the second semi-final winners.
