The Kiwis coasted to a seven-wicket victory after bowling out India for simply 124 in their 2d innings.
"We were absolutely outplayed in this collection," stated Kohli, who had a top rating of 19 in 4 innings.
"We were not high quality enough, we were not brave enough."

"You need to find out precisely what took place and then come with a better question. You can't come here with 1/2 questions and 1/2 information of what came about.
"And additionally, if you want to create controversy, this isn't always the proper area to be. I had spoken to the in shape referee and he had no issues with what took place."
Victory actions New Zealand as much as third within the WTC table, one area above England and a spot at the back of Australia. The pinnacle two groups meet within the final at Lord's in June 2021.
