    "editor1": "<p><strong>London, July 12 (CRICKETNMORE):<\/strong> New Zealand opener Martin Guptill said that his game-changing run out of M.S. Dhoni durin their 18-run semifinal victory over India was a &quot;lucky&quot; one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I didn&#39;t think the ball was coming to me, but yeah I tried and got there as quickly as I could. Lucky enough to get a direct hit from there and lucky for us as well,&quot; Guptill was quoted as saying by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on its Twitter handle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the first semifinal which was played over two days due to rain in Manchester, India restricted the Black Caps to 239\/8 in 50 overs. But chasing the modest 240 for a place in the final, India were blown away by the Kiwi bowlers led by Matt Henry (3\/37) on the reserve day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India lost four top order batsmen for just 24 runs inside 10 overs before Ravindra Jadeja (77) and Dhoni (50) shared a 116-run seventh wicket stand to raise hopes of an unlikely victory. However, it wasn&#39;t enough in the end as India fell short by 18 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After Jadeja got out, Dhoni was looking to change gears but in the 49th over, Guptill effected a brilliant direct hit to run the former India captain out and dash India&#39;s slim hopes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>New Zealand, who reached their second consecutive final, will take on hosts England in the summit clash at Lords&#39;s on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, ICC&#39;s Twitter post saying &quot;Hasta la vista (goodbye in Spanish), Dhoni&quot; after the iconic stumper batsman got out did not go down well with the Indian fans who slammed the apex cricket body on social media.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
