New Zealand beat England by 5 wickets to enter the final
In what was possibly the most dramatic contest of the T20 WC so far, New Zealand beat England by five wickets to enter the final, where they await the winner of the second semifinal, set to be played between Pakistan and Australia, on Thursday.
In a 167-run chase, New Zealand seemed to be behind the eight-ball for most parts, requiring 60 runs off the last five overs. However, James Neesham's cameo gave New Zealand the momentum and Daryl Mitchell, who was struggling till that point, broke free.Here's how the Twitter world reacted to New Zealand's win:

Isabelle Westbury @izzywestbury Quite possibly a match-winning innings that by Neesham and y'know what, of all the people to do that against England, I'm oddly okay with it all. Seems… right. Shrugs. #ENGvNZ 05:27 PM • Nov 11, 2021

Sachin Kalbag @SachinKalbag New Zealand * ODI World Cup Runners-up 2019 * World Test championship winners 2021 * T20 WC winners 2021? What a team! 05:57 PM • Nov 11, 2021
Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha This is such an unforgiving format. You miss a bit and you vanish. New Zealand's extra bowler approach, at least today, trumped England's extra batsman approach. 05:53 PM • Nov 11, 2021
