When the New Zealand innings was just about to culminate, rain stopped play in the semifinals for a long period of time before the match officials finally decided to suspend play for the day.
The semifinals shall be played out on Wednesday, with New Zealand resuming their innings at 211/5 with 3.5 overs to bat.
The Kiwis got over the 200-run mark on the back of half centuries by skipper Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor.
Earlier in the day, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bat first in what otherwise seemed to be overcast conditions on offer at Manchester.
The Indian pacers were relentless with their line and length in seaming conditions on offer and gave away almost nothing to the Kiwi openers in the power-plays. Bumrah eventually dealt the opening blow by sending opener Martin Guptill back to the pavilion.
Henry Nicolls and Kane Williamson then stitched a gritty partnership to get the New Zealand innings back to track but the Indian spinners continued to apply pressure and chocked the run flow in the middle overs.
Ravindra Jadeja then got into the act to dismiss Henry Nicolls with a peach of a delivery. Kane Williamson kept one end tight and kept ticking the scoreboard with the ever dependable Ross Taylor. Both Williamson and Taylor compiled resilient half tons to pile up the runs for the Kiwis.
Chahal dented a massive blow to New Zealand by outfoxing Williamson with a regulation leg spinner to have the Kiwis three down. Pandya then dismissed the dangerous power hitter James Neesham. Bhuvneshwar Kumar then came back into the attack and struck immediately to send Colin de Grandhomme back to the pavilion.
