India claimed the remaining place in the Women’s World Cup semi-final after dismissing New Zealand for just 79.
Captain Mithali Raj took her runs total for the tournament to 356 with 109 from 123 balls as her team posted 265-7 having been asked to bat at Derby.
New Zealand lost both openers inside three overs and were all out within 26 overs, slow left-armer Rajeshwari Gayakwad taking 5-15.
India will face defending champions Australia at Derby on Thursday.
Raj, who had made three half centuries earlier in the competition, came to the crease in the fourth over and remained until the 50th.
The skipper shared 108 in just 13 overs with Veda Krishnamurthy, who fired the only two sixes of the match in her 70 from 45 balls.
New Zealand were already three wickets down when Gayakwad, making her first appearance in this year’s tournament, came on to bowl the 12th over.
The 26-year-old’s first three overs went without success but she struck in each of her next five, wrapping up the match in style by knocking back Leigh Kasperek’s middle stump.
