Cricket World Cup 2019: Newshub entertainment reporter gets absolutely schooled in rules

We're down to the business end of the Cricket World Cup and good news, fans - New Zealand are still in the running.

Just.

The Blackcaps have scraped through to the semi-finals and face India on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning (NZT), with the winners progressing to Sunday's final.

Newshub online entertainment editor (and self-confessed cricket debutant) Mon Barton appealed to sports reporter Henry Rounce for a quick lesson in the nuances of the one-day game.

Watch the full video for the outcome.
