...Presentation coming up...

Earlier, after choosing to bat first, it was the Gill show. The opener of India scored a double-hundred and single-handedly took his team over 300. When the others struggled, Shubman Gill put on a show and entertained everyone. In the end, it turned out just enough.

India kept their nerves but their bowling was a bit ordinary. Apart from Mohammed Siraj, no one looked composed. There were too many extras as well. What looked like an easy win for India, they had to work hard and the bowlers had to handle their nerves. We feel New Zealand started the chase slowly and that didn't help them. And also lost wickets at regular intervals but if there is any positives from the game, it is the innings from Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner.

Here is the man himself, Michael Bracewell says they just tried to give themselves a chance. Feels he gathered a bit of information of the bowlers but all that matters is when the ball comes and they have to think quickly. Shares they tried to take the game deep and did not think much about winning the game. Reckons they left too many runs to chase in the final phase.

India have won the match but take a moment and applaud the performance of Michael Bracewell. New Zealand were dead and buried at 131 for 6. It looked like an easy win for India but then came the blinder from Michael Bracewell. He single-handedly kept the Kiwis in the game. Michael Bracewell was striking at all parts and at one point looked like will take his team home but the chase turned out to be too big. Michael Bracewell played a gem of an innings and got support from Mitchell Santner as well but in vain in the end.
