Right then! 111 needed for New Zealand to grab the two points. An easy target for them and they will fancy chasing it out. Will it be that easy or the Indian bowlers will play their magic? We will find out as the chase is about to start.

Ish Sodhi is up for a chat, he says that the pitch is playing slow than they expected. Mentions that their main tactic was to bowl touch slower and keep it tight. Tells that unfortunately they dropped a couple of catches but they would take this score on any given day.

New Zealand were top-notch with the ball in their hand. The swing master, Southee and Boult combined to get both the openers out for a timid score. Sharma was dropped on the very first ball he faced but he failed to capitalize on it and then Sodhi then showed his magic and got both the big fish. Trent Boult was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped three wickets to his name. Ish Sodhi too was outstanding with the ball. Overall, it was an excellent performance from the Black Caps and they will be very happy heading into the break.

Well, India's decision to jumble things up front has just backfired on them. One of the world's best opening batsman perhaps, Rohit Sharma walked out at number 3, Kishan who got his first game of the tournament took his place. Too many questions to ask but the results are in front of you. India started with a conservative approach but neither got runs in the Powerplay nor did they manage to keep wickets in the hand. A lot of pressure was on Kohli's shoulder to deliver again but he perished just after the drinks break. Pant and Pandya tried to stable the things but the former went back cheaply. Pandya too fell and then it was Jadeja who helped India cross the 100-run mark. Something for their bowlers to work for.

This has been the trend, isn't it? The captain winning the toss is the happier person walking back to the pavilion. Well, now it was Williamson but thanks to a collective performance from his bowling compartment against the mighty Indian batters. Also, Fun fact - For the first time, a team has failed to hit a boundary between overs 7 & 15 in this T20 World Cup. Not something Kohli & Co. would love to hear.
