... THE CHASE ...
Now the wicket is a good one, the ground is a small one. New Zealand batters would be eager to put in a good show. Can they do so is the question. For India, it will be a challenge for their bowlers, the conditions are not easy. Will India inflict a whitewash?
Ish Sodhi is up for a chat. He says that it is a good wicket and dew is there. Says that the ball needs to be dried often. Talking about that catch of Rohit, he says that it stuck and laughs while saying, he is happy to take the wicket with his hand rather than the forehead.
India will be a tad disappointed with their middle order. Rohit and Kishan had laid the platform but there was not a lot of contributions from the middle order. They needed one of the two Iyers or Pant to go on but that was not the case. The lower order though came to the fore. The likes of Chahar, Harshal and Axar really rose to the occasion and have taken them to a total they can defend.
It was the Kiwi spinners who got them back into the game. After Rohit and Kishan smashed the Kiwi pacers all over the park and ended with just below 70 in the first 6, India looked all set for something over 200. However, wickets in the middle overs by Santner and Sodhi pulled things back really well. Santner was the pick with three and Sodhi got the big wicket of Rohit. However, the Kiwi pacers were just not at their best, they leaked far too many runs in the death overs or they could have well kept India to under 175.
So, India have ended with a good score but at one stage they looked set for a lot more. Have to say, the Kiwis will be pretty pleased they managed to pull things back and have kept India well in check. 184, on a flat wicket, with a lot of dew, New Zealand will fancy their chances.
19.6 overs (1 Run) Just a single! 19 coming off the over! Full and outside off. Chahar squeezes it out to cover and takes a single. INDIA END AT 184/7.
19.5 overs (2 Runs) Two more! A full toss, on middle. Chahar mistimes his shot towards mid-wicket where the ball drops safe. Another two taken. Can Deepak Chahar finish on a high?
