IND vs NZ: IND LOSE BY 21 RUNS!
Washington Sundar completed his fifty but it was not enough as New Zealand win the game by 21 runs! They take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series and India will have to look deep into the reasons behind the batting performance!
A wicket maiden for Lockie Ferguson in the 18th over of the match and it looks tough for India now. 50 needed off 2 overs and this is increasingly looking like game over!
A straight delivery from Lockie Ferguson and Kuldeep Yadav edged it straight to Devon Conway behind the stumps. A golden duck for him and India lose their eighth wicket!
3 overs left and 50 runs to win - It is all down to Washington Sundar. He has already scored 29 but it will take something special from him to guide India to victory!
Another wicket goes down and India are in deep trouble! Shivam Mavi was not careful in putting his bat down while taking the run and a direct hit from Mitchell Santner ended his short stay at the crease.
Another wicket for Mitchell Santner and this has been a special match for him. Deepak Hooda was completely foxed by the slow delivery and Devon Conway made no mistake in completing the stumping. India six wickets down for 111.
Another chance goes missing and this time, Mark Chapman is the culprit. Another bad shot from Deepak Hooda but it fell agonisingly short of the fielder. Major luck!
A top edge from Washington Sundar but Ish Sodhi was unable to complete the catch at fine leg. The ball went high up in the air and although Devon Conway made a run for it too, it feel awkwardly for Sodhi. India 99/5
Mitchell Santner has been the pick of the Kiwi bowlers till now and after bowling 10 dot balls, Suryakumar Yadav was able to finally take a single off him.
A sweep off the spinner and a cut off Blair Tickner - There is no stopping Suryakumar Yadav! He is playing brilliantly as India are looking comfortable in the run chase at the moment.
A miscued reverse sweep attempt from Suryakumar Yadav and the ball struck his pads. New Zealand hesitantly took the review but the impact was just outside the off stump!
India 39 for the loss of three wickets after seven overs. Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav have been cautious in their approach but have also kept the scorecard ticking. However, they need to accelerate in order to keep the run rate in control.
A boundary for the India captain Hardik Pandya as well as he heaves Lockie Ferguson over the covers. First expensive over for India and New Zealand will be looking to tighten the screws a bit more.
A four and a six for Suryakumar Yadav and the pressure is relieved ever so slightly on India. The hosts lost three quick wickets but with the ODI Player of the Year at the crease, the hope is still well and alive! India 27/3
This is a disaster for India! Top edge from Shubman Gill and it is the first wicket for Mitchell Santner. Turn and bounce off the pitch and India lose their third wicket for 15.
Rahul Tripathi is dismissed for a duck! A faint edge was caught by the wicketkeeper and the review confirmed the first wicket for Jacob Duffy! India 11/2
Michael Bracewell strikes early for New Zealand and it is disaster for Ishan Kishan. The left-hander missed the ball completely and it crashed into his off stump. India 10 for the loss of onew wicket.
Conway holes out to long-off. He departs on 52. Conway sees it in his zone and looks to clear long-off. It is perhaps just short of driving length, and he is on the crease
New Zealand (Playing XI): Finn Allen, Devon Conway(w), Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner(c), Michael Bracewell, Jacob Duffy, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner
