Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Sanju Samson (W) c Rachin Ravindra b Kyle Jamieson 10 7 2 0 142.86

1.5

Kyle Jamieson to Sanju Samson, OUT! CAUGHT! Kyle Jamieson has the last laugh and boy, he is pumped. This is pitched fuller and around middle, angling in. It is there to be put away as well but Sanju Samson just clips it using his wrists and straight to Rachin Ravindra at mid-wicket. Rachin snaffles it to his left and that is a soft dismissal for Samson. He has to walk back for 10 (7) and India are 18/1.

Abhishek Sharma c Kyle Jamieson b Ish Sodhi 84 35 5 8 240

11.6

Ish Sodhi to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! Ish Sodhi gets his man eventually but the damage has already been done. Sodhi tosses the ball, but lands it outside the line of off stump. Abhishek Sharma goes down on one knee and looks for the slog sweep again but has to fetch the ball. Abhishek ends up dragging it high over wide mid on where Kyle Jamieson settles under it and pouches the ball safely. End of a fiery knock from Sharma as he departs for 84 off just 35 balls.

Ishan Kishan c Mark Chapman b Jacob Duffy 8 5 2 0 160

2.5

Jacob Duffy to Ishan Kishan, OUT! CAUGHT! Another soft dismissal and India are just looking to smash every ball in the Powerplay. Jacob Duffy takes a bit of pace off this delivery and bowls it back of a length outside off. Ishan Kishan steps forward to go over the off side but has to reach for it. Kishan hits it in the air and straight to the extra cover fielder. Mark Chapman takes an easy catch and India are 27/2 inside the first 3 overs.

Suryakumar Yadav (C) c Tim Robinson b Mitchell Santner 32 22 4 1 145.45

10.4

Mitchell Santner to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! CAUGHT! This one does carry and Tim Robinson makes no mistake. Cleverly bowled by Mitchell Santner as he flights the ball up and drifts it in with the arm. Suryakumar Yadav looks to back away but fails to create enough room and lofts it over mid on. Robinson runs in from the deep and dives forward to take a fine catch. SKY departs for a well-made 32 (22) and India are now 126/3.

Hardik Pandya c Mark Chapman b Jacob Duffy 25 16 3 1 156.25

15.4

Jacob Duffy to Hardik Pandya, OUT! TAKEN! 'Something's going to happen on this ball,' quipped Ian Smith on air just before the ball was bowled and right on cue, it did. A big wicket for New Zealand. Into the deck, pace off, on middle. Hardik clears the front leg and has a jab across the line. He fails to get the distance on it and holes out to deep mid-wicket, where Mark Chapman times the leap to perfection and takes the catch over his head. 25 (16) for Pandya. India are now 185/6.

Shivam Dube c & b Kyle Jamieson 9 4 0 1 225

13.4

Kyle Jamieson to Shivam Dube, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! The simplest of return catches and Kyle Jamieson gets another wicket. Slower delivery, just back of a length on middle and leg. Shivam Dube looks to turn it leg side but the ball sticks in the pitch and catches the leading edge. The ball lobs straight back up and Jamieson pouches it with ease. A short stay at the crease for Dube as he departs for 9 (4) and India are now 5 down for 166.

Rinku Singh not out 44 20 4 3 220

Axar Patel c Daryl Mitchell b Kristian Clarke 5 5 0 0 100

17.5

Kristian Clarke to Axar Patel, OUT! CAUGHT! The slower ball does the trick for Kristian Clarke. Maiden T20I wicket for Clarke. Kristian rolls his fingers over the ball and pushes it across the left-hander. Axar gets his hands out in front to play the lofted drive. Neither does he get the elevation, nor is it wide enough to beat the fielder. Daryl Mitchell sprints to his right at long off and stays side-on to complete the catch. India are now 7 down for 209.

Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Devon Conway (W) c Sanju Samson b Arshdeep Singh 0 2 0 0 0

0.2

Arshdeep Singh to Devon Conway, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A stunner from Sanju Samson. Devon Conway departs for a two-ball duck. Full and moving away in the air. Conway extends his hands away from his body and goes hard on the lofted drive on the off side. The ball takes the outside edge and it loops behind towards the keeper. Samson dives to his left and sticks out his left glove to hold onto a fine catch.

Tim Robinson c Shivam Dube b Varun Chakaravarthy 21 15 2 1 140

6.3

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tim Robinson, OUT! CAUGHT! No timing on it whatsoever from Tim Robinson and he has to walk back to the shed. Varun Chakaravarthy drags the length back by a couple of inches and keeps it fairly straight. Robinson opts to charge down the track but miscues it completely. The ball lobs straight towards short mid-wicket, where Shivam Dube takes a straightforward catch and the brewing stand is broken. Varun gets a wicket in his first over and Robinson walks back after making 21 (15).

Rachin Ravindra c Abhishek Sharma b Hardik Pandya 1 5 0 0 20

1.3

Hardik Pandya to Rachin Ravindra, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Hardik strikes from the other end and backs up what Arshdeep did in the first over. Angling away again, on a back of a length, on middle. Ravindra uses his feet this time but is nowhere near the pitch of it. He pushes hard at the ball to force it down the ground. Gets an outside edge and it is snaffled by Abhishek Sharma to his left at slip. New Zealand are 1/2, chasing 239.

Glenn Phillips c Shivam Dube b Axar Patel 78 40 4 6 195

13.3

Axar Patel to Glenn Phillips, OUT! CAUGHT! A cry of anguish from Phillips as soon as he hit it. He knew it straight away. Axar spears it in, flat and on a nagging length, on middle. Glenn rocks on the back foot to unleash the pull but he is hurried on the shot. Ends up hitting it a lot straighter towards long on. Shivam Dube could have taken a couple of steps forward and made the catch easier for himself, but he opted to stay back. He got low to complete the catch. Phillips departs for a well-made 78 off 40 balls. New Zealand needed him to go longer.

Mark Chapman c Abhishek Sharma b Varun Chakaravarthy 39 24 4 2 162.5

14.5

Varun Chakaravarthy to Mark Chapman, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Mark Chapman holes out. That will make New Zealand's job all the more difficult with both set batters now back in the hut. This is slowed down, on the shorter side, on middle. Chapman shimmies down the track and swings through the line. He is not to the pitch of the ball and gets only the height and not the distance. Abhishek Sharma runs in off the ropes and settles under the skier. Wicket number 2 for Chakaravarthy.

Daryl Mitchell c sub Ravi Bishnoi b Shivam Dube 28 18 4 0 155.56

19.3

Shivam Dube to Daryl Mitchell, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent judgment in the deep from the substitute fielder and Shivam Dube picks up a wicket as well. Slower one, on a good length and outside off. Daryl Mitchell goes after it but loses his shape and ends up lofting it wide of long off. Ravi Bishnoi runs across the turf to his left and snaffles it, all while keeping his balance.

Mitchell Santner (C) not out 20 13 2 0 153.85

Kristian Clarke c Rinku Singh b Shivam Dube 0 1 0 0 0

19.4

Shivam Dube to Kristian Clarke, OUT! CAUGHT! Two in two for Shivam Dube and it's a golden duck on T20I debut for Kristian Clarke. A low full toss, well wide of the off stump. Clarke hangs back and is quick to get across to the off side. He lays into the shot and crunches it flat towards long on. Rinku Singh leaps up a bit and takes a fine catch a few yards inside the ropes.
