India 134-4 (30 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard

Jadhav turning it on for the Indians. He comes down the track, makes room before lofting Santner over the off-side for a wonderful six.

The last ball is swept through square leg for a four to raise the 50-run stand for the fifth wicket between Jadhav and Dhoni from 52 balls.

Jadhav has raced his way to 32 from 26 balls, while Dhoni has played second fiddle on 18 from 28 balls.

The Maharashtra flicks Boult through midwicket for a couple, pushing his captain for the second before taking one to thirdman as the scoreboard keeps moving.

Henry comes back to replace Boult, who bowled another good spell, for total figures of one for 11 in six overs.

Jadhav steers the first ball fine of the thirdman fielder for a couple before taking one to thirdman.

Henry bowls another poor short ball, which doesn't rise much and Dhoni swats it square on the leg side for a four as India get the momentum back.

After 30 overs, India are 134-4 with another 109 needed from 20 overs for victory with six wickets in hand.

Jadhav has been a revelation with the bat, stroking his way to a fluent 38 from 32 balls, while Dhoni is batting steadily on 23 from 34 balls.
