Openers Dhawan, Rohit give India a flying start

November 01, 2017 19:43

India 80-0 (10 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

De Grandhomme bowls a very high full toss to Rohit and it is so high that it comfortably beats the wicketkeeper and goes for four byes. More importantly, the Indians get a free hit which Rohit tries to hit down the ground but can't beat Southee on the long-off fence who drops the catch but manages to keep it down to two.

The medium pacer bowls another high full toss as Rohit takes a single. Dhawan makes most of the free hit delivery as he crashes it through the covers for a four to race to 44 from 31 balls, with Rohit struggling to get going, scoring 22 from 25 balls.

Sodhi bowls another good over as both Rohit and Dhawan pick three single each to get six from the over.

At the halfway stage, India are sitting pretty on 80 for no loss in 10 overs.
