November 04, 2017  19:27


NZ 48-0 (6 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Just one over for Siraj before he makes way for Jasprit Bumrah. The first ball is pitched right up and moves away slightly as Guptill throws his bat but is beaten. The next ball is a full toss but Guptill taps it gently back to the bowler.

A superb start from Bumrah as he gives away just three singles in his opening over.

Kohli takes a gamble as he introduces leg-spinner Jasprit Bumrah in the Powerplay.

And Guptill goes after the leg-spinner immediately, hitting two sixes and a four in his first four balls.

He lofts the second ball down the ground over long-on for a six and then repeats the shot for a four.

Guptill then slog sweeps the leggie for a mighy six over midwicket followed by one to get 17 runs from Chahal's first over.

Bumrah looks to bowl another good over but Munro spoils his plans as he crashes the fifth ball past point for a four.

New Zealand are off to a cracking start as they race to 48 for no loss in six overs, with Guptill on 30 from 26 balls and Munro on 15 from 10 balls.
