Dhawan hits half-century, India in control

October 25, 2017 19:20

India 114-2 (23 ovs) vs NZ 230-9 | Scorecard

Dhawan is given out caught down the leg side off Munro, who is introduced into the attack. He immediately reviews and rightly so as there was no edge and the on-field umpire has to change his decision and also signal a wide.

Four singles from the over as India are content to play it safe and gradually build the total in the middle overs against two part-time medium pacers, who are not looking for wickets but bowl some tight lines.

Dhawan picks a single off Munro to bring up his half-century from 63 balls as India continue to make good progress.

India in control on 114 for two in 23 overs, with Dhawan on 51 and Karthik on 16. They haven't hit a boundary for nine overs but the asking rate is still just over the four runs per over mark.
