Dhawan, Karthik drive India forward

October 25, 2017 19:14

India 100-2 (20 ovs) vs NZ 230-9 | Scorecard

Milne nearly breaks through Karthik's defences as he bowls a quick yorker but he manages to keep it out. He then throws his bat at a wide delivery trying to steer it fine on the off-side but fails to make connection.

De Grandhomme bowls a tight over, conceding just two runs before Boult comes back from the other end, replacing Milne, who bowled a good first spell of four overs for 10 runs.

The Boult-Grandhomme combo working well in tandem as they try to dry up the boundaries and build up some pressure but the required run rate is under control and unless India lose a few quick wickets they look in complete control.

Four singles from the over as India reach 100 for two in 20 overs, with Dhawan on 46 and Karthik on 11.

Dhawan playing a responsible knock, cutting out the risky shots and looking to build a partnership with Karthik.

They need another 131 runs from 30 overs for victory at just four per over.
