Latham, Nicholls put NZ in control
October 29, 2017  21:04


NZ 303-4 (46 ovs) vs India 337-6 | Scorecard

It's a do-or-die situation for the Indians as Chahal continues looking to pick another wicket and bring India back.

Chahal floating it wide and looking to get sweep out of the equation but the two left-hander still continue to play that shot.

Excellent over from Chahal under the circumstances as he concedes just five singles as NZ reach 288 for four in 45 overs, needing 50 from five overs for victory.

Chahal finishes with superb figures of two for 47 in 10 overs when all around him have gone for runs.

Bumrah, who has three overs in hand, comes back but India have a headache of whom to use from the other end.

Three singles from the first three balls before Nicholls hits a full toss down to long-on and runs across for two runs.

The next ball is slower as Nicholls swings it over square leg for a four to bring up the 50-run stand from 35 balls.

He looks to paddle Bumrah's next ball but gets a top edge which goes straight over Dhoni and infact it carries all over the fence for a six.

New Zealand firmly in control on 303 for four in 46 overs, needing 35 from four overs for victory.

Bumrah suffered in his last over as he went for 15 in his eighth over as New Zealand continue to make good progress.
